Bergamot Pure Essential Oil 10 ml — Cold-Expressed, Earl Grey Bright

Sunlit citrus with a tea-kissed smile—uplift for foggy moods and stuffy rooms.

Pressed from the peel of bergamot oranges, this cold-expressed oil opens bright and gently floral—the signature Earl Grey nuance with a green, lightly bitter edge. A favourite in diffusers, brisk room mists, and calm-uplift blends (always well-diluted). In aromatherapy, bergamot is cherished for clearing the mental haze, easing everyday tension, and refreshing the air. This wonderfully versatile oil is also useful in healing skin infections like general wounds, psoriasis, cold sores, and eczema. It is useful in the treatment of urinary tract infections and boosts the functions of the liver, spleen, and stomach.

Safety

For external use only. Do not use neat on skin. Always dilute and patch test. Avoid eyes and mucous membranes. Keep away from children and pets; do not apply to the face of infants/young children.

Phototoxicity: Classic cold-expressed bergamot contains furocoumarins (e.g., bergapten) that can increase sun sensitivity. If used on skin, keep leave-on blends at or below 0.4% and avoid UV/sun exposure for 12–24 hours after application. FCF (bergapten-free) bergamot is not considered phototoxic; still use sensible low dilutions. If pregnant, nursing, under medical care, or with specific conditions, seek professional advice.

Allergen information (naturally occurring): may contain limonene, linalool, citral, and geraniol.
