Bergamot Essential Oil *Pro
Amber glass bottle with dropper containing 30 ml
Bergamot essential oil, a fragrant gem extracted from the zest of the bergamot fruit (Citrus bergamia), is a precious essence valued for its unique scent and numerous benefits. Originating primarily from the Calabria region of Italy, this oil is distinguished by a fresh, citrusy, and slightly floral fragrance, with a subtle sweet note that evokes the Mediterranean sun. It is a must-have in aromatherapy, perfumery, and even in culinary applications, where it adds a touch of elegance, notably in the famous Earl Grey tea.
Profile and Benefits
Bergamot essential oil is obtained through cold-pressing of the fruit’s peel, preserving its active compounds such as limonene, linalool, and linalyl acetate. These molecules give it exceptional properties:
- Soothing and relaxing: Ideal for reducing stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of calm and well-being when diffused or applied in massage (diluted in a carrier oil).
- Purifying: Its antiseptic and antibacterial qualities make it an ally for purifying the air or treating oily and blemish-prone skin.
- Energizing: Its invigorating aroma uplifts mood and combats mental fatigue.
- Digestive: When used internally (under professional supervision), it can support digestion.
Flash Point
The flash point of bergamot essential oil is approximately 58°C (136°F), meaning it should be stored away from excessive heat and open flames to preserve its quality and ensure safe use. This relatively low flash point reflects its high content of volatile compounds, responsible for its intense fragrance and potent effects.
Why Choose Bergamot Essential Oil?
Versatile and refined, it adapts to every moment of the day: a drop in a diffuser for a serene ambiance, diluted in a massage oil for a relaxing treatment, or a subtle touch in your homemade cosmetic creations. However, caution is advised due to its photosensitivity caused by the presence of furocoumarins: it is recommended to avoid sun exposure for 12 to 24 hours after skin application.
An Exceptional Essence
With its perfect balance of freshness and sweetness, bergamot essential oil is more than just a scent: it’s an invitation to travel, a concentrate of nature that awakens the senses and harmonizes body and mind. Add it to your daily routine for a unique and beneficial sensory experience!
100% pure bergamot essential oil
To soften the olfactory intensity and bring out the delicate and floral notes of certain essential oils, it is recommended to dilute the 100% concentrate with a carrier oil.
