Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot Essential Oil  – Citrus bergamia – is 100% pure oil. The method of extraction is by cold pressing the rinds of the Bergamot fruit. The Bergamot orange is yellow/green in colour, grown and processed on the undulating slopes of Sicily and Reggio di Calabria, Italy on the shores of the Mediterranean.

The rind of the fruit gives off a citrus/spicy aroma – a little like a cross between orange and grapefruit.

You can purchase Bergamot Essential Oil with the Bergaptene included but Heritage Oils Bergamot Oil is free of Bergaptene which is the component of the oil that causes skin sensitivity in the sun. By using our oil makes it safer to use in facial oils and creams.

With its light citrus note, Bergamot oil aids in building confidence and provides assistance in healing some skin conditions.

Bergamot is often seen as blended with many other essential oils. We suggest Ylang Ylang, herbal oils, Buddhawood and WA Sandalwood as it can be an effective anti-biotic and disinfectant specifically on the surface of the skin which is exposed to pollutants and free radicals consistently throughout the day.

Try in a shower after a hard day’s work or sprinkled in a relaxing bath.

Bergamot oil is known to assist depressive disorders and can stimulate the senses when inhaled in a vaporiser. Bergamot is also a lovely oil and when inhaled relaxes and composes the body and mind.

Bergamot essential oil blends well with other essential oils to produce a light and breezy pulse point perfume.
