Expressed from the peel of the Bergamot fruit, this Bergamot oil is specially formulated as 'FCF' (Furocoumarin-free, also known as bergaptene-free). The removal of bergaptene, a compound responsible for photosensitivity, ensures that this oil is safe for topical use without the risk of adverse reactions from sunlight or UV exposure. Absolute Aromas carefully re-distills the oil in the UK, eliminating waxes and terpenes”including bergaptene”resulting in a clear, refined oil that is gentler and safer on the skin compared to the original deep green variant.This Bergamot FCF oil boasts a uniquely rounded, fresh citrus aroma that is both uplifting and invigorating. It is an excellent choice for enhancing mood and energizing your daily routine. For a refreshing start to the day, try adding 20 drops to a bottle of unfragranced shower gel for an invigorating shower experience that helps to chase away the Monday blues or any sluggish moments.Beyond its delightful scent, Bergamot oil is renowned for its powerful antiseptic, cleansing, and astringent properties. It is particularly beneficial for oily or problematic skin types, helping to balance and purify the complexion. For targeted skincare, blend 2 drops each of Bergamot and Ylang Ylang oils with 10ml of Jojoba oil to create a natural alternative to conventional moisturizers, ideal for spot-prone or blemished skin.Key benefits: Photosensitivity-free formulation for safe skin application Refreshing citrus aroma to uplift and energize Antiseptic and astringent properties support oily and problem skin Versatile use in aromatherapy, skincare blends, and personal care productsExperience the purity and versatility of Absolute Aromas Bergamot FCF Oil, perfect for both aromatherapy enthusiasts and skincare aficionados seeking a natural, skin-safe essential oil with invigorating benefits.
