Frequently Asked Questions:
Is Bergamot Oil phototoxic?
Yes, cold-pressed Bergamot Oil is phototoxic due to the presence of furocoumarins (primarily bergapten). Applying it to the skin before sun exposure can increase the risk of severe sunburn and blistering. It must be diluted properly and sun exposure must be avoided for at least 12 hours after topical application.
"Bergapten-Free" (or FCF - Furocoumarin-Free) Bergamot Oil has been processed to remove the phototoxic compounds. It is the safer choice for leave-on skincare products like lotions and creams that are used during the day. Our standard offering is the traditional, phototoxic type unless otherwise specified.
What is the difference between regular and "Bergapten-Free" Bergamot Oil?
Its unique aroma—a harmonious blend of fresh citrus and delicate floral notes—makes it an irreplaceable top note. It provides an immediate, refreshing burst that elevates and blends seamlessly with a wide range of other fragrance families, creating complexity and depth.
Why is Bergamot Oil so famous in perfumery?
Absolutely. It is one of the most popular oils for aromatherapy diffusion. Its refreshing and calming scent is excellent for reducing feelings of stress and anxiety, purifying the air, and creating a positive, uplifting environment.
Can I use Bergamot Oil in a diffuser?
Yes, but with caution. Due to its phototoxicity, the traditional cold-pressed oil should only be used in night-time products or products that are thoroughly rinsed off. For daytime facial products, a "Bergapten-Free" (FCF) version is highly recommended to ensure safety.
