## About
Bergamot is one of the loveliest citrus notes there is, and one of the trickiest to wear: natural cold-pressed bergamot is not safe on skin that will meet sunlight or ultraviolet light. This is the bergamot for everything that touches the skin.It is cold-pressed from the rind of organically produced Citrus bergamia in Sicily, then vacuum distilled to remove the bergaptene, leaving it furocoumarin free. It is not a pure and natural oil, then, but one adjusted for your safety, and the producer has also decolorized it, so it carries only a tint of green rather than the richer green of natural bergamot. The scent remains delightful: citrus and floral, fruity and warm.Use it in perfumes, massage blends, skin care and toiletries. For the aroma lamp or diffuser, the natural cold-pressed bergamot is the one to choose.DetailsBotanical name: Citrus bergamiaOrigin: Sicily, Italy; organically producedMethod: cold-pressed rind, vacuum distilled (furocoumarin free), decolorizedShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingBlends with: black pepper, clary sage, cypress, frankincense, geranium, helichrysum, jasmine, lavenders, nutmeg, rosemary, sandalwood, vetiver, ylang-ylangHow to useDilute it in a carrier for perfumes, massage oils and skin care.
