Bergamot FCF citrus bergamia

Bergamot FCF has a sweet fruity, citrus aroma and is clear in colour. Bergamot is the perfect oil to help lift that Monday-morning feeling any day of the week! This Bergamot oil is FCF (Furocoumarin-free also known as bergaptene-free). We have this Bergamot oil re-distilled in the UK to remove the waxes, including bergaptene.

The bergaptene content of the full version of this oil causes photosensitivity, ie, it should not be used on the skin before exposure to sunlight or UV sunbeds.

Directions:

After distillation, the oil is clear, compared with the deep green colour of the original oil and is safer to use on the skin.

Try adding 20 drops to a bottle of unfragranced shower gel to give you get up and go in the mornings.

Try 2 drops each of Bergamot and Ylang Ylang in 10ml of Jojoba oil as an alternative moisturiser for spotty or problem skin.
