Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil

Bergamot oil is a cold-pressed essential oil extracted from the peel of Citrus aurantium bergamia fruit, primarily cultivated in southern Italy. This distinctive citrus oil is prized for its unique Earl Grey tea-like fragrance profile, combining fresh citrus top notes with subtle floral undertones. Formulators value bergamot oil not only for its sophisticated scent but also for its natural antimicrobial properties, though it requires careful handling due to its photosensitizing bergapten content.
