Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot Essential Oil is a fresh, fruity and citrus essential oil extracted from the peel of the bergamot orange through cold pressing. It is popular in skincare, haircare, soaps, perfumes and aromatherapy because of its refreshing smell and skin-friendly properties. This oil helps lift your mood, balance oily skin and reduce bad odour naturally.

Benefits and Uses

• Balances Oily and Acne-Prone Skin: Bergamot oil helps control excess oil and reduce acne-causing bacteria. It keeps the skin fresh, clean and balanced without making it dry.
• Brightens Dull Skin: Its mild cleansing action helps remove dirt and impurities, giving the skin a more even and glowing look.
• Reduces Dandruff and Itchy Scalp: Bergamot essential oil helps soothe the scalp and reduce dandruff. It keeps the scalp clean and supports healthy hair growth.
• Fresh and Relaxing Aroma: The uplifting citrus smell helps reduce stress, tiredness and mood swings. It is commonly used in diffusers, candles and aromatherapy blends.
• Natural Deodorising Effect: Its refreshing fragrance controls bad odour, making it a great ingredient for perfumes, body washes and deodorants.
• Useful in Soaps and Cosmetics: Bergamot oil adds a fresh citrus note and improves the overall fragrance of soaps, lotions, creams and shampoos.

Concentration and Solubility

• Recommended Usage: 0.5% to 2% for skincare and 1% to 3% for haircare and wash-off products (always dilute before use).
• Solubility: Oil-soluble (not soluble in water). Mix with carrier oils, butters or base oils.

How to Use

• For Skin and Hair Products: Add Bergamot Essential Oil in the final step of your formulation after the mixture cools, and mix well with a carrier oil or cosmetic base.
• For Aromatherapy: Add a few drops to a diffuser or carrier oil to enjoy its relaxing and refreshing citrus aroma. Do not use directly on the skin without dilution.

Note:

Essential oils are highly concentrated. Always do a patch test and avoid direct sunlight on skin after applying Bergamot oil, as it may increase sun sensitivity.
