BERGAMOT FCF Essential Oil

Citrus bergamia Italy, cold-pressed. Ethically Farmed (furo-coumarin free)

Now, for therapeutic use and in the lamp or diffuser, I still want our organic, natural Bergamot described above. But natural Cold Pressed Bergamot Oil  is NOT a safe oil to use on skin that will be exposed to either sunlight or ultraviolet light, and should not be used for perfumes or massage blends that might cause sun damage.

This delightful Sicilian Bergamot Oil has had the Bergaptine removed so that it IS safe for your perfumes or massage blends. No, it's not a "pure and natural" oil, it has been adjusted for your safety. The producer has also decolorized it. The resulting oil has a mere tint of green to it, but not the richer green of our Pure and Natural Bergamot above. This is the Bergamot you want for use in skincare, toiletries, etc.

WARNING: SAFE for Sun and UV light Exposure.
