How to use

Diffuse to brighten and balance a space with a cheerful citrus-floral lift that feels both energizing and emotionally calming.

Bergamot BF (bergaptene-free) is a highly trusted choice for leave-on skin and body products because the removal of bergaptene eliminates the phototoxicity concern associated with standard bergamot, making it safe to use in products applied before sun exposure.

Widely used in personal perfumes, cologne blends, roll-ons, and body mists where citrus brightness and skin safety are both required. Frequently found in facial oils, body lotions, toners, and skin care blends across all skin types.

A natural fit for emotional wellness blends designed to address low mood, anxiety, and mental fatigue. Commonly used in bath products, massage oils, and body butters for its bright, uplifting, yet calming aromatic character.

Popular in men's and women's grooming products alike for its versatile, crowd-pleasing citrus-floral profile. Frequently added to candles and diffuser blends where a clean, uplifting opening note is desired.

Caution

Skin sensitivity may occur. Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be diluted before applying directly to the skin. Keep out of reach from children. If pregnant or breastfeeding please ask your doctor before use.
