Bergamot (FCF) Essential Oil is Bergapten-Free, as an alternative to regular Bergamot Essential Oil for use in skin case, or anywhere photosensitivity would be a concern. It has a sweet and lemony fresh top note with a warm, floral and balsamic undertone. A favourite with aromatherapists and oil burners for the uplifting and fresh scent and positive mind attributes. Its high linalool content can help ease pain and inflammation, it stimulates the secretion of certain hormones which lessen the sensitivity of nerves to pain. We've rectified the oil to remove the furcoumarins which make unrectified Bergamot oil hazardous to use before or during a spell in the sun. However, caution should still be applied before using this version of Bergamot on exposed areas of skin in the sunlight. The Italians have used Bergamot in folk medicine for centuries.
