Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot Essential Oil, The Citrus Soul of Southern Italy

Bright, elegant, and beautifully balanced, Bergamot Essential Oil is one of the most beloved citrus oils in aromatherapy and natural skincare. With its uplifting aroma and skin friendly properties, it brings a sense of calm clarity and sunshine warmth into everyday routines.

At OC Beauty, we love Bergamot for its ability to feel both refreshing and grounding at the same time, like golden light in a bottle.

What is Bergamot Essential Oil?

Bergamot Essential Oil is cold pressed from the peel of the Citrus bergamia fruit, grown along the sun soaked Calabrian coast of Italy. The fruit itself resembles a cross between an orange and a grapefruit, producing an oil that is uniquely sweet, citrusy, and lightly floral.

Our Bergamot Calabrian Essential Oil is ECOCERT verified and Cosmos Approved, and is bergaptene free, meaning it has been processed to remove compounds that can cause photosensitivity when exposed to sunlight.

  • Botanical Name: Citrus bergamia

  • Plant Part: Fruit peel

  • Origin: Italy

  • Extraction Method: Cold Pressed
