Bergamot essential oil is extracted from the rind of the bergamot fruit, which is a citrus fruit that is commonly used in flavorings and perfumes. However, bergamot essential oil contains a chemical compound called bergapten, which can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight and increase the risk of sunburn or other skin damage. This compound also makes bergamot essential oil phototoxic, meaning that it can cause skin irritation or burns when exposed to sunlight or other sources of UV light.

To address the phototoxicity issue, a type of bergamot essential oil called Bergamot FCF (Furanocoumarin Free) has been developed. Bergamot FCF essential oil is created by removing the bergapten compound through a process of distillation or vacuum fractional distillation, which eliminates the phototoxicity issue. This makes Bergamot FCF essential oil safe to use in skin and hair care products without the risk of causing skin irritation or burns when exposed to sunlight.

In terms of benefits, Bergamot FCF essential oil shares the same therapeutic properties as regular bergamot essential oil, such as its calming and uplifting effects on mood, its ability to reduce stress and anxiety, and its support for healthy skin and hair. However, Bergamot FCF essential oil is safer for use in skin care products and can be used more widely in formulations without the need for caution regarding sun exposure.

Notable Uses

Physical uses: Colds, flu, fevers, infections, immune support.

Notes: FCF stands for furocoumarin-free. This form of Bergamot does not carry the concern for use in the sun, and can be used in products that are left on the skin.

Scent Profile

Citrus
Probably one of the more recognizable and popular fragrances is from the citrus essential oil scent family. Many people describe scents in this family as bright, clean, and mild. These are familiar fragrances to most of us and remind us of cleaning the house on Saturday mornings as they’re often used in cleaning products.

Popular citrus essential oils include lemon, bergamot, grapefruit, and lemongrass.

The oils in this scent family offer both physical and mental health benefits to those who use them. They can help reduce or balance stress and anxiety, promote energy, and create a cleansing sensation while also decreasing blood pressure.

Hair and Skin Benefits

Bergamot FCF essential oil has several potential benefits for hair and skin. It is known to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it helpful for managing skin conditions such as acne and eczema. Bergamot FCF essential oil is also believed to balance the skin's natural oils, making it suitable for both oily and dry skin types.

Additionally, Bergamot FCF essential oil can help to promote hair growth and can be used to address dandruff and other scalp conditions. It is often used in hair care products to help restore shine and vitality to dull or damaged hair.

*It is important to note that essential oils should always be properly diluted before applying to the skin or hair, and a patch test should be performed to check for any potential irritation or allergic reactions.
