Like many essential oils, and especially those in the citrus family, the aromatherapeutic properties of organic bergamot essential oil may help you unwind and promote a positive mood during everyday stress.* When diffused, organic bergamot essential oil will repel outdoor invaders, such as mosquitoes and other pests. Add a few drops to a tiki-torch wick or whip up your own DIY insect repellent spray.* If you’re winding down and want something bright and relaxing in the air, this essential oil fits right in. Some people use bergamot essential oil in massage blends to promote comfort after physical activity.* Topically, organic bergamot essential oil helps balance oily skin and gently helps to unclog pores.* It sloughs away excess oil and can help keep skin feeling clear.* This makes it a great option for teenagers. For topical aromatic use, add bergamot oil to a carrier oil and rub it gently into the abdomen as part of a soothing massage routine.* Like other citrus essential oils, bergamot essential oils may cause sun-sensitivity. In the bergamot plant, the compound responsible for this reaction is bergapten. When exposed to UV rays, it can increase your risk of sunburn.
