Cold-expressed in Sicily from wild-harvested bergamot peel, this 100% pure Bergamot FCF Essential Oil (Citrus bergamia) offers a light, refreshing citrus aroma with subtle floral and balsamic depth. FCF (furocoumarin-free) processing removes the light-sensitive compounds, so the oil is far less likely to cause photosensitivity when used on skin.
A favourite with aromatherapists for lifting mood during stressful or emotional times, it blends beautifully with lavender, neroli, jasmine, chamomile and other citrus oils in a diffuser, burner, bath or massage blend. Amour Natural sources and bottles it with nothing else added.
Available in 10ml / 50ml / 100ml

FAQs
Is this bergamot oil safe to use on skin?
Because it is FCF (furocoumarin-free), it carries a lower risk of photosensitivity than standard bergamot oil, but it should still be diluted in a carrier oil and patch tested first.
What does FCF mean?
FCF stands for furocoumarin-free - the light-reactive compounds have been removed through fractionation, making the oil less likely to react with sunlight on skin.
Is this oil suitable for a diffuser?
Yes - a few drops in an oil burner or diffuser give a fresh, uplifting citrus scent through the room.
What's the difference between the 10ml, 50ml and 100ml bottles?
Nothing but the pack size - all three contain exactly the same 100% pure Bergamot FCF essential oil, so choose based on how often you use it.
Can I use bergamot essential oil during pregnancy?
Consult your practitioner before use if you are pregnant or have a medical condition.
