Among tea lovers, Bergamot Oil is synonymous with Earl Gray. The popular tea derives its unique spicy, floral aroma from the rind of the Bergamot, a fragrant citrus fruit the size of an orange but the color of a lemon. It is believed that Columbus brought Bergamot from the Canary Islands to Italy, specifically to the city of Bergamo explaining how this delightful fruit got its name. Because of its powerful scent, Bergamot Oil is used in many perfumes, often as the top note.
Among its many benefits, Bergamot Oil is considered to have antiseptic properties and so is often used in creams and lotions to treat oily skin. At BIOTONE, we value Bergamot Oil for its aromatherapy properties. It's uplifting and helps to reduce stress and anxiety. In addition to our essential oil singe note offering, you'll find Bergamot Oil in our Herbal Select Body Therapy Massage Oil and Herbal Select Face Therapy Massage Lotion, Bliss and Renewal Aromatherapy Massage Lotions, and Muscle and Joint Therapeutic Massage Gel.
