FAQ - Questions & Answers

Q1: What does "Bergapten Free" mean and why is it important?
A: Bergapten (a furanocoumarin) is the compound in regular bergamot oil that causes photosensitivity. This bergapten-free version has it removed, so it is non-photosensitizing and safe to use on skin even during the daytime without the risk of UV-induced irritation.

Q2: What are the benefits of Florihana Bergamot Essential Oil?
A: Bergamot has a bright, uplifting citrus aroma that helps calm the mind, ease stress, anxiety and tension, and lift the mood. It is also valued in skincare for its cleansing, balancing and purifying properties, making it suitable for combination or oily skin.

Q3: What is the origin and composition of this oil?
A: It is cold-pressed from the fresh peel of Italian-cultivated bergamot (Citrus aurantium bergamia). It is 100% pure, natural and HEBBD certified (Botanically and Biochemically Defined), rich in monoterpenes (about 60%) and esters (about 26%).

Q4: Can this bergamot oil be used in a diffuser and on the skin?
A: Yes. It diffuses beautifully for a fresh, mood-lifting atmosphere. For skin use, dilute in a carrier oil first. Because it is bergapten free, it can be used in daytime leave-on products. Avoid contact with mucous membranes, eyes and ears.
