Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q1: Is Amphora Aromatics Organic Bergamot (FCF) Essential Oil safe to use before sun exposure?
A1: Yes. This is a furocoumarin-free (FCF) bergamot oil, meaning the bergapten responsible for photosensitivity has been removed. When properly diluted in a carrier oil, it is suitable for daytime skincare without the phototoxic risk of standard bergamot oil. As a precaution, still avoid applying it neat to areas of skin exposed to strong sunlight.

Q2: What does COSMOS Organic certification mean?
A2: COSMOS Organic is an internationally recognised standard certified by the Soil Association. It guarantees the bergamot is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers and processed to strict organic and environmental standards, making it ideal for organic skincare and natural cosmetics.

Q3: How do I use bergamot essential oil for aromatherapy?
A3: Add a few drops to a diffuser or vaporiser to freshen a room and create an uplifting, mood-balancing atmosphere. Its bright citrus aroma is renowned as a 'feel good' oil. For massage or skincare, dilute roughly 4-6 drops in 20ml of carrier oil before applying to the skin.

Q4: Where does this bergamot oil come from and how is it extracted?
A4: It is cold-pressed from the peel of Citrus aurantium bergamia fruit grown in Italy, then rectified to remove furocoumarins. The oil is imported directly from the UK (Amphora Aromatics).

Q5: Which oils does bergamot blend well with?
A5: Bergamot blends beautifully with other citrus, floral and woody oils such as lavender, geranium, frankincense and rosemary, making it a versatile base for personal blends, candles and soap making.
