Bergamot Oil Citrus bergamia
Bergamot essential oil has a calming yet uplifting aroma and is packed full of cleansing properties. Sweet yet bitter in taste, soothing yet joyful in scent, and delicate yet strong in nature, Bergamot oil is a delightful contradiction in the citrus world.
Description

However, Bergamot oil contains unique skin soothing properties and has a rejuvenating aroma that makes it especially beneficial in aromatherapy.
