Bergamot

Citrus x bergamia

Bergamot essential oil is a bright citrus peel oil with important phototoxicity considerations. This public summary introduces Citrus x bergamia and explains why expressed peel oil, bergapten-free preparations, and topical exposure guidance matter. Bergamot can be beautiful in stress-support and uplifting blends, but safe use depends on preparation type, dilution, and sun or UV exposure. The full course profile covers chemistry, phototoxicity, and claim limits in more detail.

Public Summary

This page is designed as a visitor-friendly introduction, not a complete monograph. It avoids treatment promises and keeps safety, botanical identity, and realistic scope at the center.
