Bergamot (bergaptene free) essential oil . Its aroma is uplifting, spicy, sweet scent; like orange and lemons with floral overtones......citrus spice with a high floral note. Inhaled, it relaxes the nervous system and acts as a digestive. Also used as an expectorant, gargle for a sore throat, inhaled for anxiety and depression, used for a variety of skin problems. It may be used as an inhalation for respiratory tract infections such as tonsilitis and bronchitis. It is a valuable antiseptic for the urinary tract and infections and inflammation such as cystitis.
Combined with tea tree it is used as a treatment for cold sores, chicken pox and shingles. Used in douches and sitz baths, bergamot oil has proved successful in gonococcal infections, leucorrhoea, vaginal prurities and urinary infections; add no more than 2-3 drops to some warm water. Its antiseptic properties make it ideal for treating wounds, herpes, acne and oily skin conditions. Bergamot imparts that unusual flavor to Earl Grey tea. It was and still is an important ingredient in the classic Eau de Cologne formula. Blends well with chamomile, lavender, neroli and rosemary.
Bergaptene-free Bergamot has had the chemical bergaptene removed which greatly reduces the risk of photosensitization when skin is exposed to the sun after use, but doesn't eliminate the issue 100%, use with caution when sun exposure is involved. This oil may be used in end products that will be used directly on the skin and which will remain on the skin for a long period of time. Flash point: 136F.

I just bought bergamot for the first time and I absolutely love it. I have a lot of different essential oils, but this is the only one that I have wanted to use alone as a perfume. It has the perfect balance of mostly citrus with a little floral. I also mixed it with lavender and orange for a very nice blend.

This essential oil works great for me. I have ordered several times. I love the clean scent. This works great in my soaps, bath bombs, as well as other preparations.

i have used this in a lot of my citrus blends and it rounds out the scent very nicely i am using it more than i thought i would

This Bergamot EO has just the right blend of citrus and floral notes to make it indispensable in a citrus blend.
I will definitely buy this one again.

I was initially worried being bergaptene free that there would be a difference in smell (because I love bergamot!) There is no difference! Very pleasing scent and I don't have to worry about phototoxicity!!!

I bought this oil in the 1 oz size just 6 months ago, but I've only use 75% of it because it has so many uses for me. I've used it to treat sore throats, respiratory infections, cold sores, and as part of a facial cleanser for my oily and acne prone skin. I will definitely reorder this when I run out!

I love this bergamot and one does not normally find non-sensitizing bergamot at such a low price. Perfect for the spring and summer perfume blends, when we don't want to be wearing photo-toxic oils on our skin!
Marita Orr (Poughkeepsie, NY, US) | February 18th, 2011
I felt this bergamot was sweet smelling. Much nicer than most I have used.
Mark Sage (New York, NY, US) | November 7th, 2010
I agree completely with the previous review. Really lovely product, excellent value as usual.
Alice Luxton (Portland, OR, US) | November 3rd, 2010
It may have lost some of its subtlety or some of the crispness of the scent along with the phototoxic components - as this has somewhat less complexity than I have experienced in ordinary bergamot oil. However, it retains a versatile and pleasant fragrance, the subtler 'heart' aspects of of citrus with somewhat less 'head'.

Certificate of Analysis (CofA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). We publish on our website those documents for most of our products, some products don't provide either because the product doesn't require it.

If you do not find the document you require, please email us at customerservice@camdengrey.com so we can research further.
BULK ITEMS: When a customer adds a bulk item to the cart, the customer’s immediately shown on the screen how many number of days should be allowed for the bulk product to arrive at our warehouse. If the bulk item happens to be in stock, we’ll ship sooner than the customer would expect. As we emerge from Covid, logistics operations are not yet back to normal, what used to arrive at our warehouse in 3 days now takes much longer.

NOTE: An EO may safely remain inside an aluminum container for up to 3 months, but if storing longer than 3 months the oil should be transferred to amber glass. Fragrances and carrier oils up to 8 lbs. may remain inside HDPE plastic bottles indefinitely. If the customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring a product to glass this should be done. ALL PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED BY WEIGHT, THUS, SOME CONTAINERS MAY BE FILLED HIGHER THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT AND VISCOSITY OF EACH PRODUCT.
Raw materials/ingredients are dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
