Botanical Name: Bergamot Citrus bergamia
Plant Part: Peel
Country of Origin: Italy
Method of Extraction: Cold pressed
Bergamot’s aroma is uplifting, spicy, sweet; 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. This oil may be used as an inhalation for respiratory tract infections such as tonsilitis and bronchitis. Combined with tea tree it has been 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.
Bergamot is a photosensitizer (increases the skin reaction to sunlight and makes it more likely to burn) and the photosensitizing effect can last for several days.
We offer regular Bergamot and Bergaptene-free Bergamot; the latter should be considered when the oil will be used for skin application. Since soap lather only remains on the skin for a few seconds, regular Bergamot could be used in soaps. Blends well with chamomile, lavender, neroli and rosemary. Flash point: 136.4F.

I use bergamot for perfumery. It is very soft and slightly sweet. For me, this bergamot has a little hint of rusticity that makes it untamed, though it is sophisticated at the same time. There’s a nice harmony between the sweet side, that is not too sugary, and the citrus/citric side that is present, but not overpowering. In addition to that, there’s a very subtle green accord that appears behind at times. This bergamot has a harmonious, delicate and beautiful scent. A young kind and charming demoiselle.

Bergamot has always been one of my very favorite essential oils. This particular one exceeded my expectations! It has a wonderful fresh, citrus scent. I love blending it with lavender, patchouli, and Ylang Ylang. I will be reordering from Camden-Grey!

I used this for aromatherapy soy candles. A great scent, light citrus, not at all woodsy. My only regret for my first order of this essential oil, I only purchased 1/2 ounce

I use this primarily for aromatherapy and CP soap-making. The scent is citrus-y without being overly sweet. Very nice.

I too use this for aromatherapy purposes, but I also like it in scent blends for my cp soap! It's one I love to smell out of the bottle.

I use this oil (topically) primarily for its antispasmodic qualities. Combined with lavender, it does a wonderful job of helping me relax and let go at the end of the day.

I LOVE this EO. I use it primarily for CP soaping, but it is an excellent scent for aromatherapy, massage, homemade cleaners, & creams. Everyone always wants to know what smell that is they can't put their finger on. I always think of trees, oranges, and spices when I smell it. If you have never tried it, get some now!

Bergamot is one of my favorites for use in Aromatherapy. The sweet scent is not overpowering, yet it works wonders. I have had many compliments on products I have used this EO in.
Thanks for browsing thru this section which contains answers to many questions that are often asked of us. Here we explain where to locate CofA and SDS for a product, how we dispense and package our products, how products should be stored, basic terminology and the wait time for bulk products to ship from our warehouse. FYI: We're closed on Fridays.
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. In this same section where you're at now, look to the tab to the left titled Documents, click on it and that's where you'll find either document for the product you seek. 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. Should a vendor inform us the ordered product will take longer than what’s mentioned on our website we’ll email the customer with the latest information.
TERMINOLOGY:

30+ lbs. of carrier oils, other liquids, soft butters, Castile gel and other products are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles & pouring spouts in the lid; those products may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. After Covid, we reserve the right to use any packaging/dispensing container available to us and not mentioned above because it continues to be difficult many times to restock the same packaging container or material used in the past.
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.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames. Keep all liquids and powders you purchase from Camden-Grey tightly capped and away from the reach of children, the elderly or infirm and pets. Refrigerating butters could adversely affect the consistency of the butter, please join our Forum if you need to learn how to handle, work with and store products.
