Bergamot

Bergamot oil is extracted from the bergamot orange and has a light citrus scent with floral undertones. In Early Grey tea, it is what gives it its distinctive fragrant and spicy taste. Commonly used in aromatherapy to elevate mood and relieve stress, it is also an antiseptic, antispasmodic, and analgesic, while also offering skin-healing benefits. Packed full of antioxidants, bergamot keeps free radicals at bay, which are one of the main culprits of premature aging of the skin. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, it is also a natural cleanser that unclogs pores and is particularly effective at balancing sebum levels in oily skin. Bergamot also contains healing properties, meaning it helps heal acne and scars and evens out pigmentation.
