⚠️ Safety Considerations

Phototoxicity: Standard bergamot essential oil contains bergapten, which can make skin highly sensitive to sunlight and UV exposure. Avoid applying to skin before sun exposure.

Safe alternative: Look for “bergapten-free” or FCF (furanocoumarin-free) bergamot oil if you plan to use it in skincare.

Dilution: Always dilute with a carrier oil (like jojoba or almond oil) before applying to skin.

Avoid ingestion unless under guidance from a qualified professional.
