Did You Know?
The Bergamot tree can grow up to four meters high, with star-shaped flowers, and smooth leaves, bearing citrus fruit resembling a cross between an orange and a grapefruit but in a pear-shape. The fruit ripens from green to yellow. The name Bergamot is derived from the city Bergamo in Lombardy where the oil was first sold.

Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Avoid contact with eyes; if this happens, rinse with vegetable oil. Do not use internally unless instructed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Bergamot essential oil has phototoxic properties; avoid sun exposure after topical use.
