Bergamot (Citrus Aurantium Bergamia) Essential Oil Definition: (Citrus bergamia, Monarda didyma)-considered an antiseptic and bacterial growth inhibitor. It is also considered good for oily and acne skin, and for seborrheic conditions. Sun exposure after applying pure bergamot oil or a compound with a high bergamot oil concentration to the skin may cause hyperpigmentation and a skin rash. When used in perfumes, its photosensitizing (sensitivity to light) properties are responsible for the hyperpigmentation seen behind the ear and on the neck area near the ear. The oil extracted from the rind of citrus amot is from the monarda plant of which there are several varieties. Products that Contain Bergamot (Citrus Aurantium Bergamia) Essential Oil: |
