Bergamot Fruit Peel Oil

Bergaptene-free bergamot fruit peel oil is produced through a multi-step process. Initially, the oil is extracted from the bergamot fruit peel using cold pressing, a traditional method that captures the oil's natural fragrance. However, this process also retains bergaptene, a compound that can cause photosensitivity. To create the bergaptene-free version, the oil undergoes further refinement using an alkaline solution where the bergaptene molecule is altered or removed. This oil offers a range of potential skin benefits. Its anti-inflammatory properties can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness, while its antiseptic qualities help combat bacteria. This oil also acts as an astringent, helping to tighten pores and balance oil production. Additionally, it may contribute to a more even skin tone and potentially minimize the appearance of scars.
