Storage Recommendations:

Proper storage in a cool place is especially important for citrus essential oils:

Obtaining Citrus Essential Oil:

Citrus essential oils, including Bergamot Extra, are mainly obtained through the cold expression method. This process involves mechanically breaking the vesicles of the fruit peel to release the essential oil, without applying heat, which preserves the integrity of its aromatic and therapeutic components.

Aromatherapy Note:

“Bergamot Extra essential oil is one of the most widely used in perfumery, soaps, and cosmetics due to an ideal combination: its pleasant citrus aroma along with its beneficial properties for our skin, emotions, mind, energy, and overall health.”
