How does Bergamot Oil work?


Are there safety concerns?

Bergamot oil is safe for most people in the small amounts found in food. It might not be safe when used on the skin (topically), because it can make the skin sensitive to the sun and more vulnerable to skin cancer. People who work with bergamot can develop skin problems including blisters, scabs, pigment spots, rashes, sensitivity to the sun, and cancerous changes.


Do not use bergamot oil if:
  • You are pregnant or breast-feeding.
