Sweet Citrus Aroma for a Relaxing, Uplifting & Refreshing Experience

Bergamot FCF Essential Oil is a furocoumarin-free form of Citrus bergamia essential oil, valued for its fresh, sweet and sophisticated citrus aroma. FCF stands for Furocoumarin-Free, referring to the removal of phototoxic furocoumarin components, including bergapten, through further processing. This makes FCF Bergamot a preferred option for many topical cosmetic and fragrance applications where reduced phototoxicity is desired. (ScienceDirect)
