Bergamot Essential Oil: Benefits, Uses, and Blends

Calling all tea lovers! Famous for its soothing scent and spicy taste, Bergamot is what gives Earl Grey its trademark citrus flavor. At VINEVIDA we source our Bergamot Essential Oil straight from Italy, where the country’s temperate climate offers premier growing conditions. Looking for strong, fragrant Bergamot Oil at a competitive rate? Look no further. The Bergamot Essential Oil we offer at VINEVIDA stands out among other brands in terms of packaging, pricing, and—above all—quality.
Extracted from the zest of a citrus fruit named 'Citrus Bergamia,' Bergamot Oil is famous for its floral and citrusy aroma. The Bergamot fruit tree is native to Southeast Asia, though it is now prevalent around Europe. Bergamot has been used for centuries for its complex flavor profile, though recent trends reflect its increasing expansion into the health and beauty markets.

Bergamot Essential Oil Benefits: Component Breakdown

• Limonene: Limonene is derived from the peel of citrus fruits. One of the most common uses of limonene is as a solvent. It also has a strong citrus aroma, making it a common ingredient in many cosmetic fragrances. Research indicates limonene may have chemopreventive properties, though human trials are necessary to gain more concrete evidence.
• Linalool: Linalool occurs naturally in the essence of many different plants. Many hygiene products contain linalool, which makes sense as research shows it to possess antifungal properties. Linalool also appears on the US Environmental Protection Agency website as a natural pesticide. Additional studies indicate that linalool also has sedative properties, meaning it may be able to help lower stress levels and improve sleeping patterns. Linalool contributes a lot to the Bergamot Essential Oil benefits.
• Linalyl Acetate: Linalyl acetate is an acetate ester. It is derived from linalool and is both odorless and clear in color. You will commonly find this component in fragrances, soaps, and detergents.
• Gamma-Terpinene: Gamma-terpinene is classified as a monoterpene, and it boasts a strong, lemony scent. You will often see it in use as a fragrance enhancer or a common preservative. Gamma-Terpinene is one of those components on which Bergamot Essential Oil benefits are dependent.
• Sabinene: Research done on sabinene indicates it is a significantly effective anti-inflammatory agent.

Skin Products

Skincare is one of the most significant Bergamot Essential Oil uses. Studies show promising results in terms of using Bergamot Oil for both the skin and hair. It appears to be able to help reduce symptoms of psoriasis and increase collagen levels, though more human trials must reinforce these results. Regardless of Bergamot Essential Oil's benefits for the skin, there is no denying that the fragrant, floral aroma of this oil is a great addition to any beauty product. A few examples are:

• Bath Salts
• Lotions
• Moisturizers

Hair and Scalp Care

Certain studies indicate that Bergamot is capable of promoting hair growth. Additionally, anecdotal evidence indicates that using Bergamot Essential Oil for hair can help revive dull and lackluster locks. Massaging (diluted!) essential oils into the scalp helps to increase the blood flow, as well as achieve aromatherapeutic benefits. Add a few drops of Bergamot Essential Oil to your favorite heat-protectant before blow-drying to encourage smooth, straight hair. You can also combine it with your regular shampoo, or pour a small amount of diluted oil into your hand and massage it into the scalp with your fingertips.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is one of the most common one of Bergamot Essential Oil uses. Several clinical studies indicate that using Bergamot Essential Oil in Aromatherapy can help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. The same studies found that in addition, Bergamot was also able to lower heart rates and blood pressure, as well as provide pain relief. In addition to its potential health benefits, Bergamot’s delicious aroma makes it the perfect oil to use when undergoing Aromatherapy. There are many ways to achieve the benefits of Aromatherapy, but the most common are inhalation through diffusion and topical use.
Adding Bergamot to your regular lotions and potions is a great way to incorporate this versatile oil into your routine. Similarly, you can also add it to massage oil and rub it into aching muscles and joints to potentially ease pain and reduce tension. 

Perfumes

Bergamot is what is known as a top-note oil. This means its bright, uplifting scent is the first fragrance you will notice in a blend. It is found in many different perfumes, as it has a balanced aroma of both citrus and spice. Some of the more well-known examples are Tom Ford’s Soleil Blance, Acqua di Parma, and of course Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Callabria.

Soap Making

Essential oils are popular for their intense aromas as well as their potential benefits in terms of health and well-being. Bergamot Oil is one of many oils that offer both of these qualities in spades, making it the perfect addition to soaps. Here at VINEVIDA, we are careful to ensure all of Bergamot’s original properties remain intact during extraction. As previously mentioned, this makes VINEVIDA oils highly aromatic and of superior quality to those of our competitors.

What Blends Well with Bergamot Essential Oil?

Its beautiful floral scent makes Bergamot a great blending oil. Some particularly aromatic combinations include the addition of Jasmine Aabsolute Oil, Cedarwood, Grapefruit, Vetiver, or Sweet Orange. 

Precautions 

Even when using natural products it is important to proceed with caution. Only use Bergamot Oil externally, and only after properly diluting with a carrier oil. The most common carrier oils are Coconut, Jojoba, Rosehip, and Grapeseed Oil. Mix one liquid ounce (or 30mL) for every two to three drops of essential oil. If suffering from underlying conditions remember to talk with a medical professional first, to ensure there are no potential reactions. Keep away from pets and small children.
