How Bergamot Essential Oil Is Made

Bergamot essential oil is traditionally produced by soaking the rind of the fruit in water, then pressing the rind and collecting the excreted oil when it separates from the water.^[3] Today, however, a more efficient process involves using a machine to prick the rind and then separate the oil using centrifugal force.

Why Puracy Uses Bergamot Essential Oil

We use bergamot essential oil in several of our products as a fragrance. It is a better alternative to synthetic perfumes and phthalates.

Is Bergamot Essential Oil Safe?

The ingredient has been used as an antimicrobial agent to facilitate wound healing, and studies show it is also generally not irritating or sensitizing to the skin.^[1,4]
