Bergamot FCF Essential Oil is a light green-yellow liquid with a fresh, sweet fruity slightly spicy balsamic undertone.
Bergamot FCF is steam distilled from the peel and is uplifting and cheering. Bergamot FCF is digestive and invigorating and can be used to help prevent apathy.
A fifteen-foot tree with long green leaves and white flowers. The fruit is pear-shaped but pitted like small oranges and the tree looks very similar to an orange tree. The Bergamot tree is the most delicate of all citrus plants demanding a special climate and soil. Very different chemically from the other expressed essential oils from this family, it is rich in esters and alcohols.
Bergamot FCF, Natural Pure Essential Oil - Available in 10ml, 25ml, 50ml & 100ml.
FCF Bergamot essential oil is simply steam-distilled oil of Bergamot, so instead of being expressed directly from the peel, the peel is put through the distillation process. In distillation, the coumarins do not distil into the resultant oil so it becomes furocoumarin-free (FCF).
