Bergamot Oil Bergapten-free
Citrus bergamia
Bergapten is a natural substance that occurs in cold-pressed bergamot oil. This substance belongs to the so-called furanocoumarins, which can cause damage on contact with skin and light due to their phototoxic effect. In order to solve this problem, new methods have been developed for the production of bergamot oil bergapten-free. This oil is mainly used in the perfume and cosmetics industry.
