Essential Oil – Bergamot for Jewelry with fragrance

What it’s good for

• Mood & stress: Bright-citrus with a soft floral note; commonly used to ease tension and lift mood. Small studies show inhalation can reduce markers of stress and support relaxation.

• Sleep blends: Calming yet not heavy—nice before bed with lavender or cedarwood.

• Skin care (diluted): Often used in nighttime serums for oily/blemish-prone skin (astringent, deodorizing aroma).

• Perfumery & home scenting: Signature top note in many colognes; cuts odors quickly.

• Cleaning: Freshens surfaces and bins; adds pleasant scent to DIY sprays.
  Flavor note: Bergamot flavors Earl Grey tea, but do not ingest essential oil unless guided by a qualified clinician.

How to use (safe starting points)

Diffuser (room use): 3–5 drops per 100 mL water; run 15–30 minutes, then pause.
Body/skin (diluted):

• Everyday body oil: 1% = 6 drops per 30 mL (1 oz) carrier oil.

• Perfume roller: 1–2% total EO in jojoba.

• Bath: Mix 3–5 drops into a tablespoon of carrier or unscented bath gel first (never drop neat into water).
  Home freshener spray (250 mL / 8 oz): 120 mL distilled water + 120 mL witch hazel or alcohol, 20–30 drops bergamot; shake before each use. (Avoid natural stone.)

Very important safety (phototoxicity)

• Expressed bergamot contains furocoumarins (notably bergapten) that can make skin extremely sun-sensitive.

  • If you apply it to skin, avoid UV exposure for at least 12–18 hours, or keep to very low dilutions.

• Look for “Bergamot FCF” (furocoumarin-free) for leave-on daytime products—this removes most phototoxic risk.

• Patch test; keep total leave-on dilution at 1–2% unless you’re experienced.

• General cautions: keep away from eyes; diffuse in ventilated rooms; allow pets to leave; use extra care during pregnancy or with sensitive skin.

Nice blend ideas

• Calm & Bright: Bergamot (4) + Lavender (3) + Cedarwood (2) — diffuser.

• Focus & Fresh: Bergamot (3) + Rosemary (2) + Peppermint (1) — diffuser for short bursts.

• Night Serum (FCF only, 30 mL): Jojoba base + Bergamot FCF 6–9 drops (1–1.5%) + 3 drops frankincense. Apply to clean skin at night.

Always dilute before skin use (except rare emergencies for minor burns).

Avoid eyes, inner ears, mucous membranes.

Check for allergies before first use.

Not for ingestion unless guided by a certified professional.

Not suitable for small children and pregnant women
