Get to Know
PRODUCT BACKGROUND
Bergamot is cultivated primarily in the southern coast of Italy and has been used in the Middle East for hundreds of years as a flavoring, perfume, and addition to moisturizers and cosmetics. An orange-shaped citrus fruit the color of a lime, bergamot has a sharp, sweet, earthy scent profile and includes the naturally occurring constituents limonene, linalool, and beta-pinene. Bergamot oil is obtained by cold pressing the bumpy, green rind of the fruit. It is an important ingredient in many Young Living products, including Dragon Time™ Bath & Shower Gel and Progessence Plus™ serum. Bergamot can cause photosensitivity and should be avoided before going into direct sunlight.
