Active Components & How They Work

Bergamot essential oil contains a range of powerful aromatic compounds:

• Limonene – Uplifting and cleansing; supports mood and skin health
• Linalyl Acetate – Calming and antispasmodic; reduces tension and anxiety
• Linalool – Soothing and antimicrobial; promotes skin healing

These constituents give Bergamot its unique ability to uplift the spirit, clarify the skin, and calm the body—while requiring mindful, safe topical use.
