Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Q: What does the acronym "BF" in the name of this essential oil mean?
A: "BF" stands for Bergapten-Free. Bergapten is a furocoumarin naturally present in the peel of citrus fruits, responsible for severe photosensitization of the skin. Through the controlled elimination of this molecule via distillation, the oil becomes safe for use in cosmetic products applied during the day.
Q: Can I add bergamot BF essential oil directly into my commercial cream?
A: It is not recommended to add pure essential oils directly into ready-made commercial cosmetics, as they can destabilize the formula. It is recommended to use it in neutral bases or in recipes made entirely DIY from scratch.
Q: What is the olfactory difference between standard bergamot oil and the BF one?
A: The olfactory difference is extremely subtle and almost imperceptible. The BF variant keeps its complex, effervescent citric profile fully intact, along with those superb floral and green sub-notes that make bergamot so loved in perfumery.
