Bergamot Essential Oil is great for creating a cozy vibe. With an aroma reminiscent of Earl grey tea, it’s instantly comforting and nurturing.

What is Bergamot Oil?

Bergamot Oil is cold-pressed from the rind of the bergamot fruit. It has a citrusy, warming, ever-so-slightly spiced scent that makes it a must-have for many households. It’s also a common ingredient in both men’s and women’s fragrances, which is why it may smell familiar to you, and perhaps even a little seductive.

How to use Bergamot Oil

You can use Bergamot Essential Oil in your diffuser or in your homemade body and beauty products.

Is Bergamot Oil safe for cats and dogs?

It’s best for you to consult your vet before bringing any new essential oils into your pet-friendly home. When diffusing essential oils around your pet, be sure to use small amounts and to monitor his or her reaction. Also make sure you turn off your diffuser when leaving your animal at home alone. After all, a happy pet makes for a happy home.
