Overview:

No bergaptene means you’re free to lather up and have as much fun in the sun as you please! Bergaptene is the chemical in bergamot oil which produces phototoxicity, and it has been eliminated from this product.

Bergamot oil is definitely a favorite among the Frankie and Myrrh staff. Not that working here is stressful, but bergamot oil is widely used to relieve stress and anxiety. In fact, it is often used in hospitals prior to surgery to relieve patients’ anxiety. This citrusy, fruity smell is sure to delight anyone looking to kickstart their spirits and alleviate any less-than-desirable feelings.

If you’ve ever enjoyed earl grey tea, you already know that the bright citrus notes of bergamot complete the tea experience. It is also used in the perfume industry as the all-important top note, as well as in the pest repellent industry, as a pest repellent.

 A  study published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, proved bergamot essential oil's amazing antifungal properties when used as a topical remedy for infections brought by candida fungus strains. That’s a lesson of comic book proportions. With great power comes great responsibility.
