Please note: Bergamot is considered a dermal irritant - avoid application of known dermal irritant essential oils on any inflammatory or allergic skin condition; avoid undiluted application; avoid application on open or damaged skin; and dilute known dermal irritants with appropriate vegetable oil or other carrier. When using an essential oil you have never used before, perform a skin patch test.
Bergamot blends nicely with other essential oils such as geranium, cedarwood, lavender, palmarosa, Neroli, and Ylang Ylang to name a few. You can also add directly to any Essential products using the scenting guide below.
These are basic guidelines for scenting bulk bases with Essential Wholesale & Labs’ Essential Oil Blends. It is best to begin by scenting a small portion of the base with a low percentage of Essential Oil Blend and to increase until you reach your desired intensity of aroma.
Proper scenting requires some skill and discretion and over scenting can ruin a base. Shampoos and Gels in particular will liquefy if over scented and are virtually impossible to fix. Remember you can always add more, but you can’t remove the excess.
