In personal care

An extract made from the leaves of the bergamot orange tree (Citrus aurantium bergamia), distinct from bergamot peel oil, which is the part of the plant more commonly associated with fragrance use.

Why it’s used

Used as a conditioning agent and occasionally for fragrance, contributing a light citrus note and intended skin-feel benefits.

What the evidence says

We haven’t found a source for this one that you can open and check, so we’re not summarizing the evidence.

Look it up yourself

We would rather point you at the shelf than summarize something you can’t check. These are the same places we search:

  • PubChem — what the substance is, chemically — names, synonyms and structure
  • PubMed — every paper indexed by the US National Library of Medicine that names it

These are starting points, not our findings — we haven’t run them for you. A substance whose name is also an ordinary word (“Heart”, “Alanine”, “Water”) will return papers that are not about the ingredient at all.

Insufficient dataToo little has been studied to say either way.
