Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil, also known as Bergamot Fruit Oil, is extracted from the peel of bergamot orange. It is commonly used in skincare products for its perfuming properties. However, it contains phototoxic compounds called furanocoumarins, which can cause skin irritation and sensitivity to sunlight. Furanocoumarin-free versions are becoming more prevalent in cosmetics.
