The bergamot tree doesn't like extremes. On the contrary, it enjoys a well-balanced environment and is consequently known as the most delicate citrus tree. The soil must be just right (not too dry, moist or chalky), and the weather must be temperate (not too hot, cold, or windy). If those conditions are met, the tree grows yellow-green fruits whose appearance and taste are a bit like an orange and a lime combined.

-Bergamot oil soothes the skin and scalp and helps balance sebum production while helping keep the skin clean.
-It makes the hair shine!
-Its unique scent profile makes it very versatile. It can complement and enhance sweet, floral, fruity, fresh, herbal, or warm perfumes just as well.
-When inhaled, its uplifting fragrance is often associated with a clear and refreshed feeling.

Since 2005, Lush has sourced bergamot oil from a family business in Reggio Calabria, southern Italy.
