Because of its limonene content, oxidation of bergamot oil should be avoided by storage in a dark, airtight container in refrigerator. The addition of an antioxidant to preparations containing it is recommended.
If pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have liver or kidney disfunction, consult your health care practioner before use. Avoid eyes, mucous membranes, and sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of children.
If applying an essential oil to your skin always perform a small patch test to an insensitive part of the body (If it is not already diluted, dilute with a carrier oil).
