Bergamot should never be used undiluted on the skin. Severe burning may result. Never apply bergamot to skin that will be exposed to the sun. Certain furocumarins (including bergaptene found in Bergamot) are photo toxic on human skin. This causes sensitivity and skin pigmentation when exposed to sunlight. Exercise caution when using bergamot in sunny weather. As previously mentioned, bergaptene-free (BF) oils are available as an alternative.
