Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Water
Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Water
Aqueous distillate/hydrosol derived from bergamot fruit processing or steam distillation. In cosmetics it is mainly used as a fragrance component, botanical water, or mild skin-conditioning ingredient with a light citrus profile. Compared with bergamot essential oil, the water phase is typically much lower in volatile terpene content, but composition varies by supplier and batch, so sensitization potential is not zero.

Risks & Warnings
May cause irritation or sensitization in fragrance-reactive or very sensitive skin, especially if the distillate retains volatile citrus compounds. As a citrus-derived ingredient, it should be used cautiously in leave-on products for users with fragrance allergy, eczema, or highly reactive skin. Phototoxicity risk is generally far lower than bergamot essential oil, but cannot be assumed absent in all supplier materials.
