Because it is approved as a Food Additive (FA) by the FDA, food grade bergamot oil is readily available on the market. Please remember, these are not the same oils and are often adulterated (changed). One of the benefits of bergamot oil is that it is generally regarded as safe (GRAS). However, it is recommended to not use this oil on children less than 5 years of age. This oil can possibly result in skin irritation (dilution is recommended). Repeated use can result in extreme contact sensitization.
