Bergamot Oil is commonly used in cosmetics as top notes of perfumes. It also cleans the scalp and adds shine to hair due to its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. It is even used as flavouring in Earl Grey Tea.
Bergamot oil got its name from an Italian town, Bergamo, where it became famous, even though it is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia.
