About this material
Bergamot essential oil is a fragrant oil extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia).
It has a fresh, citrusy, slightly floral aroma and is widely used in aromatherapy, perfumery, and skincare.
What is Bergamot FCF?
Bergamot essential oil naturally contains furocoumarins, which can make the skin sensitive to sunlight. Bergamot ‘FCF’ (Furocoumarin Free) is a version of the oil where these compounds are removed to prevent photosensitivity.
Furocoumarins, particularly Bergapten, are compounds found in Bergamot oil that can cause photosensitivity, making the skin more susceptible to sunburn when exposed to sunlight.
To mitigate this, Furocoumarins are removed from the oil, resulting in Bergamot FCF, which is safer for topical applications.
This Furocoumarin-free version retains the characteristic sweet, citrusy aroma of traditional bergamot oil and is commonly used in perfumery and aromatherapy.
By removing the photosensitizing components, Bergamot FCF allows for broader use in skincare and personal care products without the associated risks of sun exposure.
In summary, Bergamot FCF is a refined form of bergamot essential oil that offers the aromatic benefits of the original oil while minimising the risk of skin sensitivity to sunlight.
This material is supplied under the designation Bergamot Oil FCF. The documentation currently held does not specify numerical residual bergapten or total furocoumarin levels.

CAS numbers (comment): The scope of this Standard includes, but is not limited to the CAS number(s) indicated above; any other CAS number(s) used to identify this fragrance ingredient should be considered in scope as well.
Contributions from other sources: None to consider
Flavor use consideration: Due to the possible ingestion of small amounts of fragrance ingredients from their use in products in Categories 1 and 6, materials must not only comply with IFRA Standards but must also be recognized as safe as a flavoring ingredient as defined by the IOFI Code of Practice (www.iofi.org). For more details see chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards.
IFRA Standard type: RESTRICTION
Intrinsic property driving the risk management measure: PHOTOTOXICITY
Restricted ingredients due to phototoxicity considerations: notes: The Standard is set due to the phototoxic effects of Bergamot oil expressed. For more detailed information on the application of this Standard, please refer to the note on phototoxic ingredients in Chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards. If the level of furocoumarins is unknown, the restriction level specified in this IFRA Standard applies. Combination effects of phototoxic ingredients are only taken into consideration for the furocoumarin-containing fragrance ingredients (extracts) listed in the IFRA Standard of Citrus oils and other furocoumarins containing essential oils. If combinations of furocoumarin-containing phototoxic fragrance ingredients (extracts) are used, the use levels must be reduced accordingly. The sum of the concentrations of all furocoumarin-containing phototoxic fragrance ingredients (extracts), expressed in of their recommended upper concentration level in the consumer product shall not exceed 100. For qualities of the expressed oil in which the less volatile components have been concentrated by partial or total removal of the terpene fraction, this limit should be reduced in proportion to the degree of concentration.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.
A leafy cologne
With geranium and herbal notesSketch a citrus opening with a green or herbal counterpoint. Compare the leafy version with the citrus alone, noting whether the added direction suggests peel, garden freshness or an herbal character that changes the brief.
Citrus and grain
With a transparent wood directionExplore a spare citrus-and-wood structure, keeping the wood choice simple. Follow both the opening and later impression to see whether the composition keeps a clear outline as the bright citrus character changes through the evaluation.
Petal brightness
With rose and airy floral notesUse a familiar floral accord as the setting for a brighter citrus variation. Compare the flower with and without the citrus material, then decide whether to emphasise a fresh opening or a more continuous floral impression.
