The scent is fresh, fruity and floral, with a light spicy undertone. It is a classic top note in Eau de Cologne and the scent maker of Earl Grey tea. The Latin name is \u003cem\u003eCitrus Bergamia\u003c\/em\u003e, and the oil is extracted from the peel of the bergamot fruit, a green citrus fruit in the shape of a pear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis oil naturally contains linalool, linalyl acetate, limonene and bergapten.

In this process, the bergamot peels are mechanically compressed, causing the oil glands in the peel to burst and release the essential oil.

The oil naturally contains furocoumarins, a group of molecules that react with skin cells under the influence of UV light and can cause skin damage. This can lead to redness, irritation and hyperpigmentation. Pink grapefruit contains lower concentrations of furocoumarins than bergamot or lime, allowing a higher maximum dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the IFRA 51st Amendment (2023), the legal maximum in leave-on products on the skin is \u003cstrong\u003e4 percent\u003c\/strong\u003e. For a skincare product of 100 grams, that means a maximum of 4 grams pink grapefruit oil. For a 30 ml serum, that is approximately 1.2 grams.

Citrus oils naturally contain allergens such as limonene, linalool, citral and geraniol.

A working dosage of 1 percent gives you the space to use multiple oils in one recipe without exceeding those limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor products that you rinse off, such as soap, shower gel or shampoo, more generous maximums apply because the oil does not remain on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot recommended for use during pregnancy without consultation with an expert.

This special cactus grows in dry areas of Morocco, Tunisia and Mexico, and can survive extreme drought while still producing juicy, healthy fruits.

But the seeds contain only 5% oil. This means that approximately 1 million seeds, or 30 kilos of fruit, are needed to make 1 liter of prickly pear seed oil. The seeds are removed from the fruits, washed, dried and then cold-pressed. With cold-pressed oil, no heat above 30 degrees is used during pressing, which preserves all natural vitamins and fatty acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to this labor-intensive process, prickly pear seed oil is one of the most precious plant oils in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is Prickly Pear Seed Oil so special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrickly pear seed oil has the highest vitamin E content of all plant oils, with approximately 1000 mg tocopherols per kilo.
