It is also the raw material where formulation most often runs into a limit: cold-pressed bergamot oil is phototoxic. Bergamot Givco 104\/5 is Givaudan's answer to that – the bergamot character without the substances that make it problematic in leave-on products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOdour character\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCitrus, fresh, sparkling (official description: \u003cem\u003ecitrus-like\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarried by linalyl acetate – the sweet, slightly floral facet of true bergamot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrange terpenes provide the sparkling peel freshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinalool forms the soft bridge into the heart of the composition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellow to dark yellow, liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a base instead of the oil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold-pressed bergamot oil contains \u003cstrong\u003ebergapten\u003c\/strong\u003e (5-methoxypsoralen) and other furocoumarins. These molecules react to UV light: on the skin and subsequently in the sun they can cause burns and lasting pigmentation. The threshold is around 10 ppm – depending on origin, cold-pressed bergamot oil contains bergapten in the order of several thousand ppm, several hundred times above that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IFRA restricted bergamot oil as early as \u003cstrong\u003e1974\u003c\/strong\u003e – one of the earliest restrictions the industry ever imposed on itself.
