A Few Words of Caution

• Bergamot oil must be protected from sunlight,
  because bergaptene, one of its components,
  becomes poisonous if exposed to sunlight. That is
  why the oil should always be stored in dark
  bottles in dark places. Exposure to sunlight
  should even be avoided after it is applied or
  rubbed onto the skin, at least until it absorbs
  into your skin.
