Bergamot oil can cause burns when used on a sensitive skin which is then exposed to sunlight, as the high content of bergaptene can cause photo-toxicity. It is advisable to keep out of the sun if this oil is used on the skin. Even when the ingredient Bergaptene (Furocoumarin) is removed from the oil and phototoxicity is therefore minimized; it is still advisable to keep treated skin out of the sun and to use it in concentrations of less than 1 %.
