Makers Gonna Make: Bergamot

Bergamot is a citrus fruit from the tropical Citrus bergamia plant, which is commonly found in the Mediterranean, Italy, France, and other parts of Europe. The fruit is typically the size of an orange, yet is closer in color to a lime or lemon depending on ripeness.

Many people are familiar with Bergamot because it’s the fruit that gives Earl Grey tea its citrusy scent and distinct flavor. A highly fragrant fruit, Bergamot is also used to make essential oils (which can be used for perfumes, soaps, or oil diffusion) and can be used in a number of recipes. Bergamot flesh and its zest—which is tart, aromatic, acidic, and spicy—has been used as an ingredient in everything from cookies, custards, and marmalades to syrups, cocktails, and even pesto, mayonnaise, and other condiments.

All of our Room + Body Sprays are a mix of 4 simple ingredients: Spring water, witch hazel, non-GMO organic vegetable glycerin, and essential oils. Here’s how they’re made:

  1. Blend together a combination of witch hazel, spring water, and glycerin.
    2. Pour this blend into glass amber bottles, either 2oz. or 4oz.
    3. Mix with a combination of essential oils, depending on which scent is being made.
    4. Use a pipette to draw a measured amount of the essential oil blend and deposit into each individual bottle.
    5. Cap and seal each bottle with a spray top.
    6. Label the bottles.

Short, sweet, and simple! All of our ingredients are 100% natural, and since our Room + Body Spray is made in small batches, you always receive the freshest possible product. And not only are they easy to use (just shake and spray), but the bottles can be recycled or upcycled and reused!
