At French Bergamot, we only use ingredients that we trust and want you to trust.

Although we cannot call our base cream “organic” due to the cosmetic industry not being regulated in North America, we choose to only use ingredients and gentle preservatives which are approved by ECOCERT (arguably the most well-respected certification organization in the world) and that are organic when possible.

- A closer look at our ingredients -

Rose water (organic): Helps reduce the look of skin redness and fine lines, hydrates and protects the skin.

Jojoba oil (organic): Non-comedogenic oil that most closely resembles human’s sebum, rich in linoleic acid and vitamin E, well tolerated by all skin types (including extra-sensitive skin!).

Cetearyl alcohol: Coconut fatty alcohol, used to thicken and stabilize the texture of the cream, also acts as an emollient to helps soften the skin.

Glyceryl Stearate SE: Plant-based emulsifier, contributes to a creamy texture, also acts as an emollient to make skin soft and smooth.

Aloe Vera extract (organic): Our aloe vera extract is concentrated 200 times, it deeply hydrates the skin, has cooling properties and is known to alleviate dry and itchy skin.
