Green Mandarin and Bergamot
Green Mandarin and Bergamot are uplifting citrus ingredients prized in British beauty for their fresh, zesty scent and gentle skin-loving properties. Extracted from the peel of unripe mandarins and the fragrant bergamot fruit, they bring a bright, energising note to cleansers, toners, moisturisers and haircare. Both are popular in UK formulations for their natural aroma and ability to refresh and revive the skin and senses.
How it works in skincare
