What is Bergamot Mint?

Bergamot mint, despite its name, is in no way related to the bergamot fruit; rather, it comes from a flowering perennial herb that is part of the Lamiaceae (mint) family. The essential oil, commonly found in many personal care products, is steam distilled from the leaves and stems of the Mentha citrata plant.
