Sustainability

Learn how HP Ingredients approaches responsible botanical sourcing, long-term supply relationships, and sustainable ingredient development from Calabria to finished formulation.

Rooted in Responsibility

Bergamonte® begins with authentic Citrus bergamia Risso grown in Calabria, Italy, where generations of growers have cultivated this distinctive citrus in the region best known for its production. HP Ingredients approaches sourcing with respect for that botanical heritage, emphasizing responsibly harvested raw material and long-term access to a consistent, authentic source.

That responsibility continues beyond the orchard. From botanical identification through extraction, standardization, and commercial supply, the goal is to preserve ingredient integrity while creating a reliable platform that product developers can confidently incorporate into finished formulations. Bergamonte® materials specifically describe the ingredient as sustainably harvested and standardized.

A Responsible Approach From Orchard to Ingredient

Tradition-Guided Harvesting

Bergamot fruit is grown and harvested in Calabria using traditional sustainable farming practices passed down through generations of local growers.

Purposeful Ingredient Development

Careful sourcing is followed by controlled processing and defined standardization, helping transform a seasonal botanical crop into a consistent ingredient suitable for research and commercial formulation.
