Best Maternity Skincare Product, Loved by Parents Awards, UK, 2012

Bio_Oil is a specialist skincare oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. Bio-Oil's unique combination of ingredients are highly effective for ageing skin and provide significant relief from the discomfort associated with dry, itchy and flaky skin. Bio_Oil has won 85 skincare awards and has become the No.1 selling scar and stretch mark product in 11 countries since its global launch in 2002.

“Being an oil, it’s more moisturising than some creams and lotions, plus it works wonders when applied after bathing or showering.”

Formulation

The Bio_Oil formulation is a combination of plant extracts and vitamins suspended in an oil base. It contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil™, which changes the formulation’s overall consistency, making it light and non-greasy. This ensures that the goodness contained in the vitamins and plant extracts is easily absorbed.

Bio_Oil has undergone safety assessments in accordance with the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on Cosmetic Products. The toxicological profile, chemical structure, level of inclusion and total level of daily exposure of each ingredient used has been assessed and deemed safe for use (including for use by pregnant women).

Bio_Oil is a member of Beauty Without Cruelty International.
