Bio-Oil Skincare Oil

Bio-Oil is one of the best-known skincare oils in the UK, formulated to help with the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, ageing skin and dehydrated skin. It combines natural plant oils with vitamins A and E in a lightweight, non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly, so it is easy to fit into a daily skincare routine. Scars and stretch marks are extremely common, and Bio-Oil has become a trusted choice for people who want to care for the appearance of their skin over time, whether that means a recent scar, a long-standing one, or changes brought on by pregnancy or weight fluctuation.

Key Benefits

• Helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone
• Suitable for ageing skin and dehydrated skin
• Can be used on the face, body and sensitive skin
• A popular choice during pregnancy to help keep skin feeling moisturised
• Fits easily into a daily skincare routine and can be used alongside other products

Recognised By Skin Health Professionals

Bio-Oil has undergone the Skin Health Alliance’s dermatological review process and holds their accreditation, given to brands that are independently assessed on the research behind their products. The formula has also picked up recognition from beauty publications over the years, including awards for classic body and health and wellbeing products.

Good To Know

• Dry oil formula, non-greasy and easy to apply
• Can be layered with other skincare products, but should not be mixed with them before application
• Does not contain a sun protection factor, so is best used alongside an effective sunscreen
• Store in a cool, dry place

Which Size Should I Choose?

Bio-Oil Specialist Skincare Oil comes in three sizes, each using the same formulation.

• 60ml – a good trial or travel-friendly option, or for use on a smaller, targeted area
• 125ml – a popular choice for regular, everyday use on the face and body
• 200ml – suited to longer-term use, such as the recommended minimum three-month application period, or sharing across the household

How To Use

Bio-Oil can be used on the face and body and is suitable for all skin types. For best results:

• Apply twice daily to the affected area
• Massage in using a circular motion until fully absorbed
• Use for a recommended minimum period of three months

If using Bio-Oil as part of a wider skincare routine, apply it to cleansed skin and allow two to three minutes for it to be absorbed before applying any other products. It should not be mixed with other products before application, and should be used alongside an effective sunscreen, since it does not contain an SPF.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Bio-Oil is suitable for use on the face and body and is designed to work for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is widely used by people looking to support the appearance of scars, whether from surgery, injury, burns, insect bites or previous chickenpox, once the wound has fully healed. It is also a popular choice during pregnancy, to help keep skin moisturised as it stretches, and for anyone looking to support the appearance of skin affected by uneven tone, ageing or dehydration. For external use only.

Ingredients

Bio-Oil combines vitamins A and E with a blend of natural plant oils, plus PurCellin Oil, an ingredient unique to the Bio-Oil formula that helps the other ingredients absorb into the skin and gives the product its light, non-greasy texture.

• Vitamin A – supports the skin’s elasticity, texture and tone
• Vitamin E – a widely used antioxidant that helps increase moisture in the skin’s outer layer, supporting a softer, smoother feel
• Calendula Oil – derived from marigold, used for its antioxidant properties
• Lavender Oil – included for its calming, soothing qualities
• Rosemary Oil – has mild antiseptic properties
• Chamomile Oil – known for a calming, soothing effect, particularly suited to sensitive skin

As with any product containing essential oils, these ingredients can occasionally trigger a reaction in people with sensitive skin or known allergies. Always check the full ingredients list on the packaging before use.

Safety Information

• For external use only
• Avoid contact with eyes
• Do not apply to broken or irritated skin
• Discontinue use if irritation occurs
• Keep out of reach of children
• Store in a cool, dry place
