Purpose:Bio-Oil is a specialist skincare treatment that helps reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone and ageing skin
Ingredients:Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Chamomile extract, Calendula, Lavender and RosemaryGeneral:Bio-Oil is a specialist skincare oil for the face and body, specifically formulated to help reduce 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.
Launched by Union-Swiss in 1987, Bio-Oil is the result of two decades of research into oil-based vitamin-enriched skincare. The research focused primarily on solving the following problem: while oils provide the optimal storage environment for vitamins and other active ingredients, they are generally thick and sticky in nature and, as such, do not absorb well. The result is that the active ingredients largely remain in the oily residue on the skin surface and do not penetrate to where they are required.
Bio-Oil successfully overcame this problem through the inclusion of the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil™. PurCellin Oil™ dramatically improves the consistency of the mix, making the oil light and non-greasy, thereby ensuring the most effective absorption of the key beneficial ingredients.
Bio-Oil contains Vitamin A and Vitamin E, Calendula, Lavender and Rosemary oils, and Chamomile extract. Bio-Oil contains no preservatives and is suitable for all ages and skin types.
Bio-Oil is a "dry" oil which is non-greasy and non-staining.
What Bio-Oil is Used ForScarsBio-Oil helps to reduce the appearance of all scars (both new and old) by improving the condition of skin with scar tissue. Bio-Oil helps alleviate the discomfort frequently associated with scars, such as tightness and itchiness, as well as relieving the dryness.
