Skincare OilBio-Oil Skincare Oil 200 ml (6.8 fl oz)

Botanical oils in a light oil base

Bio-Oil blends calendula, lavender, rosemary and chamomile oils with retinyl palmitate and tocopheryl acetate in a mix of mineral and plant oils. The manufacturer markets it for the appearance of scars and stretch marks, and also positions it as an everyday moisturiser for dry skin. It is massaged in until fully absorbed rather than left sitting on the surface.

A twice-daily habit rather than a quick fix

The directions call for use morning and evening over at least three months, so it suits people happy to build it into a regular routine. It is designed for use all over the body as well as on the face.

Bottle size and origin

The 200 ml bottle measures about 4.9 x 5.1 x 17.5 cm, and the listed country of origin is South Africa. The listing gives orange as the oil's colour, which comes from CI 26100.

How to use

Apply twice a day to the face or body, massaging in circular movements until the oil has fully absorbed. The manufacturer recommends continuing for at least three months.

Before you choose

This is a cosmetic skincare oil, and any change in the look of scars or stretch marks will vary from person to person. For external use only. Do not apply to broken skin and avoid contact with the eyes. Stop using it if irritation develops. The formula contains fragrance components such as linalool, limonene and coumarin, so check the list if you are sensitive. US-market product: packaging and label wording may differ from UK versions.
