🧴 What is Bio‑Oil?

Bio‑Oil is a lightweight, multi-use skincare oil formulated to help improve the appearance of:

• Scars (new & old),

• Stretch marks (prevention & reduction),

• Uneven tone, dehydrated or aging skin 

It contains vitamins A (retinyl palmitate) and E (tocopheryl acetate), along with plant extracts like calendula, lavender, rosemary, and chamomile—encapsulated in its signature PurCellin Oil base, which ensures quick absorption and a non-greasy feel 

SkinSAFE notes it’s 91% free from top allergens, and is gluten-free, paraben-free, lanolin-free, and free of common preservatives 

✅ Benefits & Clinically Backed Uses

• Scar & stretch mark therapy: Dermatologist-recommended; massage twice daily for at least 3 months—especially during pregnancy—to see visible improvements 

• Moisturizer & skin reconstructor: Locks in hydration without clogging pores; prevents dryness, calms redness, and can be used as a serum, bath additive, makeup remover, and even for softening cuticles and taming split ends 

• Facial usage caveat: Effective for moisturizing and tone, but may clog pores; patch test recommended, especially if acne-prone .

⚠️ Pregnancy & Safety Notes

While popular for preventing stretch marks, Bio‑Oil contains retinyl palmitate (vitamin A derivative) and rosemary oil, which some experts caution could be problematic in large amounts during pregnancy. The FDA considers topical retinoids as category C—use only under medical advice 

🧾 Ingredients Highlight

• Core actives: Mineral oil (moisturizing), vitamins A & E

• Natural extracts: Calendula (soothing), chamomile (anti-inflammatory), lavender & rosemary (conditioning) 

• Skin-sensitive free: No parabens, lanolin, preservatives, coconut, or nickel 

💡 Usage Tips

• Apply evenly with gentle circular massage twice daily on clean, dry skin—min. 3 months for results 

• For pregnancy: start early (first trimester), focusing on belly, hips, thighs, breasts.

• Facial application: use a small amount and monitor for congestion.

• Can double as bath oil, cuticle oil, hair serum, and makeup remover.
