A specialist skin treatment oil, Bio-Oil has been specifically formulated to:
- Support the skin during pregnancy and periods of rapid growth to help maximise skin elasticity and reduce the formation of stretch marks (striae)
- Help improve the appearance of scarring (new and old) and help maintain elasticity of scar tissue on joints and other high mobility areas
- Hydrate dry skin to improve skin comfort and appearance
- It is important to note that no treatment can completely eradicate scarring and striae, and it is vital to manage the patient’s expectation about what results they can expect to see when using any such treatment. There are a range of resources available to help you educate patients on the process their skin goes through as a result of scarring.
Ingredients
Bio-Oil has been formulated with a blend of essential plant oils and vitamins that are known to be beneficial to skin health and appearance. Bio-Oil also contains a unique ingredient called PurCellin Oil™, which lowers the viscosity of the formulation so that it can be easily absorbed into the skin, rather than acting superficially on the surface.
Vitamin A – helps improve the skin’s elasticity, texture and tone
Vitamin E – increases the moisture content of the epidermis, thereby making the skin softer, smoother and more supple
Calendula Oil – a natural antioxidant that has the ability to clarify and stimulate the growth of new skin cells
Lavender Oil – calming and soothing benefits
Rosemary Oil – helps to invigorate and has mild antiseptic capabilities and thus eases congestion, puffiness and swelling of the skin
Chamomile Oil – calms, soothes and is particularly beneficial for sensitive skin
Bio-Oil is hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin. It is not tested on animals.
