Description
Overview
Bio-Oil Skincare Oil is an orange-pink cosmetic oil for use on the face and body. Its base is mineral oil with triisononanoin, cetearyl ethylhexanoate and isopropyl myristate, blended with sunflower seed and soybean oils, calendula extract, chamomile, lavender and rosemary oils, bisabolol, vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) and vitamin E. It contains fragrance and the colorant Red 17.
Bio-Oil’s directions are to massage it into cleansed skin with circular motions until fully absorbed, twice a day, and to apply it after a shower or bath for all-over use. If you also use a moisturizer or sunscreen, apply it once the oil has absorbed. This listing is the 200 ml (6.7 fl oz) bottle, the largest of the four US sizes (25, 60, 125 and 200 ml).

- It gives no protection from UVA or UVB rays; use a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher in the sun.
- It contains fragrance and Red 17, and Bio-Oil lists 23 allergens from its plant oils and fragrance. If unsure, test a little on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours, and stop using it if a reaction occurs.
