Bio Oil Review
Product Details
The manufacturers of Bio Oil promote that the oil will reduce the appearance of old and new scars, stop stretch marks from forming due to pregnancy or from rapid weight gain as well as reduce the appearance of old stretch marks, improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, help to tone sagging aging skin by increasing the skins elasticity, hydrate and lubricate dry damaged skin, work as an intensive moisturizer as well as a bath oil and after sun soother.
There is no official website for Bio Oil however according to third party retail sites which carry the oil, the key ingredients are: Paraffinum Liquidum also known as Mineral Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia also known as Lavender Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil also known as Rosemary, Annuus Seed Oil commonly known as Sunflower Oil, Glycine Soja commonly known as Soybean Oil. Other ingredients included in the formula are Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Helianthus Triisononanoin, BHT, Bisabolol, Isopropyl Myristate and Fragrance.
A controversy remains surrounding the ingredient Paraffinum Liquidum, commonly known as Mineral Oil. Mineral Oil is used in many cosmetics as a filler; however the oil has not been proven to contain any anti-aging benefits. In fact, it has been shown to produce many unwanted side effects, including causing existing skin conditions such as eczema and acne to get worse. Dermatologists do not recommend the use of Mineral Oil due to the fact that it can clog the pores and aggravate the skin. Bio Oil does not contain any advanced anti-aging ingredients.
