What is Bio-Oil Skincare Oil (Natural)?
Bio-Oil Skincare Oil (Natural) is a 100% natural specialist oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, ageing skin and dehydrated skin. It is a light, fast-absorbing blend of plant oils and botanical extracts made for use on both the face and body.
This is the natural-formula member of the Bio-Oil family. While Bio-Oil Skincare Oil (Original) uses the brand’s PurCellin Oil base, the Natural version uses a 100% natural oil system. Rather than relying on a single oil, it combines several plant oils to condition and moisturise the skin.
Bio-Oil is a globally recognised skincare brand manufactured by Union Swiss. The Natural formula provides an established option for customers who prefer a plant-based oil for everyday face and body care.
What kind of skincare oil is Bio-Oil Natural?
Bio-Oil Skincare Oil (Natural) is a topical cosmetic skincare oil, not a supplement or medicine. According to the manufacturer, it is made from natural plant oils and botanical extracts, including sunflower, jojoba and rosehip oils, with vitamin E included as a natural antioxidant.
Bio-Oil states that the formula is ISO 16128 certified as containing 100% natural content and 100% natural-origin content. The manufacturer also describes it as vegan, free from animal-derived ingredients, not tested on animals, and certified Halaal and Kosher.
Because the formula contains natural oils, its colour, aroma and consistency may vary slightly between batches. This is normal and does not necessarily indicate a product fault.
This is a cosmetic skincare product, not a medicine. It is intended for topical cosmetic use and is not designed to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or medical condition.
What is the difference between Bio-Oil Original and Bio-Oil Natural?
Both Bio-Oil Skincare Oil (Original) and Bio-Oil Skincare Oil (Natural) help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, ageing skin and dehydrated skin. The main difference is the base: the Original uses the brand’s PurCellin Oil system, while the Natural version uses a 100% natural plant-oil blend that the manufacturer states is ISO 16128 certified.
| Point of difference | Bio-Oil Original | Bio-Oil Natural |
|---|---|---|
| Base formula | Brand’s PurCellin Oil system | 100% natural plant-oil blend |
| Natural certification | Not marketed as a 100% natural oil | Manufacturer states ISO 16128 certified with 100% natural content |
| Helps improve the appearance of | Scars, stretch marks, uneven tone, ageing and dehydrated skin | The same five skin concerns |
| Feel on the skin | Light, fast-absorbing and non-greasy | Light, fast-absorbing and non-greasy |
| Best suited to | Shoppers who prefer the classic Bio-Oil formula | Shoppers who specifically prefer a fully natural, vegan oil |
Which should you choose? Choose Bio-Oil Skincare Oil (Original) if you prefer the long-established signature formula. Choose Bio-Oil Skincare Oil (Natural) if a 100% natural, vegan oil matters most to you. Both are massaged into the skin twice daily for at least three months and are intended to work on the appearance of the skin only.
Both products are cosmetic skincare oils, not medicines. They are intended to improve the appearance of the skin and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Results vary between individuals.
How does Bio-Oil Natural work on the skin?
Bio-Oil Skincare Oil (Natural) works as a conditioning and moisturising oil. When massaged into the skin regularly, its blend of plant oils helps soften the skin’s surface, reduce moisture loss and gradually improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven tone and dryness.
The formula is designed to absorb quickly without leaving an excessively greasy feel. Vitamin E and antioxidant-rich botanical oils help condition the skin, while jojoba, sunflower and other seed oils help maintain softness and suppleness.
The manufacturer reports that dermatological studies of the Natural formula recorded improvements in the appearance of scars and stretch marks over eight weeks of twice-daily use. Studies concerning uneven skin tone and ageing skin were conducted over 16 weeks.
These study statements are reported by the manufacturer and concern cosmetic changes in the appearance of the skin only. Individual results may vary.
