Bio Oil is a specialist skincare product, that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. Its advanced formulation, which contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil, also makes it highly effective for numerous other skin concerns, including aging skin and dehydrated skin. Bio Oil is now one of the top selling products for the prevention of scars and stretch marks in the UK.
PurCellin Oil is a laboratory recreation of the preen gland oil of ducks. During preening, a duck secretes oil from its preen gland and distributes it over its entire plumage in the familiar twisted-neck action that one often associates with Ducks. This oil creates a thin, non greasy layer on the surface of the feathers without which water would not pearl off and the bird would struggle to swim
Clinical Trials: In April 2002 Ayton Moon a UK based consultancy conducted an independent user trial on Bio Oil And 82% of the participants recorded an improvement in the appearance of their scars. In 2005 a 12 week clinical trial tested the effect of Bio Oil on stretch marks and 50% of the subjects showed an improvement in the appearance at 8 weeks.
