The 12th best selling beauty product on Amazon.com this week is Bio-Oil. Let’s look at the label.
Mineral Oil
Moisturizer and solvent/carrier for the other ingredients.
Triisononanoin
An ester that helps make the oil more spreadable.
Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Isopropyl Myristate
Two more another ester-emollients.
Retinyl Palmitate
Vitamin A derivative . Not as effective as retinol because it doesn’t convert well to retinoic acid.
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil
Yet another oil.
Tocopheryl Acetate
Vitamin E, may provide some antioxidant properties.
Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Flower Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract
These look good on the label but don’t provide significant benefit.
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil
Still another natural oil, not sure how much is actually in the formula given its place on this list.
BHT
An antioxidant that prevents the oils from turning rancid.
Fragrance
Makes everything smell good.
Bisabolol
An anti-inflammatory.
Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Amyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate, Citronellol, Coumarin, Eugenol, Farnesol, Gera
Fragrance allergens that must be listed by law.
