Safety Information

• For external use only

• Keep out of reach of children
• If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional
• Store in a cool, dry place

Breastfeeding and Bio-Oil Use

Bio-Oil can be safely used on the body during breastfeeding; however, it’s best to avoid applying the oil directly to the nipple area. This helps prevent unintentional ingestion by your baby during feeding. If you do apply Bio-Oil to any part of your chest, be sure to wipe the area thoroughly before nursing.

Use on Babies and Children

Bio-Oil is generally considered safe for use on children over the age of three. For younger children and infants, it’s best to consult your pediatrician before introducing any new skincare product. When applying to children’s skin, avoid sensitive areas such as around the eyes and mouth. Always perform a patch test prior to use to ensure there’s no irritation, and discontinue if any sensitivity occurs.

Using Bio-Oil in Sunlight

Bio-Oil can be safely applied if you plan to be out in the sun, as it won't make sunburn worse or increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. However, it's important to remember that Bio-Oil itself does not contain any sunscreen and will not protect your skin from UV rays. Always follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher—brands like Neutrogena, La Roche-Posay, or Aveeno are excellent choices—to help shield your skin and keep it healthy.

Using Bio-Oil with Other Medications

If you are currently using any prescription or over-the-counter skincare medications (such as topical retinoids, steroid creams, or acne treatments), it’s best to speak with your doctor or pharmacist before adding Bio-Oil to your routine. While Bio-Oil is generally well-tolerated, checking for potential interactions ensures the safety and effectiveness of your overall regimen. If you have any concerns, consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Period After Opening (PAO)

Once opened, Bio-Oil Skincare Oil remains effective for up to 36 months. Be sure to store it properly and always check the packaging for the most current expiration and usage details.

Use During Radiotherapy or Chemotherapy

If you are currently receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy, it’s important to speak with your healthcare provider before adding Bio-Oil to your skincare routine. Your doctor can offer personalized advice based on your treatment plan and skin’s needs.

What to Do If Swallowed

If Bio-Oil is accidentally swallowed, mild symptoms like nausea or diarrhea may occur. If a child ingests any amount, seek medical advice promptly—even if they seem fine—just to be safe.

Packaging & Recycling

Concerned about your environmental footprint? Good news—Bio-Oil’s packaging is fully recyclable. The bottle, plug, cap, and even the carton can all go right into your household recycling bin. So, while you’re caring for your skin, you can care for the planet, too.
