Bio-Oil Skincare Oil Natural is a new twist on an old favourite. The 100 per cent natural formula has been created without fragrance, preservatives, phthalates and parabens. What it does contain, however, are specialist plant oils, extracts and vitamin-rich ingredients that have been carefully selected for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
For many Trial Team members, Bio-Oil was not only a product that they were familiar with, but one they were incredibly fond of and already frequenting in their routine. For some, their connection to Bio-Oil began as children, passed down as a beauty secret from their mothers. Feeling both nostalgic and connected to the original product, many questioned whether they would embrace a new all-natural version. But they needn’t have worried; upon trialling needs were met and expectations were exceeded. The formula was overwhelmingly reported to have worked towards fading stretch marks and scars within weeks, while nourishing chronically dry skin, leaving it smooth, supple and soft.
While an all-natural alternative was a ‘nice to have’ for some Trial Team members, for the new mums and pregnant ladies within the group, a natural alternative to one of their primary bodycare products was essential.
Among the long-term Bio-Oil fans and triallers favouring a natural routine, were those who had never tried Bio-Oil before. In fact, the brand name alone caused hesitation for those who historically associated oils with a greasy residue, heavy formula and a tendency to flare up sensitive skin. Much to their surprise, they found the Bio-Oil Natural formula to absorb almost instantly, with no trigger of irritation and leaving behind a finish that proved to be even lighter than their regular moisturiser. As for the transfer onto clothes or bed sheets? Non-existent.
Though some members hoped to see a glass bottle in the future, majority of Trial Team members were impressed with the new squeezable bottle, as it allowed them to reach every last drop of product.
Though Bio-Oil already comes with a strong reputation, the product continues to deliver skin hydrating, scar-fading and stretch mark-soothing results to back it up. As members couldn’t determine a concrete difference between the regular formula and its natural counterpart, they voiced their eagerness to continue using the natural version at the commencement of the trial.

“It did not disappoint! As a general use moisturiser on my dry skin – it sank into my skin fairly quickly, and it left it feeling supple and smooth, without oily residue. I applied it liberally to stretch marks around my torso, and noted improvements in colour and texture as well over the course of a few weeks. I love this, and would definitely recommend it.” – Shinysilverdragon, read more reviews here…
“Amazing! Overall the scent is pretty generic which is fine by me. For an oil I am applying to my body scent isn’t a big factor, but absorbency is, and my skin was left feeling hydrated, soft and renewed. Highly recommend to anyone looking to heal a scar.” – Belle07, read more reviews here…
“The Bio-Oil Skincare Oul (Natural) is made from 100% natural ingredients and is packed with vitamins to help the skin repair itself and stay hydrated. I used the product mainly of an evening – I found that after showering my skin just drank it up. The oil is quite runny but was very light and absorbed well to my tummy (stretch marks) and elbow (scar). This is the kind of product you use long term to repair and nourish the skin and I recommend it to anyone who has stretch marks or scarring.” – Missyme_p, read more reviews here…
“This oil absorbs really fast so you aren’t left feeling really oily. My skin is so much more hydrated and feeling really plump. It has a slight fragrant smell but really really shuttle, you can barely notice it. I am super happy with this oil.” – Mumofbeauty, read more reviews here…
It’s good to see a company trying to make improvements and updates to their products
Yes I love that too!
I’d love to try it out for my scars
Miss19, there are scar reduction products that are more effective than Bio-Oil. Check out silicone sheets and gels.
Thanks Lucy I need these
I can very very very highly recommend skin02 products. Bio oil is something I’m currently trialling and I’m enjoying it’s natural new formula.
I love Bio-oil. I think it fixes almost any skin issue.
Thank you for your reviews. I found them very useful. I haven’t tried this oil, but it sounds like it would really hydrate the skin without leaving it oily.
Yes the reviews sound like this is a good product. Also have not tried it yet.
What a great trial to have been involved in. Sounds amazing.
Not a fan of Bio-Oil but sounds like an interesting trial!
Will not try it. 40 bucks for only 200mL of body oil. Bit much for simple body oil.
Agree Yo. Not a fan of it.
I didn’t realise it was so expensive. That would put me off buying it.
I haven’t even tried the OG Bio-Oil.
The new formula sounds great!
I love Bio-Oil. I’d love to give this new formula a go once the price drops a little bit!
Oh so lucky! I love body oils.
I’m a big fan of Bio Oil and so happy to hear that they have made a Paraben and Fragrance free version.
its so good
I have the original Bio-Oil and enjoy using it with my body lotions, I wouldn’t mind giving this a go next.
I’ve tried the original Bio-Oil, but it wasn’t as effective as rosehip oil for me.
Rosehip is fab!
I was very much less than impressed with the original too, @Misfortune8 so haven’t bothered with any of the later products.
The new formula is a different ballgame and I like it so far (am trying it out) but I never was a fan of the old formula either. For me this new formula is a gamechanger.
@Trish_D the old one I gave up using as it was just too oily and stained a few of my clothes but honestly, the new natural one is so good. I have been using mine for about 4 1/2 weeks now and loving it.
Thanks so much to Beauty Heaven and the review team for sharing this insight about the product!
Grape seed oil works wonders too.
I have tried Bio Oil on my facial and it wasn’t effective
I love Bio-Oil but I haven’t tried the Natural formula.
I don’t have a high opinion of Bio Oil but it’s good that there is a more natural version. The product IMO does not justify the cost
I used to use it years ago on my face but never saw any real improvement while using it so stopped buying it.
This has certainly helped fade my scars and make the skin around them more flexible.
Yes I agree Bio-Oil is a Fantastic product especially for Stretch Marks, also can be used to help fade Scars as well.
I’ve used their ‘pink’ oil before and been happy with it. It’s good to hear this more natural alternative still has good results
I am enjoying using this new formula very much – being natural really makes me way more inclined.
I love bio oil
Oooh, keen to try this. I did previously use bio oil for stretchmarks and found the benefits negligible, so sounds like its time to give it another go.
Bio oil sounds really great! Have tried so many products, all were recommended but results were seriously disappointing. Will get this product and see if it works for me?
I bought this the other day to try, hoping it will work
Two weeks is much too short a time to expect any result with scars.
I always find that Oil is just that. It seems to make my skin very oily and I worry about my clothes
I used bio-oil years ago, but wasn’t a fan
I heard good things about bio oil. Lovely to see reviews.
It sounds like a great natural product.
I have lost weight and need to use Bio-Oil on my stretch marks
I have mixed emotions on bio oil .. its hydrating but it doesn’t reduce the scars appearance and i have to use it twice a day for 3 months to see result. Which is a really long time
I’ve been using Bio-Oil for over 20 years.
Always a great brand 🙂
I think I tried a sample of this once.
I’ve now tried Bio-Oil and found that it didn’t improve the appearance of a scar I have, but it was good for skin hydration.
Not sure if I’d try this, going by the other comments it’s quite expensive.
