As one of the most reliable and responsible distributors of pharmaceutical, surgical and diagnostic products in our country, we are always committed to proffer quality products to our consumers.” Bio-Oil is formulated with a blend of four essential plant oils (Calendula, Lavender, Rosemary and Chamomile) and Vitamins (A and E) that are known to be beneficial to skin health and appearance. It also contains the trademarked ingredient PurCellin Oil TM, to ensure absorption into the second layer of the skin, rather than superficially acting on the surface.
