Bio-Oil Marketed for Pregnant Women Contains Retinol Despite Health Risks

June 30, 2025 10:21 AM90

Bio-Oil is widely marketed as a product for pregnant women and stretch mark prevention. However, after purchasing it, I discovered that its ingredients include retinol. This is extremely concerning, as doctors strongly advise that pregnant women should avoid any skincare products containing retinol due to potential health risks.

I only realized this after reading more about the product ingredients, but by then it was too late to return it since I had already thrown away the box. My doctor specifically told me that I should not use this product at all during pregnancy.

How can a brand market and sell a product as safe for pregnant women when it contains an ingredient that is clearly not recommended during pregnancy? This is misleading and dangerous.

I urgently request clear information from the company about this issue. Consumers, especially expectant mothers, deserve complete transparency about what they are putting on their skin.
