Overview

A 1.7 ounce gel moisturizer from Bio-Oil built around vitamin E, sold in a tub and aimed at daily use on dry, sensitive or very dry skin. It's formulated cruelty-free, vegan, hypoallergenic and free of parabens and phthalates.

This is positioned for body care and daily dryness rather than a single problem area, and it comes in a tub rather than a pump or squeeze bottle, which changes how much product you scoop out per use. The floral scent is worth noting for anyone who associates the Bio-Oil name with the brand's original unscented oil, since formulas vary by product line. Vitamin E is the named ingredient carrying the moisturizing claim.

  • 1.7 oz gel moisturizer
  • Vitamin E as the key ingredient
  • Suited to dry, sensitive and very dry skin
  • Cruelty-free, vegan, hypoallergenic

Who it's for

Suits anyone with dry to very dry or sensitive skin who wants a daily gel moisturizer rather than an oil, and who doesn't mind a floral scent. Not the pick for anyone who wants an unscented option or a pump-dispensed product.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Vitamin E gel formula for dry and very dry skin
  • Hypoallergenic, paraben and phthalate free
  • Cruelty-free and vegan formulation
Cons
  • Tub packaging instead of a pump
  • Floral scent, no unscented option in this listing

Performance notes

Vitamin E is the ingredient doing the moisturizing work here, in a gel base rather than an oil, which tends to absorb faster and feel less greasy on skin. Being packaged in a tub means product is scooped out by hand rather than dispensed, which some users prefer for control and others find less hygienic than a pump. The hypoallergenic and paraben-free formulation targets sensitive skin specifically.
