This is a post I did recently for a website I work for about the benefits of Saaf body oil over everyone's favourite scar reducer, Bio-oil!
If you’re a fan of Bio-Oil, take note – there’s now a healthier, better, more natural alternative! Bio-oil has come under fire recently for not being as natural as it claims; it includes ingredients such as mineral oil and paraffin (which are both bi-products of petroleum), it contains BHT (a synthetic antioxidant to help preserve the product), and Bio-oil also adds dye to make their product the visible orange shade you see from every bottle. These products are not only bad for the environment but can cause skin problems for sensitive skin sufferers. Despite doing the job, it also includes unnecessary products that can do more harm than good. Saaf Eraser Body Oil not only fades scars and stretch marks, but also uses highly active, yet totally natural & pure organic ingredients. Known as ‘Nature’s correction fluid in a bottle’, Saaf is proud to be one of the most certified skin & bodycare ranges in the country.
Saaf Eraser Body Oil includes ingredients such as Rosehip Seed Oil, which is known to reduce pigmentation and the appearance of raised scar tissue, along with Safflower Oil which soothes skin irritations while increasing the moisture content of the skin. Eraser Body Oil also calms irritated, itchy skin, promotes healthy skin renewal, protects the skin from the effects of a sun tan, and keeps skin supple and smooth.
And there are absolutely no added perfumes or colourings – Saaf is bright orange this year due to the Rosehip harvest being much more potent than usual! And the fresh citrus smell comes from the Mandarin essential oil – a naturally derived fragrance. It contains no parabens, mineral oils, artificial colours, or artificial preservatives - just three wholly natural ingredients blended together to produce a product that works. It also comes with the guarantee of being soil association organic certified and cruelty free – and suitable for Vegetarians, Vegans and Halal!
Saaf Eraser Oil has won awards for ‘Green Parent Award’, ‘Free From Skincare’ Award and ‘Natural Health 2016 Best Ethical Brand’. Find it on www.naturallybetteryou.com!
