NEW YORK — Union Swiss (Pty) Ltd, the owner of the Bio-Oil brand, announced that it has entered into an agreement with Kao USA Inc., where Kao will be its exclusive distributor in the U.S.

“We are incredibly proud to bring Bio-Oil to the Kao USA Inc. family,” says Kenny Robinson, vice president, international marketing and sales at Kao USA. “As a global leader in the scar and stretch mark category, the Bio-Oil brand has so much value in the market place and we are excited to take the brand to the next level in the U.S. We are looking forward to seeing the brand grow in 2019 and are thrilled to be able to expand the brand’s knowledge of skincare with even more consumers.”

Bio-Oil is a one-of-a-kind, dermatologist recommended skincare oil formulated to help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. Its unique formulation, which contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil, is also highly effective for aging and dehydrated skin.  Inspired by the preen gland oil of ducks, PurCellin Oil serves as the delivery system, ensuring that the goodness contained in the vitamins and plant extracts contained in the formulation is easily absorbed. This proprietary ingredient gives Bio-Oil a light, non-greasy texture and ensures maximum efficacy of the ingredients.
