Texturizing oleogels
Oleogels are natural oils that are thickened with particles or polymers, typically less than 10% solids at room temperatures. Though made of a mostly liquid fraction, they are semi-solid in character and are very useful for providing good film-forming and barrier protection properties together with medium spreadability on the skin.
