Oleogels are oils in a gel like consistency that contain high amounts of emollients and are virtually free of water which ensures bacteria cannot enter the product. Emollients are ingredients that provide a protective barrier to the skin to control natural trans-epidermal water loss, prevent dryness and improve the feel of your skin, making it smoother and softer – they are essential to battle barrier-disordered skin. Oleogels penetrate the skin easily & quickly, are water resistant, can carry active agents, smooth skin and aren’t greasy. They are also prepared without mineral oils, preservatives, perfumes, dyes, emulsifiers, amines and silicones.
