Oleogel plus is free of water and thus can be bottled free of preservatives. Oleogels are used for the care and protection of the extremely dry skin. Special fields of applications are: lip care, occupational skin protection (at the work place), eye contour care and supportive protection from endogenously caused skin lesions. Oleogel plus is also recommended for the perianal skin care. Oleogel plus is thixotropic which means that it liquefies when applied to the skin. As it is virtually free of water, its active caring agents are highly concentrated which means that only small amounts will be needed. If soft crystals occur in the product, they do not affect the quality.
