This new raw material is an excellent natural thickener for oils and can convert every liquid oil into a solid product. dermofeel viscolid works with mineral oils and vegetable oils that can be mixed with essential oils too. The solidifying properties of this 100% natural raw material make it possible to increase the viscosity of W/O emulsions without increasing the body or sensorial profile of the formulation. However, the main application may be the production of Spa-products. The viscosity of massage products can easily be increased with the help of dermofeel viscolid but on the skin the jellified oil recovers its original liquid and oily skin feel. Thus upon melting on the skin it does not change the skin feel of the massage-oil.
