The initial gelee texture of this Gel2Oil formula quickly turns to a moisturizing liquid without a sticky or greasy after-feel. This transformational formula is 99% natural*.

This formulation features Hydagen 558P which is an algae-based, natural rheology modifier that also provides an enhanced feel on the skin, making it suitable for skin care products. Cetiol® C 5is a naturally-based, light, and fast-spreading emollient for skin care. This ingredient is 100% natural and is an excellent substitution  for silicones in personal care applications.
