Ingredients for a Very Oily Feel in Lotion/Cream (Oil-Soluble)

To achieve a very oily feel on the skin when using a lotion or cream, you can incorporate oil-soluble ingredients known for their emollient and occlusive properties. The level of oiliness will depend on the concentration used in your formulation.

Here are some oil-soluble ingredients that can provide a heavy, oily feel:

• Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum): Available in various viscosities (light, medium, heavy). Heavier grades will provide a more significant oily feel and barrier on the skin. It is a classic emollient that adds softness and smoothness and is fully oil-soluble.
• Vegetable Vaseline (Olus Oil): This is a natural alternative with a creamy texture similar to traditional Vaseline. It provides a strong occlusive layer, resulting in a very oily and protective feel on the skin. It is 100% natural and mixes in the oil phase.
• LipidSoft™ Heavy (Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate): This emollient is specifically designed to add weight and a clear, substantial feel to the formula on the skin. It helps the coating adhere well and is mixed in the oil phase, dissolving in oil.

These ingredients are all oil-soluble and can be incorporated into the oil phase of your lotion or cream formulation to enhance the oily feel on the skin after application.
