AccessGEL LEOT

Amino-Acid Based Oil Gelling Agent for Stable Sticks & Clear Gels

INCI Name: Dibutyl Lauroyl Glutamide (and) Dibutyl Ethylhexanoyl Glutamide (and) Octyldodecanol

AccessGEL LEOT is a high-performance oil gelling agent that transforms liquid oils into solid sticks, crystal-clear gels, and stable balms. Based on amino-acid technology, it creates a structured network within the oil phase, delivering exceptional temperature stability and a smooth, non-waxy sensory profile—ideal for elegant anhydrous formats such as lip balms, deodorant sticks, and oil-based serums.

Perfect For These Applications

How to Use AccessGEL LEOT in Your Formulations

What AccessGEL LEOT Does

Imagine turning your favorite liquid oils—like jojoba or squalane—into solid, easy-to-apply sticks or crystal-clear, luxurious gels. That’s exactly what AccessGEL LEOT does. It’s a specialized gelling agent that thickens and solidifies the oil phase, enabling elegant, water-free products with unique textures and excellent stability.

For the technical-minded, AccessGEL LEOT is an amino-acid-based structurant. The gelling molecules self-assemble into a microscopic, fibrous network within the oil, creating a three-dimensional mesh that traps liquid oils to form solid or semi-solid textures. Compared to traditional waxes, this technology delivers superior clarity, a lighter, non-waxy skin feel, and exceptional thermal stability—so products like lipsticks or sunscreen sticks are less likely to soften in heat.

Formulation Tips

The key to success is complete dissolution. Add AccessGEL LEOT to your oil phase and heat to 90–110°C (194–230°F) while stirring until the mixture is fully clear. Pour hot into packaging and allow to cool undisturbed to set.

Usage directly controls texture: use 2–4% for soft, scoopable balms or thick oil gels; use 5–10% for firm, twist-up sticks. Final hardness and clarity also depend on oil polarity, so run small trials with your specific oil blend to fine-tune results.

Key Performance Benefits:

Creates Crystal-Clear Sticks and Gels: Enables transparent, visually striking anhydrous formats that waxes often can’t achieve.
Excellent Thermal Stability: Produces higher-melting systems that resist softening during transport or warm conditions.
Elegant, Non-Waxy Skin Feel: Leaves a smooth, cushioned finish without the heavy or greasy after-feel.
Versatile Texture Creation: Easily dial in from soft gels to rigid sticks by adjusting usage level.
Superior Pigment & Active Suspension: Fibrous network suspends pigments, glitters, and mineral UV filters to help prevent settling.
Amino-Acid Derived Technology: Based on L-Glutamic acid for a modern, high-performance approach to oil structuring.

Frequently Asked Questions About AccessGEL LEOT

It’s an oil gelling agent that turns liquid oils into solid sticks, soft balms, or thick gels—ideal for lip balm, deodorant sticks, solid moisturizers, and more, without relying on traditional waxes.

Use 2–4% for softer formats like thick serums or scoopable balms. For firm, twist-up sticks (e.g., lipstick or sunscreen sticks), use 5–10%.

Yes. Add it to the oil phase and heat to 90–110°C (194–230°F) until fully dissolved and clear. The gel network develops as the mixture cools.

Absolutely. It’s a modern alternative that enables clearer products, a less waxy/greasy feel, and better heat stability so sticks resist melting.

Anhydrous formats that need structure: lipsticks and balms, solid perfume, sunscreen sticks, deodorant sticks, and thick oil-based serums.

It works with a wide range of cosmetic oils, esters, and silicones. Oil polarity affects firmness and clarity, so run small tests with your specific blend to optimize texture.
