What it is

Oleogel N is an ointment formulated with vegetable oils and urea to provide lipids to dry and atopic skin. It uses an ointment base free of water and includes natural phosphatidylcholine for improved penetration.

Key ingredients and their functions

• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride - emollient
• Squalane - moisturizer
• Jojoba Esters - skin conditioning

• Lecithin - penetration enhancer
• Oenothera Biennis Oil - contains gamma-linolenic acid
• Urea - humectant
• Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil - occlusive agent

How it works

Oleogel N seems to be designed to supply lipids to the skin, helping it maintain moisture and potentially improve its texture. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Squalane contribute to skin moisturization, creating a smooth appearance. Jojoba Esters and Butyrospermum Parkii Butter condition the skin, potentially softening its surface. Lecithin is believed to aid the penetration of these ingredients. Oenothera Biennis Oil is a source of gamma-linolenic acid, thought to support skin barrier function. Urea acts as a humectant, helping to maintain hydration. These components work together in an anhydrous base to assist in achieving moisturized and conditioned skin, while avoiding any claims of treating specific skin conditions.
