Abstract:
1. A clear liquid gel composition for topical application to the skin, the composition comprising a polar oil, and a gellant system for the polar oil, the gellant system comprising a silica and a sugar fatty acid ester in a ratio of the silica to the sugar fatty acid ester in a range of from about 6:1 to about 1:5 and a long chain polymer having a molecular weight in a range of from about 400 to about 10,000 Daltons, a ratio of the silica to the long chain polymer being in the range of from about 1:2.5 to about 1:25, wherein particles of the silica are suspended and well-dispersed in the polar oil, the particles of silica associated with sugar rings of the sugar fatty acid ester serving as cross-linking centers, and alkyl groups of the sugar fatty acid ester entangled with the long chain polymer serving as spacers interconnecting the cross-linking centers so as to form a three-dimensional network having a crosslinking density sufficient to contain the polar oil.
