By structuring natural oils into solid, functional and stable forms, we provide solutions that are healthier, more sustainable and scientifically advanced

COSMETICS

At Olexir, we transform plant oils into new solid textures using the natural structuring power of proteins. Our oleogels create translucent, silky and stable formulations that redefine how oils perform in beauty care.

Why it matters

  • Luxurious feel – Non-greasy, fast-absorbing and silky smooth on skin.
  • Vegan & cruelty-free – 100% plant-based, no silicones, no mineral oils.
  • Moisturising & protective – Locks in hydration and enhances the performance of active ingredients.
  • Clean label stability – Stabilises sensitive plant oils (rich in PUFAs, antioxidants) against oxidation, prolonging shelf life naturally.
  • Future-ready platform – Carrier for a wide range of natural actives (e.g. vitamins, polyphenols), enabling next-generation cosmeceuticals.

FOOD

Olexir’s oleogelation platform structures polyunsaturated-rich oils into solid-like matrices using plant proteins. This enables healthier fat systems and mimic the functionality of saturated and hydrogenated fats — without compromising texture, stability or performance.

Why it matters

  • Nutritional upgrade – Replaces saturated and trans fats with PUFA-rich oils.
  • Oxidative stability – Helps improve stability of omega-rich oils, extending shelf life.
  • Textural control – Tunable firmness, spreadability and melting points for precise product design.
  • Process compatibility – Adaptable to standard food manufacturing equipment.
  • Clean-label & sustainable – 100% plant-derived proteins and oils; aligns with global health & sustainability goals.

To solve the problem for lactose-intolerant, health- and eco-conscious people, we offer O-mega cheese. This is the first tasty and healthy vegan cheese, rich in omega-3 fats. We use plant proteins to gently encapsulate flaxseed oil into the oleogel. It’s eco-friendly and packed with healthy fats and essential amino acids.

Future Applications –
Wellness & Health*

At Olexir, we see oleogels not only transforming beauty and food, but also opening opportunities in wellness and nutraceuticals. By structuring natural oils into stable, solid carriers, we can protect and deliver sensitive bioactive compounds.
