FluidityInstabilityNon-absorbability

Majority of cosmetics rely on fossil-derived or animal fats, while edible fats are packed with trans and saturated lipids.

Plant oils, rich in healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats, offer a sustainable bioactive alternative. However, fluidity and instability of oils drastically limit their applications in food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Tuneable consistency
serving your needs

We know how to employ hydrolysed plant proteins and turn liquid oils into stable oleogels – without the need for heating, toxic solvents, nickel or expensive cross-linkers and with as high as minimum 0% oil loading capacity.

We have unlocked the oleogelating capacity of proteins and introduced stability, firmness and a solid structure to liquid oils by protecting every tiny oil droplet from oxidation and UV.

Sustainability

Every Olexir oleogel is plant protein based. To amplify sustainability, we also offer an upcycled feedstock route that recovers proteins from industrial side streams.

Plant sources

Field-grown protein sources are used for our fully plant-based oleogels.

Side-streams to upcycle

Oilseed cakes and protein-rich by-products can be used by our technology.

Recovered proteins

Upcycled food/cosmetic grade protein concentrates are available for oleogelation.
