Gels are made from water and a thickening agent. They are usually either clear or semi-opaque. A gel is used in products where it is desirable to have little or no fat. They are best mixed using a water-based medium. However, if a small amount of fat is required, vegetable oil may be added up to 5%. Gels are able to carry an essential oil content of up to a maximum of 5%. Too much of either of these ingredients can result in either ingredient spreading itself unevenly through the product (the thicker the Gel is the more vegetable or essential oil it will be able to carry). The thickening agent used in Gels can either be wholly synthetic, such as a polymer or wholly natural, such as a polysaccharide. Natural polysaccharides are extracted from plants or algae and are to be found in large quantities in the following:
