Organogels are semi-solid systems in which an organic liquid phase is immobilized by a three-dimensional network composed of low molecular weight or polymeric components. Recently, they have raised an increasing interest in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industry. Numerous cosmetic products based on organogels formulations are marketed. Many studies now focus on new applications of organogels and therefore, aim to develop novel systems of organogels and new generations of organogelators. In this review, methods of preparation and characterization of organogel will be described, as well as different classifications and current applications in the cosmetic field, more particularly in dermo-cosmetics.

Abstract
Organogels are semi-solid systems in which an organic liquid phase is immobilized by a three-dimensional network composed of low molecular weight or polymeric components. Recently, they have raised an increasing interest in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industry. Numerous cosmetic products based on organogels formulations are marketed. Many studies now focus on new applications of organogels and therefore, aim to develop novel systems of organogels and new generations of organogelators. In this review, methods of preparation and characterization of organogel will be described, as well as different classifications and current applications in the cosmetic field, more particularly in dermo-cosmetics.
