Increased viscosity oil compositions have been prepared which comprise an oil and an inorganic complexing agent and water, said complexing agent being insoluble in oil and forming a viscosity increasing complex with the oil, and water blended into the mixture to form an emulsion. The increased viscosity of the oil complex with the complexing agent provides when admixed with water for the formation of lotions and creams without the use of thickeners. |
