ABSTRACT

Bigels are systems that are often created by combining hydrogel with organogel. An organogelator is present in the organic phase, which contains a gelled vegetable oil, while a hydrophilic biopolymer often forms the aqueous phase. The amount of organogel added to the hydrogel was increased to create model bigels, and microstructural analysis showed that all of the samples under investigation exhibited an organogel-in-hydrogel behavior—although at the maximum organogel concentration, a more complicated structure appeared to emerge. There have also been reports of certain novel gels, like bigels and emulgels. The stratum corneum is kept hydrated by these formulations' high-water content in their structure. The bigel's hydrogel aids in the correct hydration of the stratum corneum, and the organogel's.
