Gelled Oil
I want to create a gelled oil sample for a face and scalp oil but in a solid gel. I used Oilkemia (Lubrizol) long time ago. Did anybody else have suggestions of another material to create a solid or semi solid oil gel?

I would second the recommendation by @Graillotion of using Butter Pearls (C10-18 Triglycerides). It is an ingredient I use quite often. If you are interested, there is a video where Butter Pearls are compared at 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, and 40% concentrations with safflower oil. You may find it useful.
