A gelling agent for hydrophobic organic liquids, such as mineral oil, comprising the reaction product of an organic poly-oxo-aluminum salt of a fatty acid and an organic reactant, particularly reactants having hydroxyl or carboxyl groups, in solid form. Preferably, the agent also contains an agent for reducing the settling or agglomeration of the gelling agent, such as particulate silicic acid or caoutchouc.
