oiliness
Slick surface condition
Oiliness is the quality of being oily—having the texture, sheen, or slipperiness of oil.
Skin may have oiliness, as may hair or certain foods.
Figuratively, oiliness describes an unctuous or excessively smooth manner that suggests insincerity: His oiliness made me distrust every word he said.
