GEL CANDLES: Gel Candle wax is transparent and offers fun variety of designs and votive “forever candles” that allow the entire candle to illuminate while burning, creating an amazing “WOW” factor using this transparent mineral oil/polymer resin wax blend. Gel Wax burns approximately twice as long as most regular waxes. Because it isn’t a hard wax, it isn’t used for column candles, but there are endless varieties of container candles (such as fishbowl, beachy or margarita/wine/beer drink candles) that feature gel wax and combinations of other waxes or items used as fun embeds with the gel.
