Great wax to work with
Crystal-clear gel wax for decorative candles — show off embeds, cocktail and underwater designs with a clean, long-lasting burn.
Craft captivating candles with our Simply Gel Wax, a medium-density gel designed for crystal-clear, decorative creations. Perfect for underwater scenes, beer candles, cocktail candles and other statement designs, this wax delivers a clean, long-lasting burn while showcasing embeds beautifully.
Gel wax is a crystal-clear, medium-density gel — not an opaque wax like soy or paraffin. It stays translucent when set, so it shows off anything you suspend inside it: glass gems, shells, colour and decorative details. Add a touch of dye for a jewel-like, stained-glass glow.
This is the fun one. Gel wax is made for statement, decorative candles — underwater scenes, cocktail candles, beer candles and other embed-led designs. Pour it into heat-safe glassware so the clarity does the talking, and enjoy a clean, long-lasting burn.
Keep fragrance to a maximum of 5%, and only use high-flashpoint fragrance oils. Low-flashpoint oils can cloud the gel or become a fire risk at gel's higher working temperatures. Add fragrance just before pouring and stir gently to avoid trapping bubbles.
Absolutely — embeds are what gel wax does best. Use non-flammable, flame-resistant decorations only (glass gems, shells, and pieces rated for candle use) and keep them clear of the wick and flame path. Warm your embeds slightly before pouring to reduce bubbles clinging to them.
