Overview of Gel Wax
Gel Wax is a transparent, mineral oil–based speciality wax widely used in home care, decorative, and personal care-adjacent applications for its clear appearance, flexibility, and excellent fragrance-holding capacity. It is produced by combining mineral oil with polymer resins, resulting in a jelly-like, crystal-clear wax with a unique visual appeal.
In home care and decorative applications, Gel Wax is especially valued for container candles, decorative candles, air freshener gels, and ornamental wax products. Its transparency allows for suspended decorative elements, layered colours, and embedded designs, making it ideal for premium and customised candle concepts. Gel Wax holds fragrances effectively and releases scent gradually when warmed. It is often used alongside Fragrance Oils, Liquid Dyes, Coco Wax, Paraffin Wax, and Mineral Oil blends to achieve specific burn and aesthetic properties.
In selected personal care and speciality applications, Gel Wax is used in decorative cosmetic displays, novelty products, and experimental solid formats, where clarity and flexibility are desired rather than direct skin application.
ChemicalBull supplies quality-grade Gel Wax suitable for candle making and speciality home care applications, ensuring consistent clarity, controlled viscosity, and dependable bulk supply.
