Gel Wax - High Density

Our high-density gel wax is the go-to choice for creators who want to make bold, transparent candles that spark curiosity and drive engagement. This ultra-clear, firm-bodied gel is perfect for crafting solid decorative elements like faux ice cubes, drink-inspired candles, small embeds, and select wax melts.

Engineered for structure and visual clarity, this formulation holds its shape better than standard gel wax, making it ideal for sculpted details that are meant to stand out. Whether you’re building your next viral product or just exploring unique textures and forms, this wax gives you a stable base with eye-catching appeal.

Beyond its visual appeal, this wax has a satisfyingly squishy, flexible texture that many makers—and their customers—love. It's firm enough to hold its form but soft to the touch, making it a hit for novelty melts or decorative pieces that invite interaction. Perfect for those who enjoy tactile elements in their creations or want to offer a sensory experience that sets their product apart.

Popular on social platforms for its use in “ice drink candles,” this gel holds crisp shapes and details when poured into silicone moulds—think cubes, gems, or simple forms. It’s especially well-suited for modern, novelty candles that turn heads at markets or in online shops. For wax melts, it works best with shallow designs or small moulds. Larger forms may soften over time, so we recommend testing your pieces for durability before scaling production.

Key Features:

– High-density formula designed for moulded embeds and shallow wax melts
– Excellent for creating ultra-clear faux ice, crystals, and decorative accents
– Soft, squishy texture that adds a unique sensory element to your products
– Works well in layered “drink” candles when paired with container-safe wax or gel
– Compatible with approved liquid dyes and gel-safe fragrance oils
– Holds its shape in cool environments; storage conditions affect long-term stability
– Can potentially be firmed further by extended cooking, but results may vary
– Not suitable for pillar candles or unsupported large 3D shapes

Usage Guidelines

– Melting point: Approx. 77°C–85°C. Always use a double boiler or melt in short intervals with careful monitoring.
– Pouring temperature: Between 85°C and 95°C. Avoid rapid pours to reduce trapped air.
– Fragrance load: Up to 3%–6%, depending on oil type. Add at approx. 77°C for best blend.
– Cure time: Allow 24–48 hours minimum for full setup. For complex shapes, longer setting may help retain form.

Tips for Best Results

– Ideal for silicone moulds used in ice cube-style and small shape creations
– Avoid embeds or forms taller than 3 cm unless tested for stability over time
– Test embeds before production: climate, fragrance, and pour temperature can affect outcome
– Keep finished pieces in a cool, dry area to preserve clarity and firmness
– This wax is not designed to support a wick for standalone burning. Always test if incorporating into lit products

Note: Results will vary based on mould type, room temperature, fragrance load, and size of your project. We recommend running small test batches before full-scale production.

Whether you're building your product line, making custom gifts, or crafting for fun, this high-density gel wax opens up a world of creative possibilities for modern candle design—with a texture that’s just as fun to feel as it is to look at.
