Special waxes

What are speciality candle waxes?

Speciality waxes are materials designed to create visual effects, enhance properties or produce candles that differ from traditional ones. They include waxes such as gel wax, powdered waxes and additives that change the behaviour of the base wax.

What is gel wax used for?

Gel wax is used to create transparent candles with decorative effects. It allows you to embed items inside the candle and achieve really striking visual finishes, ideal for decorative or personalised candles.

What is powdered candle wax?

Powdered wax is an innovative format that lets you create candles without having to melt the wax. It is easy to use and very versatile, especially for creative or decorative projects.

What are candle additives used for?

Additives are used to improve specific characteristics of candles, such as hardness, fragrance retention, shine or stability. They are particularly useful when working with plant-based waxes and looking to optimise the final result.

Are they suitable for beginners?

Some speciality waxes, such as powdered wax, are very easy to use and suitable for beginners. Others, however, such as additives, require some knowledge to be used correctly.

Can they be mixed with other waxes?

Yes, many speciality waxes are designed to be combined with base waxes such as soy wax, rapeseed wax or paraffin wax. This allows you to customise properties such as the texture, hardness or finish of the candle.
