PB75 Professional Gel Wax – the specialty wax that opens a premium product category for your candle business.
Gel candles command higher retail prices and attract customers looking for something beyond standard jar candles. This crystal-clear, jelly-like wax creates visually stunning decorative candles that showcase your creativity and artistry – shells suspended mid-pour, glittering layers, colorful embeds, themed designs that tell a story.
Made from a precision blend of mineral oil and thermoplastic polymer resin, PB75 delivers that signature transparency and elasticity that makes gel candles impossible to replicate with traditional waxes. The slow burn rate means customers enjoy these artistic pieces longer, while the excellent scent dispersion with minimal fragrance loading (just 3-5%) protects your margins on specialty products.
Perfect for candle businesses ready to differentiate their product range, capture seasonal markets, create custom corporate gifts, or develop a premium decorative line that stands out on retail shelves.
Perfect for: Decorative candle specialists, seasonal product lines, corporate gift manufacturers, novelty candle businesses, tourism/souvenir candles, high-margin specialty products

Product Differentiation:
In a crowded candle market, gel candles stand out. The transparent, jelly-like appearance is immediately recognizable and appeals to customers seeking unique, gift-worthy products.
Seasonal & Themed Collections:
Gel wax is ideal for creating themed collections: beach/ocean candles with shells, holiday candles with glitter and embeds, wedding favors with personalized decorations, tourist souvenirs with local elements.
Extended Burn Performance:
The slow burn rate means customers enjoy gel candles longer than equivalent-sized traditional candles – increasing perceived value and customer satisfaction.
Creative Flexibility:
Layer different colors, suspend objects at precise heights, create bubble effects or crystal clarity, embed dried flowers or decorative elements – the possibilities for unique product lines are extensive.
Ideal for: Gift candle manufacturers, seasonal product specialists, corporate gift suppliers, tourism/souvenir businesses, wedding favor producers, high-end decorative candle brands, artisan candle makers
