Lume & Co.™ Medium Density Gel Wax | Clear Transparent Gel Wax for Candles | 250g, 500g & 1kg

Lume & Co.™ Medium Density Gel Wax is a water-clear, transparent gel wax designed for premium candle making and decorative container candle applications. Its clear appearance and smooth working consistency make it ideal for creating visually appealing gel candles where colour, embeds, and layered designs can be showcased beautifully. Available in 250g, 500g, and 1kg packs, it is suitable for hobby makers, gifting projects, and small-batch candle production.

This medium density gel wax is best suited for transparent candles made in heat-safe glass or other appropriate containers. It offers a clean, elegant look and is easy to work with when melted carefully under controlled heat. The clarity of the wax makes it especially suitable for decorative candles where the visual finish is an important part of the product appeal.

For best results, use gel-compatible wicks, gel-safe fragrances, and liquid dyes formulated for transparent candle systems. Before scaling production, small-batch testing is recommended to optimise wick size, fragrance load, and final burn performance. Guidance across candle-making sources also consistently recommends gel-safe fragrance, liquid dye, testing before large batches, and using gel wax mainly for container candles.
