Gel Candles 

Many people favor gel candles over wax ones because of their longer burn period, cleaner flame, and more vivid hues. Shells and stones are only two examples of the many potential embellishments. Gel candles are more expensive to produce, but they last far longer and are worth the extra cost. The substance used to make the candles is the most noticeable distinction between the two types. Mineral oil and polymer resin form the basis of gel candles. Paraffin wax, beeswax, and soy wax are used to create classic wax candles. The visual distinction between gel candles and wax candles is striking.

However, just like paraffin candles, gel candles produce harmful pollutants when burned since they are constructed from petroleum-based wax or synthetic hydrocarbons. Fragrance oils used in gel candles are different to those in wax candles. Fragrances used in gel candles must be made specifically for them and be oil soluble. However, scientific research has proved that scented candles are safe for home use. Gel candles or not, there is always the risk of fire while using candles. Keep candles away from anything that can catch fire, and don't leave them burning unattended too long. Unlike traditional candles, gel candles are not created with any animal byproducts in their production.
