Pro Tip: Gel wax vs Fragrance Oil

To find out if a fragrance is compatible with gel wax, there are 2 requirements.

The fragrance must be non-polar

1. Prepare two clear and clean containers, such as small glass or plastic cups.

2. Pour a small amount of mineral oil or baby oil into one container.

3. Pour an equal amount of the fragrance oil you want to test into the other container.

4. Slowly add a few drops of the fragrance oil to the container with the mineral oil or baby oil.

5. Stir the mixture gently with a clean utensil, such as a plastic spoon or a wooden stick.

6. Observe the mixture for any signs of separation, cloudiness, or the formation of droplets that do not mix with the oil.

If the fragrance oil mixes well with the mineral oil or baby oil without any separation or cloudiness, it's likely that the fragrance oil is non-polar and could be compatible with gel wax. However, keep in mind that this test is not foolproof, and it's always best to refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific fragrance oil to ensure compatibility with gel wax.

The fragrance must be 170F or above

1. For a fragrance oil to be safe for use in gel wax, it should have a flash point of 170°F (77°C) or higher. The flash point is the temperature at which a substance can vaporize and ignite when exposed to an open flame or spark. Fragrance oils with a higher flash point are less likely to pose a fire risk when used with gel wax, as gel wax typically has a higher melting point compared to other candle waxes.
