What is the difference between gel candles and wax candles?
Answer One: Gel candles are oil based whereas wax candles are paraffin based. The biggest difference is that wax is a solid with a medium melting point (often around 125 for containers). On the other hand, gel is a semi-solid with a much higher melting point (around 170 degrees). Thus, gel candles appear translucent and last longer.
