Wholesale Scented Jar Candles and wholesale scented gel candles

Wholesale scented jar candles are a great addition to any gift shop or souvenir store, especially when they are gel candles. What makes gel candles unique is the translucent beauty of the base material. It is made out of medical grade mineral oil, so it is long lasting and clean burning when properly taken care of.
Because the gel is not completely solid (it feels like a stiff rubbery gel), you will find that all gel candles are jar candles. We believe that this can actually be safer because by having the candle contained within a jar, the flame is not open and is less likely start a fire unless the item falls into the candle and you will never have drips or splatters on your table!

There are a few things to look for when purchasing a gel candle wholesale. These would be Quality, Consistency, Fragrance, and the experience of the manufacturer.

Quality
To check out the quality of a gel candle, the first step is to look at the candle itself. Is the wick straight? If the wick is crooked or falling over, this can lead to the jar overheating and cracking as the flame gets closer to the glass. Is the gel clear and not cloudy? Cloudy gel could be a sign that the candle is very old, or that the fragrance oil was not really gel safe. Some questions to ask the wholesale manufacturer about the quality would be; Are the fragrance oils specifically for gel candles? Are the candles scented throughout? Also check that the jars are made for candles or have been thoroughly tested to be candle safe.

Consistency
To check the consistency of the candles, the first thing to look at is if the color is consistent throughout the candle itself and among the various candles of the same fragrance that are on display. You may see slight variations between various sizes of scented jar candles and also based on what items are included with the candle itself. But the ones of the same size should all be very close in color range. When you are buying candles wholesale, you want to be able to offer the same product again and again to your customers and don’t want the products constantly changing on you. You may also want to ask the manufacturer about their process to ensure that the color is consistent and that the fragrance is evenly distributed throughout the candle gel material.

Fragrance
As mentioned above, gel candles need special fragrance oils. Be sure that your manufacturer understands that there is a difference between scents for gel candles and scents for wax candles. Additionally, you want a wholesale candle manufacturer that has a wide enough variety of fragrances to satisfy the desires of your customers.

Experience
The experience of the wholesale candle manufacturer is very important. While it is easy to add some fragrance oil to a candle material and make a candle, the experience comes about in knowing the proper ratios and formulas needed to make a quality gel candle. Additionally, there is a lot of testing to ensure a great burning candle. The burn is greatly affected by the shape of the jar, the type and size of the wick, how well mixed the candle is as well as the freshness of the oil and the candle.

Finally, when you are looking for a wholesale jar candle manufacturer, look for one that has proper burning instructions and safety instructions included with every candle. You want to ensure that your customers have a great experience with the products that they purchase from you and if possible, try to find a manufacturer t that makes all of their products in the United States. You will get a great product and support other Americans.
