**Light up your home with beautiful, highly scented Gel, Soy, Yankee candles from Happy Candles**

Here at Happy Candles , we generally prefer gel candles to wax candles for their better scent throw and longer life. They also shimmer more than wax. Sometimes, though, you just can't beat the classic, traditional wax candle. Soy wax candles are all natural and gaining in popularity. Beeswax candles are neat to burn as wellwith just the thought of possibly, millions of bees having poured their heart into making the beeswax is mind boggling.
Gel wax with its translucent properties, allows many types of embeds to be placed in it thus allowing for much creativity. You could place embeds in wax candles easily, but since you could not see them, it wouldn't be a benefit.
Gel wax is made by one company, Penreco, which owns the patent. It consists mainly of mineral oil mixed with a type of hardener. The ratio of hardener to mineral oil is what determines the 3 grades of gel wax: LP, MP, HP.
