Candles

The best candle formulations burn cleanly and retain their fragrance from the first light to the final burn. Since 1903, Sonneborn products have led the industry to keep every candle burning perfectly with the broadest line of high-purity hydrocarbons.

By choosing the Sonneborn brand, formulators have access to unsurpassed technical expertise, along with innovative Sonneborn products. The Sono Jell™ Candle Base product line is an example of one of these innovative technologies. These highly refined hydrocarbon blends are intended for use as crystal modifiers in the custom formulation of container candles and other fragrance delivery systems.

Sono Jell Candle Base products provide container candle formulators with an additive that will help fight polymorphism and shrinkage. It can be used as an alternative to microcrystalline wax, white oil, petrolatum or other combinations. This candle application chart will help you choose the right product for each type of candle. Sono Jell Candle Base also provides unparalleled UV and thermal stability, helping to maintain color and fragrance integrity within the candle matrix.
