ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to transparent candle compositions, and methods of preparation thereof, comprised of a clear gel obtained by combining a liquid base material of a hydrogenated polyolefin, a gelling agent, and, optionally, a gel enhancing agent so as to produce either a pourable or non-pourable gel. As a representative example of the invention, the transparent candle composition is a clear gel obtained from hydrogenated polyisobutene that has a repeating unit having the following chemical structure: ##STR1## wherein the hydrogenated polyisobutene is comprised of a mixture of higher viscosity component having an average number of repeating units wherein n is about 23 and lower viscosity component having an average number of repeating units wherein n is about 6 to 8, the gelling agent is N-acyl glutamic acid diamide, and additional components may include isostearyl alcohol, dimethyl isosorbide and/or 12-hydroxystearic acid, or derivatives thereof, or additional components may include butyl stearate.
