• Transparent candles have fallen in and out of favor with consumers for the past 15 years. The US market has been the initial testing ground for most of these products. However, consumers’ initial enthusiasm for the product did not seem to last as the product’s overall performance has always been measured against paraffin. Some of the underlying issues with transparent candles included safety and poor fragrance performance. A recent and interesting transparent candle introduction has come from Firmenich Fragrance Company in a product that obtained its gelling properties from two amino acids supplied by Ajinomoto. These amino acids are frequently used in personal care products as viscosity modifiers in creams and shampoos and, more recently, in clear lipsticks and antiperspirants. This transparent candle base formulation in the form of gel utilized hydrocarbon oils with the following gelling agents: dibutyl lauroyl glutamide and dibutyl ethylhexanonyl glutamide. These two gelling agents are present in an amount of 1 to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the gel candle base. It is further comprised of a perfume in an amount of 1 to 15% by weight, relative to the total weight of the candle base. In addition, the introduction of polyamide resins to Firmenich’s amino acid transparent candle has created a product that meets all of the safety criteria. Of particular interest to this development are: the polyether polyamides (PEPA), ester terminated polyamides (ETPA), ester terminated polyester-amides (ETPEA) and the tertiary amide terminated polyamides (ATPA), trade name Sylvagel A200 and Sylvagel A2614V; especially the Sylvagel A2614V. These compounds are capable of gelling non-polar and low polarity liquid organics. They are of low molecular weight resins, thermoplastics with softening point in the range of 75-100°C, which are produced from vegetable based raw materials. Firmenich’s transparent candle, which used amino acids as its main gellant, is described in Patent No. WO 2011/030265A1. It utilized one or more of the polyamides described above. The tertiary amide terminated polyamide (ATPA), particularly the Sylvagel A2614V, builds structure to work in synergy with isostearyl alcohol and/or oleyl alcohol, but also to lower the melt point, to lower the transparent candle’s pool temperature. |
