    Do you have an example of a product already on the market?

    You can do that by making a micro emulsion.  But do you have an ingredient list?

    Gel candles are made using a blend of mineral oil and a thermoplastic resin.
    What is your application? There are products made by Lonza (ViscUp) and Ajinomoto (EB-21 & GP-1) that are used for thickening mineral oil for cosmetic applications.

    Skipping Lonza, I would say Ajinomoto is extremely expensive and what I see is a HC product in the picture above. Check Croda, I remember seeing one of these products in their portfolio. And I remember it was for HC application.
