                                CANDLES

Candles were once made from tallow and beeswax until after about 1850, they were made mainly from spermaceti and purified animal fats (stearin).
Today, most candles are made from paraffin wax.Candles can also be made from beeswax, soy, other plant waxes, and tallow (a by-product of beef-fat rendering).
 Gel candles are made from a mixture of mineral oil and a polymer.
