A Brief History of Candles

Initially candles were made out of bee wax (still are in some countries) from the honey combs of bees. They did not smell great but their use for lighting was indispensable before the invention of electricity.

Paraffin wax and other vegetable waxes are also used to make candles; candles made out of this type of wax are soft and have a very low melting point until a chemical called stearic acid was added to paraffin wax to harden it.

Wholesale candles are usually made out of a variety of wax such as honey well, crafters choice, Cargill and soy.

In 1834 Joseph Morgan invented the cylindrical candles.
