What type of wax do you use?

Candles By Victoria ~ FAQ
When making our container candles, we use our special secret Paraffin blend of wax which almost has the consistency of Crisco. Our creamy blend of wax has many advantages, one being the amount of fragrance we can add to this wax, it has a very high fragrance load which makes for extremely highly scented candles. Another great advantage of this wax is that container candles require a low melting point to burn off the wax and not leave a ring of unburned wax around the inside of the container.

Should I be concerned which wax is used on my skin?

Waxing By Day - Waxing Questions
Somewhat. There are some inferior waxes out there that can really hurt if you're not careful. The majority of waxes are made from beeswax and contain various ingredients that can soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. Some are purposefully made "stronger" so that they remove tougher hairs such as in the bikini area. There's also a difference between waxes that can be pulled off with a strip and ones that harden and then pulled off on its own. Beware of hard waxes.
