  • The history of candle making dates back to ancient times, with the earliest known candles being made in China around 200 BC using whale fat. The Romans also made candles using tallow, and the Egyptians used beeswax. In the Middle Ages, candles were made from beeswax and tallow and were used for religious ceremonies. In the 19th century, the invention of the stearin candle made from stearic acid, a byproduct of animal fat, revolutionized the industry. In the 20th century, the development of paraffin wax made from petroleum further transformed the industry. In recent years, the industry has seen a resurgence in demand for natural and organic candles made from soy wax, beeswax, and other natural materials. In the United States, the candle industry has a long history dating back to colonial times when candles were made from animal fat and beeswax. In the 19th century, the development of the stearin candle and the paraffin wax candle led to the growth of the industry. In the 20th century, the industry faced competition from electric lighting, but the demand for candles remained strong. In recent years, the industry has seen a shift towards natural and organic candles, as consumers become more environmentally conscious.
