Thank you so much for your answer, it is appreciated! In the description it stated high quality paraffin with a lead free wick. That's it.

Greetings~ I hope someone can help me. I'm a mixed media artist/maker and I paint on glass encased candles. As of late I have been painting on sanctuary candles or otherwise known as prayer candles - these are supposed to be 7 day candles.. I used to get my candles from a great US wholesale company, but due to a divorce (that's the reason they gave), they closed. So I found another US wholesaler and made a semi-large order. They didn't offer samples, but they had (what seemed to be independent)good reviews online. I got my order Saturday and all, and I mean all, of the candles have some sort or a white frosting on them, as well as air hole and tunneling. I'm kind of beside myself. The description of the candles stated they were paraffin with lead free wick. I can't comment as to how long they will burn as I'm only on one full day so far of the second candle I lit to test. The first candle I lit, however, tunneled immediately and the wick was buried in wax. I could not relight it no matter what. I have attached pictures and I hope you professionals can give me an idea of what happened to these candles. All candles I have previously bought from the other company were smooth as glass with uniform, rich color. Thanks so much for your time, it is vert appreciated as I have to contact the company tomorrow to try and get a refund. -Merry
