dripping wax question

I have used ear candles several times on myself & family. Recently used different candles from the healthfood store (I believe pretty well-known named candles). I used these on my son & myself and had tons of "wax" come out. However, the candles themselves had lots of wax on them, even noticed a drip on mine. I was a bit concerned using them as I had never seen so much wax from the cloth before. I was afraid of it dripping into the ear canal. Has anyone seen this difference in candles before? They were not cheap candles (cost $2.99 each) but, again, they were super saturated with wax (beeswax) and had me concerned. I would appreciate any comments. I presently have sent for 3 different batches online from different companies so that I can compare & find the one I like. Thanks for the info and comments.
