To my knowledge, no candles are made from sulfur except greenhouse fumigating candles. Sulfur, when burned emits sulfur dioxide, a highly noxious gas, and so would not be used in household candles. These are made from various waxes (beeswax, paraffin), animal fats such as tallow, hydrogenated (solidified) vegetable oils and stearates.

In some candles from China there is arsenic in them.
