For the most part, the flame of a candle produces water and carbon dioxide.

There aer a number of other substances also produced in small quantities, and these depend on the condition of the wick and the type of wax used. They can include carbon monoxide, carbon, and various organic compounds that turn to gas and fail to burn.
