paraffin wax
Candlemaker's petroleum solid
Paraffin wax is a white or colorless waxy solid derived from petroleum, used in candles, cosmetics, food preservation, and industrial applications.
It melts at relatively low temperatures and has no taste or odor.
In British English, paraffin alone typically means kerosene rather than the wax.
