My daughter has been having balance issues so we got some ear candles to see if getting the grime out would help. Wanna see??!!

That's just residue from the candle 
Material that appears after ear candling, sometimes alleged to be earwax and toxins, was found to be residue from the candle itself.

The wax is definitely from her ears, I'm not saying the rest is but the wax and way wet stuff is

Nope sorry - it’s not ear wax. It’s been proven time and time again to be as @limegreenbogiensays.

And I say this as someone who has both had it done, and had a relative who offered it as a treatment and then investigated its authenticity and ditched it. The layers of paper are sealed together with a wax which results in that residue, it doesn’t come from the ears.

If you’d burnt that candle stuck into a pot end the same result would have happened.

Removal of ear wax with instant results is best achieved with micro suctioning.

The pale stuff is parrafin and the brown part is beeswax.

As someone who previously used (and paid a LOT of money for) those candles, that isn't wax. I remember peeling them open and being 😳😳 but it's just the wax and stuff they're sealed with
