Why does soaking candles in salt water make them dripless? Does anyone know a scientific reason?

I read about this online and have tried it twice. Both times it worked beautifully, and the salted candles burned a couple hours longer than the unsalted candles. I’ve used the method on cheap dollar store candles. What does the salt do to the candles to change the way they burn?

What brands of candles have a vegetable-based wax?

i am just wondering what ones do because i have one ot those candle warmers and the instructions say specifically NO vegetable-based wax candles because they might explode apparentally. so i was wondering does anyone know 100% what candle brands i shouldn’t use on it because i would rather not be the reason for a candle to explode and get in lots of trouble by my parents
