Why do candles drip less than they used to?

Question

It’s harder and harder to find drippy candles nowadays, most are drip-less. Is it cheaper to produce these? Is it a safety thing?

I’m writing this from the UK if that helps, as it might not be universal.

Yes i think it’s the kind of wax used. I buy church candles: more expensive but drippy like you remember
