What are
sandy candles?

Stearic acid (trivial name), octane acid, or octadecanoic acid (in English, Octadecanoic acid), a monocarboxylic acid of the aliphatic carboxylic acid group, is presented as colorless crystals at room temperature, well soluble in diethyl ether and insoluble in water. Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid, one of the most common fatty acids in nature. It is part of glycerides in lipids, primarily triglycerides (fats) of animal origin, and is also present in most animal fats, as well as in smaller quantities in many plant oils. Molecular weight 248.48 g/mol, density 0.94 g/cm³. The melting temperature of stearic acid is 69.6 °C, and the boiling temperature is 376.1 °C. The primary industrial method for obtaining stearic acid is by extracting it from stearin, a product of the hydrolysis of fats in soap production.
