Who invented soft wax?

Has anyone out there ever heard of candles being made out of soft wax? I learned tonight that they do make them and I also learned of some uses other than for burning to make pretty smells. My first warning to everyone, don't buy them if you have children. If you win one at a party like I did, throw it out before your children get a hand on it. While I am typing this I am reminded of the time one of my nieces put vapo rub in her hair and how hard it was to get it out. Can all of you see where I am going with this? Luckily, Melody did not put the soft wax in her hair, however, she gave herself a head to toe body wax. She is sitting in the tub with soap. I'm trying to see what I can get off of her without using the dish soap. I know I'm going to have to use dish soap but her skin is so sensitive that I want to use as little as possible. After Melody gave herself the wax job she either gave a wax treatment to Winnie, the goldendoodle with long fur, or gave her an all over body hug and then rolled around on my sheets. The sheets are in the washer with dish soap trying to get clean, the dog is hiding from me, Melody is in the tub and my house is airing out from the HIGHLY SCENTED beauty treatment my daughter just gave herself so I better go and take a few puffs off my inhaler and check on Melody before anything worse happens. I also would like to find out who invented soft wax and make them figure out how to get the rest out of my carpet and bedding.
