Does the residue from the candle drop into the ear?

No, the ear candles we use and recommend have built in filters, which are certified medical products under EC guidelines to prevent wax and residue from dropping into the ear.

Biosun ear candles safety features include a filter, which prevents particles dropping into the ear and a maximum burn line showing when the candle should be extinguished.

Otosan ear candles safety features include a flame-breaking ring and a valve to prevent particles dropping into the ear.
