Shabbat Candles (Material)

Shabbat

Let’s say I want to light Shabbat Candles. (non-electric)
Can they be made from any material?
As in, any candles I can just but at the store, like tea lights or those long white candles?

Two things brought this question to mind: Bameh Madlikin and hechshers on Shabbat candles (why would they do that…do they really need hechshers?)

Thanks!

Any wax candle should be ok. The point of the Mishna is that the light should be good light, which many years ago wasn’t that easy to find
Hashgacha companies need to pay their bills
