This would be the vegan alternative, right?

shea butter, candelilla wax, olive oil

And then this would be for those who it doesn't matter, right?

Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Sweet Almond oil, Avocado oil.

Now, for the first one (vegan), is there anything else I could add or sub? And for the second one, could I make it vegan by subbing the beeswax for candelila wax? and, what about the coconut oil? Is that the same we use to make soap with? What would the percentages be for a recipe? Thank you!!

A general rule of thumb is 1/3 oils, 1/3 wax, 1/3 butters. Candelilla wax is a harder wax, so you would need less as opposed to beeswax.
