"Paraffin wax and carbon tetrachloride--with colorants "
LOL somebody didn't paste a link to go with her copy and paste answer.
Some of the lamps, especially the cheaper ones at WalMart are just using oil. Sometimes when you make your own you can do that but there's a certain non flammable kind you have to buy. Of course oil and water don't mix so you just add food coloring to the water....trouble is...figuring out what kind of light bulb to use and what sort of bottle to add the stuff to.
here is a really cool link on how to make your own

My cousin made one using the mineral oil, alcohol, with a little turpentine, which is one of the formulas on www.oozinggoo.com I'd recommend that website, so you can read all the different formulas and the reviews on them in one spot, for yourself. Have fun!
