Interesting, Top (and thanks for the heads-up about what constitues "renewable resources"). re: 0006 - obviously a subjective aesthetic observation, and a selling point. re: 0007 - a little from column A, a little from column B. I have noticed a difference in the "odor" of paraffin vs soy vs beeswax (have not tried palm or other waxes purposefully) and they all smell different to me without FO. Saying they "may" increase airborne compounds by being burned in an enclosed environment applies to any wax, obviously. re: 0008 - absolutely true, unless the price of paraffin vs soy is being artificially controlled. Most paraffin waxes are almost twice the cost of what soycandle is letting the GB wax go for. re: 0009 - obviously, YMMV. Actually no, they can't. Just like Ford can't show the road through an empty windshield and claim they have the clearest windshields ever, companies must make claims that appeal truthfully to "a reasonable consumer".
