It's hard for me to understand what could be the benefits of a candle that is organic and certified. I understand all the claims one could put for a body line, but for a candle it is rather unusual.
You mean that the burn would negate the organic qualities of the scent and wax?
My understanding is that the Jatamansi fragrance is aromatherapy grade and so when released either through alcohol or wax warming would have the same benefits.
