In a world where “clean living” is more than just a trend, it’s become increasingly difficult to decipher genuine health-conscious brands from those cleverly disguised in greenwashing. This is especially true in the candle industry, where alluring scents often mask a cocktail of hidden chemicals. But amidst this fragrant fog emerges Fontana Candle Company, a beacon of transparency and a champion of natural wellness.

Fontana’s story began with a newlywed couple, Katie and Eric Roering, who experienced the unsettling side effects of a popular paraffin-based candle. Headaches, fatigue, and a general feeling of malaise led them down a research rabbit hole, uncovering the disturbing truth about conventional candles and their undisclosed synthetic fragrances. This sparked a mission to create candles that were not only safe and natural but also held captivating scents without compromising health.

The Dark Side of Fragrance

The seemingly innocent word “fragrance” can hide a multitude of negatives. Candle companies are not legally obligated to disclose the specific chemicals used in their fragrances, leaving consumers in the dark about the potentially harmful toxins they’re inhaling. Studies have linked synthetic fragrances to a range of health issues, from headaches and allergies to hormone disruption and respiratory problems.

Fontana’s Illuminating Approach

Fontana Candle Company stands apart by prioritizing complete transparency and ingredient purity. They replace the popular paraffin and soy wax with a carefully crafted blend of beeswax and coconut oil, a combination that burns cleanly and holds the scent of pure essential oils beautifully. Their commitment to natural ingredients ensures a healthier and more enjoyable candle experience.

Beyond the Surface: What Makes Fontana Different

• Radical Transparency: Fontana proudly displays every ingredient on their labels, empowering consumers to make informed decisions about their home scenting choices.
• MADE SAFE Certified: As the first candle company to achieve MADE SAFE certification, Fontana provides third-party assurance that their products are free of harmful chemicals. This rigorous screening process guarantees that their candles meet the highest standards of safety for human health and the environment.
• A Symphony of Natural Scents: Fontana’s dedication to pure essential oils results in complex and captivating scents that evoke the essence of nature. From the invigorating blend of Lemongrass Eucalyptus to the festive warmth of Cinnamon Orange Clove, their candles offer a sensory journey without the synthetic overload.
• Sustainable Choices: Fontana’s use of beeswax, a natural and renewable resource, reflects their commitment to sustainability. Their cherry wood wicks not only provide a cozy crackling ambiance but also burn cleaner than traditional wicks.
