Fontana Candle Company

Based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Fontana Candle Company was founded in 2018 by Eric and Katie Roering. The couple previously received a paraffin wax candle as a holiday gift, but, after a day of burning the candle, they were surprised to have both developed headaches. After researching candle ingredients, they were alarmed to discover how many toxins are present in conventional candles. The Roerings began researching clean alternatives and experimenting with pouring their own candles, and not long after, Fontana Candle Company was launched with a commitment to producing clean, non-toxic candles. Today, the candles are made with beeswax, coconut oil and essential oils, and formulated to provide a clean-burning, non-toxic alternative to traditional candles. In 2019, Fontana became the first candle to be independently verified as non-toxic by MADE SAFE®. The MADE SAFE® seal confirms that a household product is free of any and all toxins known or suspected to harm human health, animals, or ecosystems. Certified goods have been thoroughly examined by researchers and scientists.
