FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do we know your candles are as clean as you claim?
We believe what you breathe is just as important as what you eat when it comes to your health. Because we use only the simplest and purest ingredients, we are proud to know exactly what we are selling.
We are proud to be the first MadeSafe certified candle! 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.
Why can’t essential oil candles fill a room with scent?
Essential oils are extremely flammable so we are limited to how much oil we can use to scent our candles. Without the chemicals used in traditional fragrances, it is nearly impossible to make an essential oil candle that is as strong as a fragrance oil candle. We do market all of our candles as "lightly scented" in relation to the strength of a traditional fragrance oil candle. Even our "strong" options will smell light in comparison to most fragrance candles.
Are your candles safe for pets?
We love our fur babies here at Fontana, and we are proud that every one of our candles is 100% safe for pets. The concentrations of oils in the candles and wax melts are low enough that they do not cause issues.
Are the bees harmed for the production of your beeswax?
We buy our beeswax from a global supplier that has a Beekeepers trained in best beekeeping practices. Sustainability and the health of the hive is of upmost concern to our supplier, because the best quality beeswax comes from healthy hives!
