In-Depth Review
Handcrafted Quality from Los Angeles
P.F. Candle Co. has grown from a one-woman operation into a prestigious indie brand known for its distinctive amber jars and nostalgic scents. Every candle is hand-poured in Los Angeles by a team that is paid a living wage. Unlike mass-market candles that often use paraffin wax—a byproduct of the petroleum industry—these candles use 100% domestically grown soy wax, which burns cleaner and longer while supporting American farmers.
Safe Scents for the Home
Fragrance transparency is a significant issue in the home decor industry. P.F. Candle Co. uses a blend of fine fragrance oils and essential oils that are strictly phthalate-free. This makes them a safer choice for households with children, pets, or individuals with respiratory sensitivities. The cotton core wicks are lead-free, ensuring that the 'seasonal glow' doesn't come with a side of heavy metal toxins.
| Component | Material |
|---|---|
| Wax | 100% USA Soy |
| Jar | Recyclable Amber Glass |
| Wick | Lead-free Cotton |
| Oil | Phthalate-free Fragrance |
While the brand is not a B Corp yet, they maintain high standards for their workforce and prioritize local sourcing to minimize their transit-related carbon footprint. Their giftability is high due to the unisex aesthetic and sophisticated scent profiles like Teakwood & Tobacco or Piñon.
"We believe that fragrance should be an affordable luxury that doesn't compromise on indoor air quality."
