The Fontana Team is winding down for the year and taking a few days off to refresh, recharge, and enjoy the holiday season!
We wanted to take a moment to appreciate what made 2024 shine.
It’s been a year of cleaner comfort, cozier homes, and communities who care. Let’s keep that gentle glow going into 2025.
We may be a small team, but we’re a mighty one! This year, we’ve dedicated significant resources to scaling our candle production. You might have noticed that we retired nearly all of our non-candle products—this decision allowed us to meet the growing demand for our candles during the busy holiday season. As a result, we made great strides in keeping our best-selling candles in stock compared to last year!
Cinnamon Orange Clove came out as your favorite scent again this year! It has secured the top-spot since its debut in 2019. It also had the honored of being featured on The TODAY Show in December with Fir Needle & Pine.
We also had the honor of launching Honey Lemonade this year with our good friend Shawna Holman, @alittlelesstoxic. This bright Summery scent quickly became a fan favorite.
We heard you loud and clear- you wanted more beeswax candles from us! We expanded our pure beeswax collection with unscented tapers, tealights, and pillars. These candles are perfect non-toxic additions to your holiday tables and parties.
Talk about celebrating - our new Celebrations collection allows you to celebrate life's most cherished moments from Mother's Day and Father's Day to Birthdays' and every day in-between.
Our Founders, Katie and Eric, place an emphasis on continuous improvement in all aspects of the business. Nothing is ever perfect, but we are always learning and pivoting. We have continuously developed and launched new scents and products that have found a place in your homes and hearts. As our customers evolve, we believe it is time for the Fontana brand to undergo a makeover to stay aligned with the ever-changing times and trends.
In January 2024, we initiated discussions on rebranding Fontana. After gathering feedback from our customers and retailers, it was clear that they desired a cleaner look. Inspired by nontoxic brands with impressive packaging, labels, and designs, we embarked on our rebranding journey.
We unveiled our fresh look with our Fall 2024 launch.
