About P.F. Candle Co.

P.F. Candle Co. is a home fragrance company from Los Angeles. Sustainability at P.F. started in 2008, when the brand was founded as an Etsy shop, repurposing discarded items like spent pizzeria candles and old books into new items. Since inception, sustainability has been a core value of how we run our business, and our commitment has only grown through our Climate Neutral certification. P.F. prioritizes using renewable materials (like soy wax), limiting excess packaging, and seeking out green energy to power our facilities. The choice to use soy wax instead of paraffin reduces our carbon footprint by thousands of tonnes. We encourage our employees to make sustainable choices by providing fully subsidized modes of transportation like a free metro pass and have composting at each facility. We give back to organizations annually that support the environment and environmental justice causes.
