About Pellar Fox

From the very beginning, we knew we wanted to bring you something different. Pellar Fox is committed to handcrafting luxury beeswax candles, made in small batches with 100% pure cappings beeswax. Maintaining sustainability and a reduced environmental impact is important to us in every step of our process, and our goal is to make candle shopping easier for those with allergies (such as soy), asthma and other sensitivities. We also take pride in making candles for those who are concerned about the toxins their pets metabolize in the home environment. Our entire line is formulated without soy, parabens, dyes, petroleum, or phthalates. 

We founded our company in 2020 and began growing in Portland, Oregon where we partnered with local markets and a regional independent grocery chain with 11 locations. Now, we are located in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State. You can find our products on the Pellar Fox website, as well as in more than 90 shops, boutiques, living history museums and nature centers around the country. Retailers can also find us on the Wholesale Platform Faire.

So, how did we get our name? In Medieval times, a Pellar was a healer and someone villagers would seek out for help. "Pellar" comes from the latin word ‘Pello’, which means “to expel, banish, drive out”…and when you light a beeswax candle, it produces negative ions that attach to dust, pollen, mold, odor, and toxins in the air…literally driving them out of your space. We chose “Fox” because they are resourceful, intelligent and friendly.  It's also been said that you should keep your beehive at least 3 ft. off the ground, because foxes (among other animals) love honey and beeswax - almost as much as we do.
