Great product and experience
I bought a couple of pkgs of the Slumber Blend at a Market for Makers in Jax to help with sleep, which it absolutely does. I ordered more for my son, who is on the spectrum and has intrusive thoughts and night terrors, and trouble falling asleep. He swears by them. Ordered this and more off the website, very responsive customer service when I needed to make a change to my order, and fast shipping. I will order again!
Response from Essential CandySep 17, 2026
Hi MEJ, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! 💛 We’re so glad you discovered our Slumber Blend™ at Market for Makers in Jacksonville and that it has become such a valued part of both your and your son’s nighttime routines. Hearing that your son “swears by them” certainly brought a smile to our faces! We also really appreciate your comments about our customer service and shipping. Being responsive and taking personal care of our customers is incredibly important to us, especially when an order needs a last-minute change. Thank you for trusting Essential Candy and for coming back to order more. We’re grateful to have you and your family as part of our community! — Tracy & Dean, Essential Candy

Quick delivery
Quick delivery Receiving a hand written note was very special After using the joint comfort candy for about a month, I realized I no longer felt the aches and pains I had gotten so used to!

Ordering couldn't be easier
Ordering couldn't be easier. Uses got it here in short time. The short personal note from Samantha makes you think you deal with real folks and not AI. The upset stomach stuff works better than pepcid
Response from Essential CandySep 17, 2026
Hi Darrell, thank you so much for the great review! 💛 We’re glad ordering was easy, your package arrived quickly, and you’re having such a positive experience with our Digestive Blend™. It means a lot to hear it has become something you can count on as part of your routine. And we especially love your comment about Samantha’s handwritten note! 😊 There are definitely real people behind every Essential Candy order. Those personal notes are one of the little ways our team likes to remind our customers how much we appreciate them — no AI-generated thank-yous going into those boxes! Thank you for your support, Darrell! — Tracy & Dean, Essential Candy

Ik ben teleurgesteld in mijn recentste aankoop op Essential Candy. De verpakking was mooi, maar de inhoud was een teleurstelling. De smaak was zwak en de textuur viel tegen. Ik had gehoopt op iets beters, maar helaas was dit niet het geval. De website had maar één optie te bieden, wat de keuze beperkte. Ik verwachtte meer variatie en kwaliteit. Misschien is het een eenmalige fout, maar ik hoop dat ze dat in de toekomst verbeteren.
Response from Essential CandySep 17, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We take all customer reviews seriously; however, we have been unable to identify this experience as one involving Essential Candy. We currently do not ship to Europe, and the description of our website having “only one option” does not match our business. Essential Candy offers a variety of botanical lozenge blends and products through our website. We also have no verified purchase associated with this review. It is possible this review was intended for another company. If you did purchase directly from Essential Candy, please contact us with your order information so we can verify the purchase and address your concerns. — Tracy & Dean, Essential Candy
