Essential Candy FAQ
Straight answers to what our community asks most.
What are botanical or functional lozenges?
Functional botanical lozenges are wellness lozenges made with real plant extracts, herbs, and natural ingredients. They are crafted to support everyday wellness while still tasting enjoyable, and they dissolve slowly for a pleasant botanical experience.
Why choose lozenges instead of pills or gummies?
Lozenges dissolve slowly in the mouth, allowing botanical ingredients to be experienced gradually. This makes them a simple, convenient alternative to capsules, powders, or artificial gummies, and they can be enjoyed anytime without water or mixing.
Are your ingredients organic?
Yes. Essential Candy products are certified organic and produced under the USDA National Organic Program, with verification by NSF / Quality Assurance International (QAI).
Are your products gluten-free?
Essential Candy states that many of its products are Gluten-Free Certified by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO) and are produced under strict ingredient and manufacturing standards to support customers with gluten sensitivities.
Where are your products made?
Essential Candy products are manufactured in its South Carolina facility, which operates under Good Manufacturing Practices and is audited and licensed by the South Carolina Department of Agriculture.
