About Just Essential Goods

Just Essential Goods started when Founder and CEO, Brendan M. Traynor, decided to start making natural alternatives to everyday products for him and his family. He decided he wanted to provide safe, non-toxic, natural products for other conscious consumers and founded Just Essential Goods. We use only 100% natural ingredients for all our products. All candles are made with a blend of soy wax and Stroope Honey Farms beeswax, a wooden wick, and scented only with pure essential oils. We pride ourselves on being a sustainable brand by offsetting our carbon emissions and donating $1 of every candle sale to The Bee Conservancy. “It all started with making products for my mother. She loves candles but has a rare type of asthma that is easily irritated by synthetic fragrances. I decided I would start making candles using only plant-based ingredients. From there, I started making other alternatives to everyday household items. All of my products have the Mom Stamp of Approval.” - Brendan M. Traynor, CEORead their story
