Lauren is the founder of Essence No1 which started when she began to make candles at home to cope with her crippling anxiety and depression. It was only when she found a purpose in wanting to use the courage she had to not only speak up about mental health and help break the stigma around it, but also help others directly. She created Essence No1 to create luxury, eco-friendly, affordable products to help people create a safe, calming place for themselves.

A brand that believes, and helps others believe, that to 'be unapologetically you' is the best way to living a happier, healthier.
