Palo Santo Incense
Each 4" stick burns for about half an hour. Sold individually.
These sticks are shorter than average but they burn for a comparable amount of time to the long commercial varieties that are filled with fragrance oils and burn much hotter and faster.
Palo Santo wood, which is naturally very dense and resinous is mixed with some white sustainably-harvested sandalwood for combustibility, makko (an inner bark that works like charcoal to keep everything burning), and acacia gum mixed with water for binding.
A dough is formed and then layered onto raw untreated bamboo sticks by the Leftover Hippies team in beautiful BC, Canada.
Palo Santo is a very special and sacred wood from Peru. It has a sweet smell which only develops in the branches once they have naturally fallen from the tree and laid on the ground for a number of years.
