Make your space sacred with the aromatic ritual of our Palo Santo incense cones. Made and sourced along the coast of northern Peru, these cones are created with the intention to unite common world known herbs and native Peruvian herbs.
Palo Santo: Enjoy the citrus, rosy-woodsy scent of Palo Santo. Purifying and cleansing; the aroma is warm and delicately sweet.
To further our efforts in protecting the Palo Santo tree, these cones include Palo Santo and other herbs. Mixing Palo Santo with other Peruvian herbs helps to reduce the amount of Palo Santo being used.
Eucalyptus: Minty and woodsy aroma. This medicinal plant is commonly used for purification and protection. Collected from Otuzco, La Libertad, in the Peruvian highlands.
Rosemary: Rosemary has a relaxing scent of pine and sage which can promote better memory and focus. Burning it can help you feel closer to your guides or passed loved ones. Sourced from Yungay, Ancash.
Seven Andean Herbs: Blend of Muña (Peruvian mint), Romerillo (Peruvian lavender), Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Wallpa Chaki, Wiracoa, and Piyacuya. This unique combination of universal healing herbs are herbs that are used by native healers of Peru.
Variety Bundle: Try all 4 scents! Includes a hand made modern concrete burner. Each box has 8 cones.
Product Origin
- Northern Coastal Peru Dry Forest
-
We have had the pleasure of sourcing Palo Santo and working with the same Peruvian community for over five years. The native community is currently coordinating with the authorities on certification of a reforestation program. Until then, a small nursery has been started to observe and better understand the process of Palo Santo reforestation. They have planted over 1,000 branches of Palo Santo and have reforested over 700 small plants.
-
The Palo Santo in our cones is sourced from a forest that is managed, authorized and certified by the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (SERFOR) of Peru. Only Palo Santo trees and branches that have fallen naturally and have remained on the land for at least 3 to 4 years are used. Pachamama, Mother Earth, is not harmed by this method of harvesting. The Palo Santo wood is machined into sawdust, pressed, and hand made into cone incense.
More info
These cones stay lit longer than a Palo Santo stick so you can enjoy the relaxing scent longer. Each incense cone burns for approximately 25 minutes, elevating a space to be lightly fragranced in under an hour.
Sustainability initiative
10% of profits from the sales of the Palo Santo Cones will go to the reforestation of Palo Santo trees and the preservation of the fragile Tropical Dry forest of Northern Peru. Our partner, Area Conservación Privada Mangamanguilla, is reforesting Palo Santo trees in the rare and diverse ecosystem that is home to Palo Santo – holy wood (Bursera Graveolens) with the support of your purchase.
Mangamanguilla Private Conservation Area in Piura, Peru, is a phenomenal and beautiful place, with a remarkable grassroots conservation program. The program helps supports the people of Mangamanguilla, a rural village in the Piura region of Peru. In 2016, SERNANP (Peru's environmental agency) designated the Área Conservación Privada Mangamanguilla as a private reserve, legally protecting 1,738 hectares of critically endangered dry forest habitat.
Instructions:
- Light the end of the incense cone at a slight angle with a lighter or match, and allow the flame to burn for approximately 10-15 seconds, enough to create a small flame.
- Carefully blow on the flame to extinguish. The incense cone should produce a glowing red ember and a swirl of smoke, and will continue to burn on its own.
- Be sure to burn incense on a heatproof, non-flammable holder only. Please note that the bottom of the incense cone may leave a residual stain on ceramic holders while burning.
- Burn incense in a well-ventilated room, away from flammable materials, and never leave incense burning unattended or in near children, pets, or a draft.
- Recycle or repurpose the incense boxes, they can be reused after use as storage - or whatever you want!
