Palo Santo Incense
Aroma:
Warm, delicately sweet, and woody
About Palo Santo Incense:
While it is a sacred wood to work with, it has been over-harvested due to global demand. Their population is not endangered; however, we advise using and sourcing this wood intentionally. There is very high demand, which leads to high-rates of illegal poaching. We have sourced our Palo Santo from a 50 acre farm in Ecuador that sustainably manages their trees. They have planted over 5,000 trees on their land to ensure they can sustainably meet their demand in the future.
$3 from every purchase of a Palo Santo Stick is donated to Nature and Culture International. They work with indigenous communities to protect and restore forest ecosystems in South America, including protecting wild Palo Santo forests in Ecuador.
Harvested in Ecuador.
