The basics
So... what is incense?
It's scented stuff you burn slowly for its smoke. People have done it for thousands of years, from Egypt to India, China and Japan.
Sticks are scented paste rolled onto bamboo. Cones are the same paste packed tight, for a stronger burst. Resins like frankincense are tree sap, melted on charcoal.
Most of our sticks and cones are made in India by Satya and HEM.

Good questions
Questions people ask us
Sticks vs cones: what's the difference?
Same scented paste, different shape. Sticks are gentler and last longer. Cones give a stronger burst.
What is Nag Champa?
A sweet, warm Indian blend, often made with sandalwood and champaca flower. Satya's version is the one most people know.
Is palo santo sustainable?
It can be. Palo santo is a tree from Ecuador and Peru. Responsible wood comes from fallen branches and dead trees, so ask where yours is from.
What about white sage?
White sage is sacred to many Indigenous peoples, and wild plants get over-picked. Sage-scented incense is a gentler way to enjoy the smell.
