More Info

Welcome to our enchanting Resin collection, a treasury of nature's aromatic gifts. Resin, often used as incense, is a natural substance that trees release to heal their wounds. When burned, these resins produce a rich, aromatic smoke, each type carrying its unique scent.

Whether it's the earthy frankincense resin or the sweetly scented copal resin, our collection offers an array of resin incense and burners, designed to enhance your rituals, meditation, or simply to create a soothing ambiance in your home.

What is resin?

Resin is a naturally occurring substance found in a variety of plants and trees. This unique substance is a thick, sticky fluid that trees and plants release when they're injured in order to seal the wound and prevent infections from settling in. Over time, the resin hardens and can be collected for various uses.

In many cultures, resin has been treasured for its therapeutic and aromatic properties, often used to create incense. From the biblical frankincense to the ancient Mayans' use of copal, resins have a long, rich history in human civilizations.

What is resin made of?

Resin comes from the sap of some trees and plants. It's a mix of natural substances that create special scents when burned. Resins like frankincense and copal also have oils and a sticky material called gum.

When a tree or plant gets hurt, these substances harden when they meet the air, protecting the tree. This hardened substance is what we call resin.

Over time, people collect this resin and use it in many ways, like making the resin incense we offer in our collection.

How to use resin incense

Using resin incense is a rewarding experience, enhancing rituals, meditation, or simply creating a calming ambiance.

The first step is to acquire a heat source, usually a charcoal disc, along with a heat-resistant container or incense burner. You then place a small piece of the resin on the lit charcoal disc inside the burner.
As the resin begins to heat, it will start to melt and emit an aromatic smoke that fills your space with its distinctive scent.

Remember to be mindful during the process, appreciating the transformation of the resin and the ambiance it creates.

How to burn resin incense

Burning resin incense is a simple process, but it does require care.

First, light a charcoal disc and place it in your resin incense burner. Once the charcoal is glowing and covered with grey ash, add a small piece of resin. The heat will cause the resin to melt and release its aromatic smoke.

Be sure to handle the charcoal with tongs to avoid burns and keep the burner on a heat-resistant surface.
