Palo Santo Sticks from Peru Sustainable Harvest Bursera Graveolens Sacred Wood Incense Wood

After travelling for more than 50 kilometers, our community’s farmers collect parts of Palo Santo trees that fall and dry naturally for at least 5 years. We don’t and we can’t cut trees. 

The only way for Palo Santo to carry scent and holistic benefits is by naturally aging after it dries. After the minimum time has been reached, our master artisans carve the wood in order to obtain smaller logs and sticks that we then select into categories. Each stick is made by hand.

In the dry woods of Peru there are several areas protected by the Forestry Administration that only authorize native communities like ours to responsibly use the excess of wood from the Bursera Graveolens species.

Help protect Palo Santo trees and Peruvian handicrafts by purchasing only from a sustainable and local source.

Authentic Palo Santo has a citrusy and woody scent with a few sweet notes depending on how much oil / resin the wood is holding. You can make sure it is authentic Palo Santo by the way the wood starts burning or how the smoke tends to come out.

Once you light a Palo Santo stick you should see red embers forming in the smoked parts of the wood that had contact with the fire. When it is lit, the fire starts to consume the tip of the stick and grows in time, until you turn it off and the smoke turns from black to light gray or white.

Protecting Palo Santo trees and contributing to our native community is our main focus while perfecting the crafts of Palo Santo in Peru and developing more opportunities for our master artisans, families and team.

Crafting items like Palo Santo sticks, incense cones, incense sticks and more we have achieved continuous growth in the holistic and aromatic industries, from a sustainable and ethical base.

Our community and team encourage the use of Palo Santo from sustainable sources like ours, without restrictions of race, nationality or religious belief. Our culture is to share these natural creations with the world, opening a door to peruvian craftsmanship.

We create aromatic and holistic experiences that are 100% natural and therapeutic, committed to high-quality craftsmanship and authentic elements.

The standards for high quality palo santo creations are a careful selection of wood, according to the right measurements, humidity percentage and oil / resin content.
