Why we developed this product
The world is full of synthetic fragrances all around us, it's still uncertain how these affect us, but some studies suggest that exposure to these fragrances can be linked to various health problems, including respiratory issues, headaches, and skin irritation*. On the contrary, the human body has been exposed to natural incense from burning wood, plants, and herbs for millions of years before reaching the modern age. In that sense natural incense is something our bodies are accustomed to. Many incense sticks unfortunately contain synthetic ingredients, without mentioning it. We developed our incense sticks to provide truly natural incense created using certified natural essential oils and other ingredients. These oils and herbs have been proven to provide various aromatic wellness effects such as calming and uplifting**. We want our incense to be for everyday relaxation and mindfulness, creating space for self-care.
