Incense resins are among the most ancient and treasured aromatic materials in the world—formed from the hardened sap of sacred trees such as frankincense, myrrh, copal, and benzoin. For thousands of years, they have been revered in spiritual rituals, meditation, and purification ceremonies, releasing deep, complex fragrances that elevate both space and spirit.

 

Frankincense and myrrh, in particular, have held a place of honor across cultures for their spiritual significance and their use in traditional medicine, skincare, and perfumery.

Our resins are 100% natural,  sourced directly from plants around the world, with no artificial scents or chemicals added. We ship them in their raw, unprocessed form so you can fully appreciate the unique colors, textures, and characteristics of each variety.

Most resins arrive hard and dry, making them easy to grind with a mortar and pestle straight from the package. Some varieties, however, are softer and stickier. For these, simply place the resin in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour to firm it up before grinding.

If you have hard pieces larger than ½ inch, place them in a heavy-duty zip-top bag and gently tap with a hammer to break them into smaller, more manageable pieces before grinding.

For best results, use a deep, heavy mortar with a smooth, non-porous surface, such as stainless steel or brass. Avoid mortars made of wood, porous stone, or unglazed clay, as they can absorb resin and aroma.

To remove used incense from the bowl, place the used bowl (cool down) in a freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is hardened. Then, pry out the hardened incense with a flathead screwdriver or similar tool.

Do not handle hot incense bowl; burn risk.
