Also known as Bursera graveolens, each of them are carefully and ethically sourced from Peru and Ecuador. Palo Santo is known as "holy wood" and is widely used for smudging and cleansing as it is believed to release its purifying properties when burned due to the high oil and resin content.
The Palo Santo wood I carry are ethically sourced as no living tree is harmed when harvesting. Only wood taken from naturally fallen trees and are gathered in nature, split by hand.
They are certified ethical origin, and work alongside environmental agencies such as MAGAP (Ecuador), SERFOR (Peru), & the USDA (US) to support the protection & reforestation of the South American Dry Forests, from which our beloved Palo Santo tree grows its roots.
Peruvian - Slightly larger and has a more rectangular shape, emitting "spicier" notes of citrus, mint, and a diesel-like scent. Ecuadorian -Slightly smaller and rounded in shape, these sticks exude "sweeter" aromas of cinnamon, vanilla, and coconut.
