Hand Dipped Incense

All of our hand dipped incense is made using only high quality oils. The only additive is DPG (dipropylene glycol) which is a high quality non-toxic perfume base. This is a necessary ingredient as using 100% oil makes incense which is too smokey and does not burn well.

Incense cones and sticks are submerged until all of the oil has been absorbed, rather than being temporarily dipped, or sprayed with oil. As a result the scent is more powerful and long-lasting. Finished incense cones and sticks really do smell good enough to eat, although we advise that you resist this temptation!

Incense cones are sometimes hard to keep lit (especially when the environment is wet and cold). In order to burn the cones need to be warmed properly. To cobat this problem, light the tip of the cone then place it in an incense burner. Allow the flame to travel at least half way down the cone before gently blowing it out. The tip of the cone will still be glowing and the body of the cone will be warm so it should now burn perfectly.

Please take care when lighting and burning incense.
