Natural Incense Sticks

Most incense is a bamboo stick dipped in a charcoal coating and synthetic fragrance. You're burning the coating, and that's what causes harsh smoke and headaches.

Looshi sticks are hand rolled around a bamboo core from aromatic wood powders, wild raw honey, and natural oils by women artisans in Karnataka, India, led by Richa, a third generation incense maker.

Aromatic wood powders give every stick its base, and natural aromatic oils carry the notes you smell, like the sandalwood and jasmine in Clarify. Wild raw honey binds it all around a bamboo core, and the sticks cure for three weeks so the honey dries and the scent settles.

No synthetic fragrance, no chemical binders or adhesives, no charcoal coating and no dipping. A Looshi stick is a bamboo core, aromatic wood powders, wild raw honey, activated coconut charcoal and natural aromatic oils, hand rolled and cured for three weeks so the honey dries and the scent settles.

Honey has held incense together for centuries. Wild raw honey binds the fine wood powders, and its warm, sweet aroma rounds out the oils and spices.

Coconut activated charcoal is made from coconut husk, and it is clean and sustainable.

It is odorless and Non-toxic and does not contain chemical agents that can contaminate.

Yes. The natural aromatic oils we use are carefully selected, and nothing in our sticks is synthetic: no synthetic fragrance, no chemical binders and no charcoal coating.

Nothing in a Looshi stick is synthetic: no synthetic fragrance, no chemical binders and no charcoal coating, the coating that makes most incense smoke harsh. It is still incense, so it makes smoke. Burn it in a room with a window open, one stick at a time, and keep lit sticks and ash out of reach of children and pets.
