sustainable & ethical
Creating Looshi incense is a labor of love. We ensure that all of our partners are aligned with our values of sustainable, ethical production and natural, organic ingredients.
We work with artisans in small Indian communities to create our incense according to traditional methods passed down through generations.
We are proud to be a positive force in creating income and employment for the skilled women who lovingly manufacture our signature scents.
THE LOOSHI PHILOSOPHY
local, organic, made with love
At Looshi, we utilize natural, organic materials from sustainable sources whenever possible. We source our ingredients near the communities where our incense is made, and work with experienced local suppliers and producers who are aligned with our values and principles.
Raw Honey
We procure raw honey directly from beekeepers from different regions across Southern India, ensuring that our honey is sustainable and from a known source. Wild, raw honey produces a soft, warm, and sweet aroma when burned.
Wood Powders
Our wood mixtures are obtained directly from our essential oils suppliers. Natural wood powders containing essential oils provide an aromatic experience unlike any other, and are a key component in the rich, layered scents of Looshi incense.
Coconut Shell
We get our coconut shells from coconut-oil processing units. Typically, the shells would be thrown away after the inner pulp is extracted. Our sticks burn on these upcycled coconut shells, not coal, so nothing new is cut or mined for them, and they give a soft, even burn.
