Ascent Karuna

Our incense starts with a sustainably grown bamboo stick. A thick paste of reclaimed rubber tree wood powder, Indian laurel bark powder (a natural gum, also known as jiggat), and water are coated onto the stick. The sticks are sun-dried for several days and then infused with a blend of oils unique to each scent.

Our incense is made using sustainably harvested rubber tree waste wood reclaimed from the furniture-making industry. Plantation-grown rubber tree wood is harvested after 25-30 years, once its rubber production has dwindled. That wood is used in the furniture industry, we reclaim the sawdust and remnant wood, and use it to produce our incense.
