PRODUCT & STOCK

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ECUADORIAN VS. PERUVIAN-ORIGIN PALO SANTO?

As with many natural products, one can experience subtle differences when utilizing materials of different geographical origin. Just as coffee beans from different parts of the world can vary in their end-product, Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) trees also vary in their aromatic nuances depending on their particular geo-regional source. At the most fundamental level, our Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) wood of Ecuadorian-origin is slightly more petite in size & rounded in shape, with "sweeter" notes of cinnamon, vanilla, & coconut. Our Peruvian-origin is slightly larger in size & and more rectangular in shape, with the "spicier" notes of citrus, mint, and diesel. Both can exhibit aromatic notes of the other, depending on the particular pieces of wood.

They are both very lovely & are simply two different varietals of our beloved Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) wood.

Please note the stick counts do slightly vary between the two, and you can find approximate estimates directly on our product listing pages.

What is Palo Santo Fruit?

Meet the Fruit of Palo Santo: a 100% Annually-Regenerative Palo Santo product!

We're excited to introduce the most sustainable Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) product available to-date. The fruit of Palo Santo is collected using an annually regenerative and zero-harm harvest model. By utilizing the fruit of living Palo Santo trees, we are able to generate additional economic opportunities for the local communities during the fruit's seasonal harvest. Its aroma is distinctly unique from its wooden counterpart, while still retaining that signature aromatic nature of our beloved Palo Santo. It is best described as a floral-like & "bright" citrus aroma profile, making an excellent choice for all types of wellness applications. We recommend using our Palo Santo Fruit EO with an essential oil diffuser for a pleasantly wonderful & smoke-free ambiance.

For our Palo Santo lovers, this rare & unique essential oil is a special treat!

What is the difference between Palo Santo Wood Essential Oil & Palo Santo Fruit Essential Oil?

Our 100% Pure Palo Santo Fruit Essential Oil, is steam distilled from the FRUIT of the Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) tree. It's distinctly unique and makes a wonderful compliment to our Palo Santo Wood Essential Oil. The Fruit EO is an annually-regenerative product & is described as being a brighter & more "floral-like” aroma mixed with the notes of citrus. Our Palo Santo Wood EO is also steam distilled, and embodies that classic Palo Santo aroma in a densely-potent and sweet concentration of naturally-occurring oils from the heartwood itself, using mindfully-gathered fallen wood for the material inputs. Both oils are used for space cleansing and are great for utilizing directly in a diffuser and/or various topical applications (just be sure to dilute with a carrier oil before applying to your skin to check for sensitivities, as with any pure EOs).

PRODUCT AUTHENTICITY

I'm seeing a dark smoke coming from my Palo Santo Stick after lighting?

Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) wood comes in many different forms & ranges across a wide spectrum of appearance in its color gradient, shape, resin densities, and aromatic profiles. Dark smoke is most often a byproduct of wood that is rich in its naturally occurring resins. When you burn a piece of Palo Santo that contains a dense concentration of the wood's internally-occurring resin, you are essentially putting an open flame to oil, hence the result of a dark smoke. Typically when you have a stick of this nature, the smoke will burn black while it is being lit & then fade into a a traditional translucent smoke color once the flame is extinguished. Sticks that are not as resin-heavy can actually burn more smoothly, albeit they are less-rich in the wood's natural oils. All of our bulk batches contain a balanced collection of mid-to-high resin wood. We recommend getting the most efficient use out of these particularly rich sticks by shaving small amounts of the wood on top of a coconut coal for a smooth & continuous burn. Carefully shaving small pieces of the wood is also a great way to prolong your use of each stick and responsibly use 100% of every last piece!

Are Palo Santo Sticks ever "Dipped in Oil?"

It is a common misconception that reputable Palo Santo vendors are "dipping Palo Santo sticks in oil." This belief results from the occasional oil residues you will find on sticks that have been cut to smaller sizes. Any oil that is visibly present on a Palo Santo stick in its natural state or "bubbling while burning" is naturally-occurring & is entirely A-OK!

How can I distinguish "fake" Palo Santo from "real" Palo Santo?

There is a fair amount of confusing misinformation out there concerning the "authenticity" of Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) products. More often than not, customers are simply unaware of the nuances between the various quality grades and geographical-origins of Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) wood. As with most natural products, there is also a wide variation in terms of shapes, sizes, coloration, and resin-saturation across all different batches of bulk sticks. Often times, people will only be familiar with Ecuadorian or Peruvian-origin, and will naturally be skeptical when they receive a product from a region different than they are previously familiar with. While there are of course many parallels (as it is the same wood) the aromatic notes between Peruvian vs. Ecuadorian origin product are each distinctly unique as well. Both low-resin and/or high resin sticks reflect the relative amount of naturally-occurring oils within the wood, not the authenticity of the product.
