Incenses contain a mixture of natural and unnatural ingredients that create small, inhalable particulate matter, but all the products manufactured by Incenza are 100% natural and safe.
Incense can generally be separated into two main types: “indirect-burning” and “direct-burning”. Indirect-burning incense (or “non-combustible incense”) is not capable of burning on its own and requires a separate heat source.
A typical composition of stick incense consists of 21% (by weight) of herbal and wood powder, 35% of fragrance material, 11% of adhesive powder, and 33% of bamboo stick. Incense smoke (fumes) contains particulate matter (PM), gas products, and many organic compounds. The basic ingredients of an incense stick are bamboo sticks, paste (generally made of charcoal powder or wood powder, and joss/gum/tabu powder – an adhesive made from the bark of litsea glutinosa and other trees).
Natural incense sticks are widely used in many religious practices as they awaken the senses. … Every natural incense stick has been handcrafted with the finest, purest ingredients that are vegan, natural, chemical-free, and free from synthetics.
Firstly, always look for the incense that says ‘Natural’, this means that the incense is made up of 100% natural ingredients and does not contain any chemicals. The next step is to check whether the incense products are not dipped into any potent perfume oil to make their fragrance stronger and overpowering. Always look to buy incense sticks made out of pure herbs as they give out cleaner smoke and a smoother fragrance.
Children are sensitive thus more likely to be adversely affected by the essential oils than adults, hence it is important to use them safely. “Concentrated oils are highly potent and can be risky if not used on children correctly,”
Incense is used for aesthetic reasons, religious worship, aromatherapy, meditation, and ceremony. It may also be used as a simple deodorant or insect repellent. Incense is composed of aromatic plant materials, often combined with essential oils.
Both candles and incense contribute to indoor air quality. The smoke and particle matter released from the burning of incense is equally lethal. The best alternative is the use of ‘No Charcoal’ all-natural ingredient made incense sticks
