100% Natural Incense





Today, the incense used in churches is made from the resin of the Boswellia tree, an endangered species found mainly in Ethiopia, Somalia, and Sudan.

The Boswellia Project is the only initiative in the world that offers natural incense produced exclusively from sustainable sources.

While other incense products are imported and processed by companies in Europe, we make a difference by providing churches with natural incense that meets four key standards:


1. Original source
2. traditional production
3. Hypoallergenic Products
4. Without Artificial Colors or Aromas

Industrial incenses are not natural




1. Processed
