If you're serious about making incense, the binder you use matters. This 100% pure Makko powder is sourced directly from Japan — derived from the bark of the Machilus thunbergii tree (sometimes called tabunoki) — and it's the same powder used in-house at The World Makes Scents. Clean, scent-free, and sustainably harvested for over 25 years, it's a reliable foundation for cones, sticks, and everything in between. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the craft of incense making.
