Pure Copal Incense | Sagrada Madre

Pure Peruvian Copal Resin on a Stick

Sagrada Madre's Pure Copal incense is made with genuine Peruvian copal resin, a natural binder, and salt. Nothing else. Copal is a tree resin related to frankincense and myrrh, and it produces a clean, bright, slightly sweet smoke with hints of wild herbs and a fresh, almost citrus-like edge. Each box contains eight nine-inch sticks, burning for approximately 50 minutes each.

Copal: The Incense of the Earth

Known as "the incense of the earth" in Central and South American tradition, copal resin has been burned by Maya and Inca civilisations for generations during ceremonies, offerings, and space cleansing. The word "copal" comes from the Nahuatl word copalli, meaning incense or resin. Unlike processed incense that relies on fragrance oils, copal's scent comes directly from the resin itself, giving it an unmistakable raw, natural character.

Sagrada Madre uses pure Peruvian copal, which tends to have a lighter, brighter profile compared to Mexican copal. The smoke is white and clean, not heavy or cloying.

Wholesale Notes

Copal appeals to a specific segment: customers who know their resins and seek traditional cleansing materials beyond the usual sage and Palo Santo. It sells well in smartshops and shamanic supply contexts. For customers new to copal, the stick format is much more approachable than loose resin (which requires charcoal). Consider stocking the charcoal discs alongside for customers who also want to burn loose resin or powder from the Sagrada Madre range.
