What It's Made Of

Loban Dhoop Cones are built on Gulessence's core base of cow dung and recycled temple flowers, with loban resin as the defining ingredient, rounded out with traditional aromatic herbs and essential oils.

Ingredient Breakdown

• Cow Dung — core base material, traditionally used in havan and dhoop-making
• Temple Flower (recycled) — repurposed floral offerings, core to Gulessence's sustainability model
• Loban (Benzoin resin) — the defining ingredient in this variant; a resin long used in temple and havan dhoop for its purifying smoke
• Jatamasi — Ayurvedic herb traditionally used for a calming aroma
• Nagarmotha — aromatic root used traditionally in Indian incense-making
• Sugandh Kokila — aromatic bark, traditional incense ingredient
• Haubera — aromatic wood used in traditional dhoop blends
• Natural Herbs — supporting herbal blend
• Essential Oils — used for the finishing fragrance

Traditional & Ayurvedic Use

Loban has a long history in Indian temple and havan practice, traditionally burned to purify a space before rituals and ceremonies. It's one of the most widely used resins in traditional dhoop-making across Indian households. These are cultural and traditional associations, not medical claims.

How to Use

1. Hold a lit match to the tip of the dhoop cone until a flame appears.
2. Blow the flame out gently.
3. Place the smoldering cone on the included ceramic plate or a dhoop stand.

Non-edible and not for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children.

When to Use Loban Dhoop Cones

• Daily puja — as part of a regular morning or evening aarti routine
• Havan — loban is a traditional havan resin, pairs naturally with havan cups
• Festivals — Diwali, Navratri, and other occasions where dhoop is traditionally lit
• Meditation — to mark the start of a sitting practice
• Home fragrance — general use to scent living spaces

Loban vs Other Gulessence Dhoop Cone Variants

• Loban vs Sandalwood: Loban centers on the resin itself as a listed ingredient and leans into a traditional, purifying havan character. Sandalwood is built on the same cow dung and temple flower base but carries a sandalwood fragrance profile for a calmer, meditation-oriented scent.
