What It's Made Of

Every Gulessence dhoop cone starts with a base of cow dung and recycled temple flowers — flowers collected from temples and repurposed instead of discarded into rivers. This is blended with traditional aromatic herbs and finished with 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) — traditional purifying resin, common in temple dhoop
• 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

Fragrance profile: Sandalwood. This is the scent character of the blend rather than a separately listed raw ingredient in the current ingredient panel.

Traditional & Ayurvedic Use

Sandalwood-fragranced dhoop has long been associated with meditation and temple settings in Indian tradition, valued for its calming scent. Jatamasi and nagarmotha are traditional Ayurvedic aromatics used in incense-making for centuries. 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.
