Sustainability
A Palo Santo tree lives for approximately 80 years and the wood is only used once the tree has been dead for 4-10 years. Our suppliers work with the local and tribal people to ensure the wood is sustainably harvested from fallen limbs or trees that have died naturally and been left for the time needed for its special properties to develop. This Palo Santo was sustainably harvested from a tree that died naturally and a new tree was planted in its place.
