Makko Powder is one of the best materials to use for formulating your own incense sticks or cones. It binds and holds your blends together while helping them burn smoothly and easily. It is perfect for using with higher yields of tree resins. 

As a self-combusting material, you can also create loose incense blends to burn inside a fireproof bowl (on top of sand)

Sourced ethically and sustainably direct from Japan, the pure ground bark of the Machilus Thunbergii tree. This is a very high grade ingredient which is incredibly easy to work with, and excellent for all new comers to incense crafting.

Making your own incense is incredibly rewarding and healing. You can choose all your own natural ingredients and trust they are pure and clean.

Always check for the latin name as some suppliers do not know the difference between joss powder and makko powder. Makko powder is a lighter shade of brown, when mixed ti forms a soft dough that is very easy to use and roll. Joss Powder is also an excellent alternative, it is darker, and when mixed is stickier and very pliable. They are both excellent binders for making incense and losse self combusting incense. They are slightly different so make sure you choose the right one.

JOss powder is a very strong adhesive type ingredient best for using with dry ingredients such as wood powders. Makko is a beautiful all rounder that works best with higher amounts of incense tree resins. Of course you can use them both together if you are using high amounts of powdered herbs etc, such as sage where it helps the ingredients stick together better.
