Zukoh Incense Powder

Zukoh is an extremely thin and smooth high-quality incense powder. It's made of the same natural ingredients as Japanese incense: cinnamon, cassia, sandalwood, borneol, star anise, etc. Its scent is delicate and soothing.

Buddhist monks have been using zukoh for centuries in order to purify themselves before ceremonies and meditation. They place some powder in their hands and then sprinkle it delicately on their head, body and clothes.

Just rub zukoh on your hands, body or clothes as a purification incense. You can use it on any pulse point, behind your ears or on your wrists. It's like entering a smooth perfumed mist of quality incense. The aroma will get more intense during the day with your body heat.
