Collection: Incense
We sell the Sagrada Madre brand, including their incense, smudge resin, and smudge balls.
Sagrada Madre translates best as 'Holy Mother', Mother Earth, Pacha Mama; the pure, unadulterated, earthy, and energetically feminine power.
Sagrada Madre is originally a family business from Argentina dedicated to offering natural incense and smudge products.
Here, they work with reverence for Mother Earth (Pacha Mama).
With this awareness, the incense products are made from ecological, local, and sustainable products, and fair, "Fairtrade" labor is used.
Sagrada Madre was founded by two brothers in 2018 in Argentina, with the intention of creating high-quality and innovative incense and smudge products. It quickly became a family business, with friends also involved in one way or another. The company has since grown further and now provides work and income for as many as a hundred families. 50% of the employees are women, including many single mothers.
The company operates on various Fairtrade levels: through the ingredients used, how employees are paid, and how local (but now also international) resellers can sell their products. Most of the flowers, resins, and herbs used in the incense are of local origin. There is direct contact, without intermediaries, with the growers and pickers. What the country itself cannot provide is purchased Fairtrade from other countries.
Together with the producers of the ingredients, workshops on sustainability and permaculture are organized. In this way, the company aims to contribute to the transition of the agricultural system to enable the most sustainable production possible in the long term.
From the beginning of its existence, Sagrada Madre has been involved in the reforestation of Palo Santo in Peru. They work directly with the indigenous communities in this country to ensure that at least as much, but preferably even more, is planted than used. In addition to these reforestation projects in Peru, they also contribute to planting trees across the globe.
They also support several animal shelters in Argentina.
By giving back to Mother Earth, they want to bring more peace, love, and positive energy to the world.
