Granular and powdered resin incense burns differently from a stick or cone — it needs direct heat from a charcoal disc or burner rather than a simple flame — and this collection covers altar blends, devotional resin mixes, and classic copal in loose form.
Loose Resin vs. Sticks and Cones
Because granular resin isn't pre-formed onto a stick, it burns hotter and produces a stronger, more concentrated scent than a comparable stick or cone; a little goes a long way. This format also lets you blend or layer different resins together.
Popular Resin Blends
Altar Blend and 7 Archangels resin incense are built for devotional and altar use, while White Copal and Three Kings resin are more traditional, classic resin fragrances.
How to Burn Granular Resin Incense
Light a charcoal disc until it sparks across its surface, place it in a heatproof Brass Incense Burner or censer, then sprinkle a small pinch of resin on top. Burn in a ventilated room away from flammable material and never leave it unattended.
