INCENSE WATERFALL CONES INGREDIENTS HOW TO
We have already written extensively on the topic of how to make incense sticks, and today we want to take you behind-the-scenes of our waterfall cones. Making all natural, high quality incense cones that smell as great as they look Simply put, this is why almost all of the incense waterfall cones on the market today do not have a pleasant aroma. And as more fragrant woods typically contain more oil, and are harder to burn, the cheaper incense ingredients also just don’t smell very nice. These cost and time considerations have prompted many incense cone manufacturers to simply opt for low grade, easy to burn ingredients. This can require sophisticated tweaks to the incense recipe, and a fairly time consuming process of trialing different formulae.
This is due to the shape - the burning surface becomes increasingly bigger as the cone is burnt. Moreover, incense cones are more difficult to stay lit compared to incense sticks. They dry much slower than incense sticks due to their shape and weight – for us it can take up to a week for backflow incense cones to thoroughly dry – so the slower production time and the increased amount of space required to dry them also add to costs. The making of a high quality, all natural incense cone is an expensive affair - each incense cone is several times the weight of an incense stick, so the raw materials cost is also several times higher than an incense stick.

So finally, after two years of searching, we realized that we could not find a factory to accommodate the incense quality level we were striving for. We wanted incense that smelled more aromatic, burnt for longer, and still had the amazing visual effect. We released our original collection, but were not content to stop there. When we released our original backflow incense cone collection, we spent months looking for a factory that could work with us to make good quality waterfall incense cone. This is especially true of the of the brightly (ie, chemically) colored varieties I’ve often seen sold on popular shopping platforms.
