What is Natural Incense?
At JAU, we love to preach the benefits of Natural Incense, as seen in our brands Tribe Earth and Subtle Bodies. As the term suggests, Natural Incense is crafted using natural ingredients; whole plants, herbs, tree resins, gums, or wood powders give the incense its pure burn and distinctively organic scent as opposed to perfume-like scent.
The beauty of Natural Incense lies in its exclusion of synthetic materials like artificial fragrances and burning accelerants. This can help reduce issues such as nasty headaches often caused by heavily fragranced products. In addition, Natural Incense brands tend to be more transparent about their ingredients, allowing users to better understand what they are introducing into their space. This level of transparency is especially valuable for those using incense for aromatherapeutic purposes, as it makes it easier to choose ingredients that support stress reduction, meditation, air purification, and overall mood enhancement.

Sun dried Natural Incense
by Tribe Earth
Tribe Earth is truly a quintessential Natural Incense brand.
Each incense plank contains a blend of local organic plant matter that are hand sourced from the forest floors. These plants are ground into powder, mixed with alkalised water and hand kneaded. That dough is then shaped into a plank, cut, then dehydrated under the hot Australian sun.
100% hand made natural incense. No Glues. No Perfumes. Just plant matter. Tribe Earth incense will burn smokey and strong. A small piece will last about 5-10 minutes but it will fill your space with the relaxing scents of the Australian nature long after it has finished burning.

Subtle Bodies
Subtle Bodies is inspired by years of exploration and travel around the world. Their Natural Incense highlights the distinct character of each fragrant wood in its purest form. Instead of blending different woods, each incense is made from a single, carefully sourced wood from one region.
Made without added fragrances or oils, each incense contains only fragrant wood and Machilus thunbergii, a natural binder. The brand is guided by a long-term commitment to sustainability, sourcing materials from forests known for responsible regeneration. The result is a light, clean smoke that is well-suited for indoor spaces, including apartments.
