Review: BEST quality Makko Powder on the market! - Very fine powder, binds ingredients very well! Also helps the cones burn evenly, I have used other makko powders that are more fragrant. I prefer this brand. It doesnt overpower the other ingredients and helps achieve the desired scent and burn time. I like to create backflow cones, burns exactly how it should. I highly enjoy the amount all their line of powders come in.
Review: Yay it burns! - I’ve made my own incense cones before but they always just burned for a second and then stopped. Then saw somewhere that makko powder is the key for incense to continue burning. And it did the trick! My cones burn all the way through no having to constantly relight it

## Features

- Great beginners incense powder. If you use 50% or more makko, you can simply add other fragrant ingredients to make cones or sticks.
- Makko, also known as Tabunoki or Tabu no Ki in Japan, is 100% pure bark from the Machilus thunbergii tree. No additives—just pure, natural bark.
- Japanese incense is renowned worldwide, largely due to their access to this unique tree bark. This bark serves as both a base and binder in incense making, with a low scent profile that allows your chosen fragrances to shine.
- You receive 100g (3.5 oz) of pure Makko powder, with no bag weight included in the measurement. A little goes a long way
- The bag features a durable ziplock for easy resealing between uses.
