Sagrada Madre's Revolutionary Fruit Base

Sustainability in Incense

Harmony in Nature: A Circular Approach

At the heart of Sagrada Madre's incense lies a remarkable story of transformation. The foundation for the incense products consists of the dry matter from apples and pears – a residual stream that would normally be considered waste in fruit juice factories. By using this fruit biomass as a natural binder, Sagrada Madre gives a second life to what would otherwise be lost.

The process is as simple as it is ingenious: the fruit pulp is converted through sun-drying into an organic raw material with a neutral scent. This natural base doesn't interfere with the sacred fragrances of the incense but actually enhances them. Annually, more than 100 tons of fruit pulp is repurposed in this way as a binder for incense sticks and other incense products.

Deep-rooted Commitment to Sustainability

Sagrada Madre's use of fruit biomass is just one aspect of a broader commitment to ecological responsibility. Sagrada Madre strives to minimize the ecological footprint at every stage of the production process. This is reflected in concrete actions:

• Out of respect for the sanctity of trees, Sagrada Madre exclusively uses Palo Santo wood from naturally fallen branches, without cutting down trees.
• Through the Palo Santo Reforestation Project, Sagrada Madre collaborates with indigenous communities in Peru and Argentina to plant new Palo Santo trees.
• Sagrada Madre is actively involved in the fight against deforestation by ensuring that more trees are planted than are used for the products.

Sagrada Madre: More Than a Brand

The name 'Sagrada Madre' means 'Holy Mother' – a reference to a deep respect for Mother Earth. This is not a superficial marketing technique, but a genuine philosophy that permeates every aspect of the business operations.

Sagrada Madre is dedicated to creating high-quality, natural products that honor traditional practices and the earth. The range includes various products inspired by ancient wisdom and spiritual traditions, including incense, smudge sticks, and ritual tools.

By combining natural ingredients with careful craftsmanship, Sagrada Madre creates a harmonious experience that helps connect with nature and your inner self. Sagrada Madre is synonymous with authenticity and purity in all products, as well as a profound respect for the natural environment.

A Greener Future Perspective

Through this innovative approach, Sagrada Madre demonstrates how conscious production can play an active role in creating a more sustainable future for humanity. This model of 'upcycling' – where waste streams are transformed into valuable raw materials – offers inspiration for how we can think differently about production and consumption.

In a time when the challenges for our planet seem greater than ever, Sagrada Madre reminds us that every step counts. By making conscious choices in production and consumption, we can contribute to a world where economy and ecology go hand in hand – a vision embodied in every incense stick that leaves the Sagrada Madre workshop.
