Palo Santo

808’s  Palo Santo is harvested from the Ecuadorean Rainforest and only after it has fallen its partnered communities never cut down the  Palo Santo trees… infact it is illegal to do so under Ecuador strict conservation laws. Only after strong annual storms knock Palo Santo trees down the fallen wood must remain on the forest floor for up to a decade to allow the aromatic resins to develop and cure. When the Apollo Santo tree falls in the Ecuadorean rainforest our partners plant more since their inception in 2008 Palo Santo supplier has worked with their partner communities to plant tens of thousands of Palo Santo trees, ensuring abundance for generations to come. Gathering Palo Santo has brought livelihood to many families in the Ecuador and coastal forest. 808’s believes that when communities earn  just livelihood in harmony with nature, everyone benefits.
