A reliable source of Ecuadorian Bursera graveolens
Finding a Palo Santo supplier is easy. Finding a supplier you can trust for consistent quality, traceable origin and reliable long-term supply is much harder.
EcuadorianHands is an Ecuador-based company specializing in Bursera graveolens (Palo Santo). For more than 20 years, we have worked with international retailers, wellness businesses, brands and distributors looking to source Palo Santo directly from Ecuador.
Our focus is not simply selling wood by the kilogram. We build long-term supply relationships based on origin, quality, traceability, responsible sourcing and reliable international service.
Why Choosing the Right Palo Santo Supplier Matters
Palo Santo has become a global product, but not all Palo Santo supply chains are the same.
When purchasing wholesale, price per kilogram is only one part of the equation.
A professional buyer should also consider:
- Botanical species and geographic origin
- Sourcing practices
- Traceability
- Product quality and consistency
- Stick size and selection
- Aroma and resin content
- Moisture and storage
- Export documentation
- Supply capacity
- Communication and customer service
- Consistency between repeat orders
A low purchase price can become expensive if the product is inconsistent, difficult to reorder or does not meet the requirements of your market.
The right supplier should provide more than a low price per kilogram.
Professional buyers should evaluate the total value, reliability and traceability of the supply relationship.
Direct Palo Santo Supply from Ecuador
EcuadorianHands supplies Palo Santo directly from Ecuador, the country where our business and sourcing operations are based.
Our specialization is Ecuadorian Bursera graveolens, allowing us to develop long-term knowledge of the species, its dry-forest ecosystem and the requirements of international buyers.
By working directly with an Ecuadorian supplier, businesses can establish a closer relationship with the source of their Palo Santo and reduce unnecessary layers between origin and destination.

Bursera graveolens: The Palo Santo We Supply
Our wholesale Palo Santo is Bursera graveolens, a native tree of the dry forests of Ecuador and neighboring regions of South America.
For professional buyers, clearly identifying the botanical species is important.
When evaluating a Palo Santo supplier, ask:
- What species am I buying?
- Where was it sourced?
- Can the supplier explain its origin?
- Can the supplier provide the documentation required for international trade?
At EcuadorianHands, we clearly identify our Palo Santo as Bursera graveolens and focus our business on this species.
Naturally Fallen Palo Santo
Our sourcing model is based on naturally fallen Palo Santo wood.
We do not harvest living Palo Santo trees for commercial production.
Palo Santo sourcing requires patience. After a tree naturally dies, the wood remains in the forest before it is collected and processed.
This approach connects our commercial activity to the long-term conservation of the dry forest ecosystem.
From Forest to International Customer
Traceability is increasingly important for businesses selling natural products.
This approach allows us to maintain greater control over the product and its origin than a purely transactional commodity supply chain.
For brands and retailers, this means greater confidence in what they are putting on their shelves or using in their products.
Quality Matters More Than Price per Kilogram
Two Palo Santo products can have very different commercial value even when both are sold by kilogram.
Professional buyers should consider:
- Stick dimensions
- Wood density
- Aroma
- Resin content
- Moisture
- Selection
- Breakage
- Waste
- Consistency between lots
For a retailer, poor selection can mean more waste and an inferior customer experience.
For a manufacturer, inconsistent raw material can affect the final product.
For a distributor, inconsistent quality can make repeat orders difficult.
Our objective is to provide consistent Ecuadorian Palo Santo suitable for professional wholesale use.
Export Experience from Ecuador
International Palo Santo trade requires more than having the product available.
Depending on the destination and product, buyers may need appropriate export, phytosanitary and customs documentation.
EcuadorianHands has more than 20 years of experience working with international customers, giving us practical knowledge of the requirements involved in exporting Palo Santo from Ecuador.
We help buyers understand the available product, documentation and shipping options for their destination.
Responsible Sourcing Beyond the Product
We believe sustainability must be connected to measurable action.
Our work extends beyond selling Palo Santo.
- Reforestation
- Dry-forest conservation
- Environmental education
- Research into native species
- Responsible Palo Santo sourcing
- Product utilization and waste reduction
We have also established the Bosque y Vegetación Protector EcuadorianHands , a protected forest area in Manabí, Ecuador.
Our objective is to build a business model in which the conservation of the dry forest and the commercial value of Palo Santo reinforce one another.
Wholesale Palo Santo Formats
Depending on your business requirements, EcuadorianHands supplies different Palo Santo formats, including:
- Palo Santo sticks
- Palo Santo powder
- Palo Santo essential oil
- Other Palo Santo formats and customized presentations
If you are unsure which format or quantity is most appropriate for your business, contact us with your application and estimated volume.

How to Order Wholesale Palo Santo from Ecuador
Sourcing Palo Santo for your shop or brand directly from origin is a straightforward process when you work with a supplier who controls the entire chain, from forest to shipment. We have over 20 Years of Market Expertise. As trusted pioneers in the industry, we have spent more than two decades perfecting our sustainable harvesting methods and global logistics. Here is exactly how it works with EcuadorianHands:
- 1. Simply browse the Palo Santo Wholesale catalog and order directly.
- 2. Request a sample (optional) However, before committing to a full order, you can order a sample so you can evaluate aroma, density, and burn quality — the same criteria we recommend in our own supplier evaluation guide.
- 3. After you place your order, we prepare your export documentation. Every wholesale shipment leaves Ecuador with AGROCALIDAD certification (Ecuador's national phytosanitary authority) and the phytosanitary paperwork required for customs clearance in your destination country.
- 4. Your order ships directly from Manta, Ecuador. No intermediaries, no re-sellers — packed and shipped from our own facilities near the Protected Nature Reserve.
- 5. Receive, verify, and reorder. Once your shop or brand has tested the product with your customers, most wholesale partners move to a recurring order schedule. The complete process takes 5 to 15 working days after payment is received.

Palo Santo Wholesale Pricing & MOQs
We know that pricing and minimum order quantities (MOQs) are usually the first questions on a shop owner's mind — so here is how our program is structured.
Unlike industrial exporters who often require 100kg or more per order, our wholesale program is built for independent shops, yoga studios, spas, and wellness brands that don't need — or want — industrial volumes. Pricing is tiered by product line and quantity: incense sticks, ground powder, essential oil, and hydrosol each have their own volume breakpoints.
- Minimum order quantities: accessible entry points for a first order, scaled up for repeat wholesale partners.
- Volume pricing: the more you order, the lower your per-unit cost.
- Sample orders: available before your first full wholesale purchase, so you can test quality with zero commitment.
Because genuine, naturally-fallen Palo Santo has a limited and seasonal supply, we're cautious about suppliers — including us — who offer very large volumes at very low prices with no explanation. Learn what a fair wholesale price should reflect.

Shipping & Customs: What Importers Need to Know
International shipping is usually the biggest source of anxiety for a shop owner importing Palo Santo for the first time — and it's exactly where an inexperienced supplier causes the most damage. Here's what you should expect when you order from EcuadorianHands.
Export documentation we provide
- AGROCALIDAD export certification for every wholesale shipment, confirming the product is legally harvested and cleared for export from Ecuador.
- Phytosanitary certificates, required by most destination countries' customs authorities for imported plant-based products.
- Certificate of origin and commercial invoice, prepared for your country's specific import requirements.
Shipping options
We ship worldwide from our facilities in Manta, Ecuador. We usually ship by DHL, Fedex or UPS. Depending on your order size and urgency, we can discuss air freight (faster, better for smaller or time-sensitive orders) or sea freight (more economical for larger volume orders).
What to expect at customs
Because Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) is a regulated species, customs authorities in some countries will check for proper documentation. This is normal — and it's exactly why sourcing from a supplier who provides complete AGROCALIDAD and phytosanitary paperwork matters. We prepare this documentation as a standard part of every order, not as an add-on.

Certifications: AGROCALIDAD & Ministry of Environment
Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) is a regulated species in Ecuador, and its legal export requires official government certification — not a marketing claim on a website.
- AGROCALIDAD certification: confirms our Palo Santo is harvested and exported in compliance with Ecuadorian agricultural and phytosanitary regulation. View our certification.
- Ecuadorian Ministry of Environment recognition: our source forest is an officially declared Protected Nature Reserve — Forest and Vegetation Protector #170 — meaning the land itself, not just the product, is under government-recognized conservation status.
- Species verification: every batch is confirmed Bursera graveolens, not the endangered, CITES-restricted Bulnesia sarmientoi sometimes mislabeled as "Palo Santo" by less transparent suppliers.
These aren't optional extras — for a wholesale buyer, they're what stands between a legal shipment and one confiscated at customs. Read our full guide on evaluating supplier certifications.
Sustainability Report: Our Reforestation Impact
Every wholesale order you place funds an active, ongoing reforestation program in Manabí, Ecuador — not a one-time donation, but a structural part of how we operate.
The numbers so far
- +12,000 Palo Santo trees reforested since 2015, as part of our long-term native forest restoration work in Manabí.
- Zero living trees cut, ever. All harvested wood comes from trees that died naturally after a 30-year life cycle and rested at least 2 years on the forest floor — what we call the 30+2 rule. See Our Bulk Sticks
- A government-recognized Protected Nature Reserve (Forest and Vegetation Protector #170), declared by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Environment — not a self-declared "sustainable" label.
Why this matters for your shop
Modern consumers increasingly research the brands and products they buy. When you source from EcuadorianHands, you're not just buying Palo Santo — you're getting a transparent, documented sustainability story you can share with your own customers: real numbers, a real protected reserve, and a harvesting method that predates the current wellness boom by nearly two decades.
Read the full story of our Protected Nature Reserve or see how the 30+2 rule defines everything we harvest.

Frequently Asked Questions for Shops & Retailers
Do you ship directly from Ecuador?
Yes. We control 100% of the supply chain. Every order is packed and shipped directly from our facilities at the origin in Ecuador, guaranteeing freshness, traceability, and the authentic aroma of real Bursera graveolens.
Will I have issues with customs or receiving my order?
With over 20 years of international export experience, we have a structured logistical system. Every shipment includes AGROCALIDAD and phytosanitary documentation, which is what most destination countries require for customs clearance and smooth delivery process directly to your storefront.
Is your Palo Santo legally and responsibly harvested?
Yes. Our Palo Santo comes from naturally fallen trees within our government-recognized Protected Nature Reserve in Manabí. We never cut living trees — every stick and gram of powder follows the 30+2 rule: a natural 30-year life cycle followed by at least 2 years resting on the forest floor.
What are your minimum order requirements (MOQs)?
Our program is structured for independent shops and wellness brands, not industrial buyers — so minimums are set well below typical industrial export volumes. Please go to our palo santo wholesale category to confirm exact MOQ on sticks, powder, essential oil, hydrosol.
Can I request a sample before placing a wholesale order?
Yes. You can order it. Evaluate the aroma when you first open the package, the density of the wood, and how it burns — the scent should be immediate and rich, citrusy and woody, never faint or chemically altered.
How is your Palo Santo different from cheaper suppliers?
Cheaper Palo Santo is often either Bulnesia sarmientoi (a different, CITES-restricted species mislabeled as "Palo Santo") or wood that was cut before it naturally aged, which produces a weaker aroma and lower resin content. We only supply verified Bursera graveolens, naturally fallen and rested under the 30+2 rule.
What shipping methods do you offer, and how long does delivery take?
We ship worldwide via air and sea freight depending on order size. We usually ship within 5-7 days after receive payment. Then transit is 5-7 days depending on the courier and customs at destination.
How does my wholesale purchase support the environment?
Every wholesale order helps fund our long-term native tree reforestation program in Manabí — over 12,000 Palo Santo trees reforested since 2015 — plus fair-trade jobs and educational resources for the local communities that protect the dry forest.
Do you work with businesses outside the US and Europe?
Yes, we supply wholesale partners across the US, Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, and the UK. We ship worldwide.
