Ash of kapok tree bark, Ceiba pentandra
Samauma is a Brazilian name of the kapok tree, Ceiba pentandra. For this product its bark has been burned and reduced to a pale grey powder, which the supplier lists with Brazil as the country of origin. The jar holds 50 g, as printed on the label, and no other size is offered. At Mycotrop it belongs to the Ashes category; the same tree also appears in the shop as unburned bark powder. Like all products here, the ash is sold strictly as a collectible or souvenir item.

About Ceiba pentandra
Ceiba pentandra (L.) Gaertn. is an accepted species of the mallow family, Malvaceae, in the GBIF backbone and in WCVP, the World Checklist of Vascular Plants. GBIF records samaúma and sumaúma as Portuguese names, and kapok tree and silk cotton tree as English ones. According to WCVP the tree is native to tropical America, from Mexico and the Caribbean to Bolivia and to northern, north-eastern and west-central Brazil, and it has been introduced in many parts of tropical Africa and Asia.
Ash or bark powder
If you are looking for the bark itself, the samauma bark powder is the unburned form of the same species. The rapé blend Kuntanawa Samauma carries the tree’s name, but a blend name is not an ingredient list, and nothing is stated here about its composition. This jar holds ash only, with no other ingredient declared.
Burning safely
Burn incense, resins, smudge sticks and palo santo in a well-ventilated room, on a heat-resistant holder (a dish, sand, or charcoal for resins), away from curtains and anything flammable. Always put out the embers before you leave the room.
Precautions
- Never leave anything burning unattended, and keep children and pets at a distance.
- Smoke can irritate the airways: air the room, and avoid use if you have asthma or a respiratory illness.
- Essential oils and floral waters: never swallow them and keep them away from the eyes; dilute oils before any contact with the skin, and seek advice during pregnancy.
- Plant ash is not meant to be inhaled: handle it with care.
Storage
Keep incense, resins and wood dry, in a closed container, away from light and heat, so that they keep their fragrance. Close oils and floral waters tightly after use.
