However, all of the above-mentioned combustion support agents were unsatisfactory in terms of stable supply of raw materials, cost, irritative smoke color, and the like.

As a result of intensive research into raw materials for incense stick combustion suppressants that can be used as a substitute for conventionally used combustion suppressants, are economical, and have excellent performance, the inventors have found that cocoa husk powder, cinnamon leaf, and other materials are available as combustion suppressants. By mixing one or more selected from powder and Tarabon extract lees powder and adding it to incense sticks, the defects of conventional combustion stimulants can be removed, suppressing smoke generation, and eliminating irritating odor and eye irritation.

It was determined that

All of the above-mentioned products of the present invention showed good insecticidal power without fading like the commercially available products.
