The discussion centers on finding a phthalate-free substitute for DEP oil in agarbatti or incense stick manufacturing due to health concerns associated with phthalates. Participants highlight that phthalates have only been in widespread use for about a century, while traditional incense has been made for centuries. This raises the question of historical alternatives. Triacetin and dipropylene glycol are suggested as potential substitutes, indicating that these substances may have been used prior to the introduction of phthalates in incense production. The focus remains on identifying safe, effective alternatives to ensure consumer health and safety.
