ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
A natural wood conditioner crafted specifically for cutting boards and kitchen prep surfaces. This small batch wax combines expeller-pressed grapeseed oil with pure beeswax and carnauba wax, creating a petroleum-free alternative to conventional wood treatments.
Wood and bamboo surfaces naturally dry out over time, leading to warping and cracking that compromises both function and food safety. This handmade formula penetrates deep into wood fibers to restore moisture and flexibility while creating a protective barrier against kitchen wear.
The maker formulated this wax to be so pure and nourishing that any excess can double as a hand conditioner. Each 2-ounce tin provides multiple applications for maintaining your most treasured cutting boards and wooden kitchen tools.

In Brooklyn, an artist and furniture maker grew weary of constantly switching between work boots and dress shoes. This simple frustration sparked a quest for one pair of boots that could transition seamlessly from workshop to evening, which meant finding the right natural care product.
After searching unsuccessfully for petroleum-free, truly natural leather care that wouldn't over-saturate, the craftsperson began experimenting. Working with eager Brooklynite focus groups over more than a year, they perfected formulas using locally sourced ingredients from small family farms.
Today, this small company continues handmaking products in small batches, prioritizing natural and sustainable ingredients in everything from formulations to packaging. Their mission remains rooted in supporting local farming practices while creating the highest quality artisanal goods possible.

A: A small amount goes far - just enough to create a thin, even layer across the surface before allowing it to penetrate and buffing any excess.
Q: Is it normal to use leftover wax on my hands?
A: The maker actually encourages this, as the formula is so pure and nourishing that any excess makes an excellent natural hand conditioner.
Q: Will this wax change the color of my cutting board?
