Cotton Canvas Wax - Natural Waterproofing

In Brooklyn, an artist and furniture maker grew tired of always changing into his "nice boots" at the end of a day's work. He went looking for a product that would keep his boots looking their finest.

Most products he found were loaded with petroleum by-products, and the ones that claimed to be all natural were so oily they over-saturated his boots after the second application. Over a year later, with the help of many eager boot wearing Brooklynite focus groups, the Brooklyn Boot Wax formula was perfected. From there, requests from friends led to a leather conditioner and a Butcher Block Wax made with cold-pressed grapeseed oil, beeswax and carnauba wax.

Today Armstrong's All Natural is still a small company. It says its products are designed, developed and handmade in small batches in the USA, that it sources natural, sustainable ingredients locally to support sustainable farming practices, and that everything it offers, packaging included, is renewable, recyclable or compostable.
