It arrives as a soft golden paste in a screw-top tub about the width of a drinks coaster, and it does what a wax polish does: you work a thin smear into the surface with a cloth, leave it a few minutes, then buff the excess away. What you are left with is a low satin sheen, warmer-looking grain, and a thin wax film sitting on top of the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the whole of it, and it is worth being plain about, because this product is usually sold with dramatic before-and-after pictures. A wax polish is a finish you can renew in ten minutes with a rag.

We disagree with that use and have said so above rather than quietly leaving it in. Also keep wax off food-contact surfaces such as chopping boards and worktops used for food preparation, and off leather, upholstery, painted walls and unsealed stone — we have no ingredient breakdown from the supplier, so we cannot tell you it is safe on any of those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"band d fw\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"nar\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eHonesty about the label\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat we can tell you about what is in it, and what we cannot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tub carries a supplier label. It reads \"beeswax\", \"Natural \u0026amp; Environmental Friendly\", \"Solvent free\" and a net content of 80 g, plus or minus 5 g. That is the extent of the documentation we hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have no ingredient list, no percentage breakdown and no safety data sheet from the supplier, so we are not in a position to tell you how much of this tub is beeswax and how much is something else. Wood-care pastes in this category are commonly blends of waxes and oils. Ours may be too. We do not know, and a label is not a specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we have written this page around what the product visibly does on wood rather than around what it is made of. If the composition matters to your project — a piece going near food, a piece a child will mouth, an antique with a finish you are protecting, or anything with a conservation value — buy a wax from a maker who publishes its ingredients. That is a better answer than one we would have to hedge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePractical notes buyers raise: it has a faint waxy smell that some people find pleasant and some find slightly chemical; it is soft in a warm room and firmer in a cold one; and a tub goes a long way, because the amount you actually need per panel is very small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"band fw\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"in\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eThe details\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kit\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOne tub\u003c\/b\u003eA single screw-top tub of soft wax paste, net weight 80 g (about 2.8 oz), plus or minus 5 g\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNothing else\u003c\/b\u003eNo cloth, no applicator pad, no brush, no gloves and no printed instructions\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe label\u003c\/b\u003eThe tub carries the supplier's own printed label rather than ours\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fine\"\u003eStore it with the lid on, out of direct sun and away from heat, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
