Beeswax and refined Walnut Oil blended in just the right ratio gives a luxurious conditioner that is just as good for your hands as it is the wood.

Suitable for all wooden boards and blocks, it nourishes, revives, protects, and restores lustre, enhancing the grain and bringing out the beauty of the wood.

Clean and dry your board, then simply rub in with a cloth or kitchen paper, and either leave to soak in or buff if you'd like some shine.  Works just as well on wooden furniture.

Do not use on or near fabrics, no one likes an oily stain.

We do not use any solvents, turps, or other nasty and yucky ingredients in our products.

Supplied in a 50 gram tin or multiples of.

What Is Beeswax & Walnut Oil Board Polish?

Our Beeswax & Walnut Oil Board Polish is a semi-solid, plant-based conditioner made by whipping pure British beeswax into cold-pressed walnut oil. Unlike liquid oils, this rich balm melts gently into the wood, combining deep nourishment with a hard-wearing, food-safe finish. Because walnut oil is a drying oil, it polymerises as it cures, leaving a resilient protective film that repels water and stains far more effectively than non-drying alternatives.

Why Blend Walnut Oil With Mineral Oil?

Deep conditioning & durable seal - walnut oil sinks into the grain to hydrate, while beeswax locks moisture in and adds a satin sheen.

Natural, petroleum-free formula - perfect for anyone who prefers a wholly renewable, plant-and-bee-based treatment.

Enhances grain & colour - the blend brings out a warm, honeyed lustre that mineral oil alone can’t match.

How to Apply the Polish

  • Start with a clean, completely dry board.
  • Scoop out a hazelnut-sized amount and soften it with your fingers or a lint-free cloth.
  • Work the polish over every surface and edge in small circular motions.
  • Leave for 20 minutes, then buff vigorously to a gentle satin finish.
  • Allow the board to rest for 6–8 hours (overnight is ideal) so the walnut oil can polymerise and the beeswax can harden.

Compatible Surfaces & Kitchenware

Ideal for wooden chopping boards, butcher’s blocks, salad bowls, and utensils. It will condition bamboo, but absorption is shallower, so re-application intervals may vary. Not recommended for varnished or lacquered surfaces. Contains tree-nut oil, so those with nut allergies may prefer our mineral-oil alternatives.

Environmental & Packaging Details

Hand-blended and poured in the Cotswolds into fully recyclable aluminium tins with push to open lids. Our beeswax is sourced from responsibly managed UK apiaries, and the walnut oil is pressed within the EU, keeping supply chains short and sustainable.

Walnut oil soaks into the fibres, restoring lost moisture and brings out the wood’s natural colour and grain. While it cures, it creates a microscopically thin, water-repellent film that helps resist stains and everyday wear without leaving a greasy residue. The end result is a board that feels smoother, looks richer, and stays easier to clean between uses.

Absolutely, as long as the oil is pure, food-grade walnut oil. Once applied in a thin coat and allowed to cure, it forms a stable, non-toxic surface that meets food-contact standards. It contains no synthetic additives or petroleum by-products, which is why many woodworkers and chefs favour it for boards, bowls, and utensils. The only precaution is for anyone with a tree-nut allergy, who should choose a nut-free finish such as mineral oil instead.

Yes, provided it is pure, food-grade beeswax that has been filtered to remove pollen, dust, and pesticide residues. Once applied, the wax forms a thin, natural barrier that is odourless, tasteless, and entirely inert, so it won’t leach chemicals or flavours into food. Many professional board makers and wooden-utensil artisans prefer beeswax precisely because it is a natural, allergen-free finish that also offers mild antimicrobial properties and adds a subtle, satin sheen.

A light, well-buffed coat of beeswax (or a mineral-oil-with-beeswax blend) will begin to firm up within 15-30 minutes at normal room temperature. For best results, leave the board to rest for 6 hours or overnight: this allows the wax to finish curing, bond to the wood fibres, and develop its full water-resistant finish before you resume regular use.
