Instructions
 

  • The first step to making this leather polish is to melt the beeswax and coconut butter. The best and safest way to do it this is over a double boiler on the stove top.
  • Let hot steam melt the wax and coconut butter, and be very careful not to spill any on the stove because beeswax is flammable (like candles)!
  • One the steam has melted the mixture, add in the olive oil and mineral oil.  Allow the 4 ingredients to heat up in the boiler by continuing to stir the ingredients together for a few minutes until all solids have completely melted. Carefully pour the leather polish into 8 ounce wide mouth mason jars, allow the jars to cool overnight, and you're ready to use.
  • Using the conditioner is a simple process: use a soft towel or microfiber cloth to apply the wax directly to the leather surface. Allow the wax conditioner to sit on the leather for 5 minutes, and then gently rub the conditioner into the leather using soft circular motions.  Apply more conditioner to areas that are dry or chapped, taking care to not rub too hard to damage the leather.
