Ingredients

  • 4ouncescoconut oil (Craft Oil preferred)save 10% with my discount code NOURISHING
  • 4ouncesbeeswax

Instructions

  1. The coconut oil and beeswax should be weighed so that there are 4 ounces (or more if desired) of each. This creates a 50/50 mix by weight. Weigh out the beeswax.

  2. Weigh out an equal amount of coconut oil.

  3. I melted them together in my Instant Pot, using the "Keep Warm" feature. If you prefer, you can melt in a glass bowl sitting on top of a pot of boiling water (double boiler)

  4. Once melted, pour into silicon molds or a metal tin. Let the mixture harden. You can speed this up by placing it into the freezer or fridge.

  5. To use, warm the wax disc or a little bit of wax in your hand. Spread generously over your boots.

  6. Use a horsehair brush to scrub and work the wax into leather. Continue brushing the boots until the wax is worked into the leather. No need to wait. Wear them right away!
