Frequently Asked Questions
Products
What makes your beeswax products special?
Our products are made from pure beeswax harvested from our own Scottish hives in Balerno. We use traditional methods and natural ingredients to create high-quality, sustainable care products that are kind to both your belongings and the environment.
Are your products suitable for all types of wood?
Our furniture polish and kitchen wood balsam are suitable for most types of wood, including oak, pine, mahogany, and walnut. However, we recommend testing on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially for antique or valuable furniture.
How long do your products last?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place, our products have a shelf life of 2-3 years. The beeswax naturally preserves the other ingredients, making our products long-lasting.
Are your products safe for children and pets?
Yes, our products are made from natural ingredients and are safe for use around children and pets. However, we recommend keeping them out of reach and avoiding ingestion.
