Bearberry

Organic oil wax for wood preserving

The wax of the common bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) makes Swedish oil wax one of the finest, top-quality organic wood preservatives currently available. It can accentuate the natural beauty of wood and protects it from moisture and contamination.

Further components include beeswax and Swedish linseed oil. It is completely free from any chemicals or solvents.
