Wood Balm

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Purita Wood Balm made from?

  
  Purita Wood Balm is made with just two ingredients: MCT Oil and pure beeswax. That’s it. No mineral oil, petroleum, or synthetic preservatives.

• Is Purita Wood Balm food-contact safe?

  
  Yes. Purita Wood Balm is made with ingredients selected for use on wooden kitchenware and food-contact surfaces when used as directed.

• What can I use Purita Wood Balm on?

  
  Use it on cutting boards, butcher blocks, wooden utensils, serving boards, bowls, and other unfinished or oil-finished wooden kitchenware.

• How do I apply Purita Wood Balm?

  
  Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry wood. Work the balm into the surface, let it absorb, then buff away any excess with a clean cloth or applicator pad.

• How often should I use it?

  
  There’s no exact schedule. Reapply whenever your wood starts looking dry, dull, faded, or feels rougher than usual. Frequently washed pieces may need care more often.

• Why do wooden cutting boards need to be conditioned?

  
  Wood naturally gains and loses moisture. Regular conditioning helps replenish the surface, reduce excessive drying, and keep the wood looking and feeling its best.

• Will Purita Wood Balm go rancid?

  
  Purita uses MCT Oil rather than conventional cooking oils. MCT Oil is highly saturated and oxidation-resistant, making it much more stable than oils such as olive or vegetable oil.

• What’s the difference between Wood Balm and Wood Wash?

  
  Purita Wood Wash is for cleaning your wooden kitchenware. Purita Wood Balm is for conditioning and protecting the wood afterward. Together, they make up a simple wood-care routine.
