IMPROVED UV PROTECTION

Our commitment to preserving the natural beauty of your wooden furniture has led us to improve our beeswax polish formula by incorporating a UV absorber. This addition has been scientifically proven to significantly lessen the harmful effects of UV radiation from direct sunlight on wooden surfaces.

By integrating a UV absorber into our trusted beeswax polish formula, we provide additional protection that absorbs even more of the harmful UV rays before they can damage the wood or its finish. This advanced protection is especially crucial for pieces exposed to direct sunlight, helping to greatly reduce discolouration and extend the life of your furniture.

While it does not block all UV rays entirely, it acts as a crucial additional barrier, extending the life of your furniture and keeping its colour and finish vibrant.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Environmental preservation is very important to us and we make every effort to ensure our products have a minimal impact on the environment:

  • We are not driven by a corporate cost-reduction ethos. We select our components based on quality and sustainability rather than the cheapest alternatives
  • 100% Plastic-free recyclable packaging
    • 70% Recycled cardboard and paper from FSC-approved mixed sources
    • Packing tape that is paper & cotton based with a water-based gum adhesive which can be recycled along with the cardboard boxes
    • No polypropylene-based tape. We use biodegradable raffia twine.
  • No petrochemical solvents, we use only pure pine gum spirits of turpentine
  • Reusable Le Parfait jars with a Return & Refill discount scheme
  • Our workshop roof is completely covered in solar panels and generates far more electricity than we consume

Worked wonderfully!

I followed the video posted to YouTube and had wonderful results restoring a camphor trunk with this kit and some oil based stain.

Great product amazing customer service

The product is effective and thoughtful and came with all the personal touch that makes the whole difference. Will be buy again and everything else.

Pleasantly surprised

After using various wax products with mediocre results I had come to view wax as an 'optional extra' , secondary to the main finish.
With this wax, it can be used as a stand alone finish, simply on top of wood stain, to give first class results.

Second Purchase! Excellent!

I had purchased Rose Gold previously which I was happy with but needed the antique Gold for another project. Excellent product and local to me. Highly recommended.

Somerset (Golders Green, GB)
A wonderful little kit

I did initially hesitate because of the price, but having completed the project and seen the results, I'm a convert. I have other little projects I've had in mind, and I'll definitely be using `Gilboys again. My next project will require oxalic acid, and I never really felt confident enough to attempt it. But I'm ready now!

Thank you, Gilboys, not only for the excellent products, but also for the videos that make it so easy to follow along.
