Gilboys Beeswax Products
The world’s finest beeswax polishes, handcrafted with passion using traditional methods and the finest ingredients, all made in the UK.
Our intention is not to compete with any other brand, but to simply make the best beeswax products we can - Simon Gilboy.
Transforming Surplus into Support
Rowcroft's bees produce surplus beeswax, which we craft into premium polishes in our solar-powered, carbon-negative workshop. Every purchase supports Rowcroft's care and our commitment to sustainability.
We have created an exclusive 'Rowcroft Collection' of beeswax polishes where every jar sold not only preserves and protects your precious wooden furniture but also directly supports the vital work of Rowcroft Hospice.
