Natural Ingredients
This interior wood finish is composed of natural wax and oil, ensuring an environment that is free of hazardous chemicals, as well as completely safe for children. The absence of pesticides makes this product a reliable choice.

A minimum of two coats is advised to achieve a good level of resistance to spills of tea, coffee, wine and soft drinks.
Hard Wearing
The real magic of Gilboys Hard Wax Oil lies in its durability. This finish is highly resistant to scratches and scuffs, perfect for high-traffic areas like kitchen counters and dining tables. It’s also water-resistant, safeguarding against spills and can withstand high temperatures from hot tableware or drinks. Plus, it is certified slip-resistant (BS 7976-2PTV), making it a safe choice for both domestic and commercial areas.
Heat Resistant
Extensive trials show that our Hard Wax Oil offers exceptional resistance to high temperatures, such as those generated by hot tableware or drinks. We recommend two applications for optimal protection.
Food Safe
One of our proudest features is our commitment to safety. Because we only use natural plant oils and waxes, our hard wax oil is non-toxic and safe to be applied on surfaces where food is prepared and stored, providing a secure, hygienic coating that is safe for the whole family.

*The R scale runs from R9 to R13, where R9 is slippery when wet, and R13 the least slippery. Floor surfaces that are classified by the DIN 51130 standard as R9 (or in some instances R10) will be slippery when used in wet or greasy conditions.
Invest in the enduring beauty of your wooden surfaces today with Gilboys Hard Wax Oil. For interiors that are as safe as they are stunning, there’s no better choice.
Application
- Ensure the wood surface is smooth, clean and dry before applying
- Use a good quality lint free cloth, brush or sponge roller to apply
- Apply two coats for best results on high traffic areas such as floors, kitchen worktops and dining tables
- Sanding between each coat is not always necessary but advisable for a smoother finish
*Rougher surfaces may increase the drying time and will require more applications to achieve a smooth finish.
Trade Tips
- On initial application, if possible, remove the excess hard wax oil with a lint free cloth as you apply it. This will help reduce the drying time.
- Unlike traditional varnishes our hard wax oil is not a viscous coating and will perform much better if applied in multiple thin layers as opposed to heavy single applications.
- Our hard wax oil is also very effective to use as a sanding sealer. Wipe it on bare wood and allow it to soak in for a few minutes. Then wipe away all the excess oil and allow to dry.
Approximate Coverage
500ml: 10m2
1L: 20m2
Drying Time
Our hard wax oil is made with natural ingredients. A single application will usually be dry in 8 hours. The drying time may extend in cold and humid environments.
* The best drying conditions are achieved by applying the hard wax oil sparingly in a warm, well ventilated room.
Bought this product after the Escape to the Chateau fellas recommended it. Have been trying for ages to find a distributor in the US for Osmo, but I'm glad I couldn't because this product is amazing. I'm using it on some reclaimed wooden doors and it's a joy to work with. Will be using it for stair treads next.
So easy to apply and gives a beautiful finish. Service with Gilboys is exemplary. It's personalised which is a lovely touch.
Great product and service
Really enjoyable to use. Beautiful finish, each coat blends easily and smells nice. Really happy with the outcome. Scraped off 5 layers of ugly paint to find a soft pine sill.. using this product (in combination with thorough sanding) resulted in a smooth hard-wood feel. The packaging was a nice touch too.
Really easy to apply with little to know colour change on light coloured wood.
Far more pleasant to work with compared to other hard wax oils, due to the natural orange oil solvent. I didn't get the headache that I would get after using other brands that use other solvents.
This is now my new go to finish for wood.
The very best of waxes we have ever used. It has completely reinvigorated all of the wood we have and every piece of furniture! The hard wax oil is amazing for the floors! Our Parquet looks brand new!
Thank you for your very kind review Ashley.
And for sharing in a video, your experience and results of using our oil.
We really do appreciate it. 😌
Thank you. ☺️
Having discovered Gilboys hard wax oil (and their beeswax) I hope never to use another product. The shear quality of their oil (and Wax), quite literally, shines through.. As far as I can see, Gilboys and their products have integrity - rare these days!
Ordered wax from the lovely website. Despatched quickly and delivered perfectly. Awesome service
Would highly recommend
1st class service
Love this product, gives a nice finish. Wish I had know about sooner. I use it on a multitude of furniture the latest being this room divider/drinks cabinet. Always quick delivery and attention to detail is second to none. I've had great success with all the products I've brought from gilboys. I recommend to anyone. All the best Keith.
