• 15 ml (1 tbsp) of grated raw Quebec beeswax (or 7.5 ml (1/2 tbsp) of sunflower wax)
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) of organic coconut oil
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) of organic sunflower oil or organic olive oil
• 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) of vitamin E (optional) (Slows down oil rancidity and extends the shelf life of the recipe.)
• 50 ml glass jar

1. In a double boiler, melt the wax and the coconut oil.

2. Remove from heat and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well.

3. Pour into the jar and let set in the fridge, uncovered.

Cleaning

First, clean the leather of your boots or shoes with our recipe for homemade leather shoe and boot cleaner. Wait 10 minutes before moving on to the waxing step.

Waxing

Spread the wax over your shoes or boots with a soft cloth or a dauber brush, using small circular motions. Once the wax is well spread, wait 5 to 10 minutes, then buff with a shine brush in a back-and-forth motion to make the leather shine. If you don't have a shine brush, you can use a clean cloth to remove the excess wax.

Ta-daaaam! It's that simple. You can repeat the process on your boots every month of winter, before putting them away in spring, or whenever they need it. Same goes for your shoes!
