FAQs
What types of wood can I use this oil on?
This oil is designed for untreated wood and previously oiled surfaces. It works well on hardwoods and softwoods, including furniture, kitchenware (like cutting boards and utensils), and decorative wooden items.
Is this product safe for food contact surfaces?
Yes, the oil is plant-based and vegan-friendly, making it suitable for wooden items that come into contact with food, such as cutting boards and serving utensils, once the excess has been wiped away and the oil has cured.
How often should I reapply the Nourishing Wood Oil?
The frequency of reapplication depends on usage and environmental conditions. Typically, reapply every 3-6 months or whenever the wood begins to look dry or faded to maintain optimal protection and appearance.
Can I use this on painted or varnished wood?
No, this oil is intended for unfinished or oiled wood. It will not penetrate or effectively treat painted, varnished, or lacquered surfaces, and may potentially affect these finishes.
How should I store the Nourishing Wood Oil?
Store the oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to maintain the oil's quality and prevent evaporation.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored correctly, the Nourishing Wood Oil typically has a shelf life of approximately 2-3 years. Always check for any changes in scent or consistency, which might indicate it's time for a new bottle.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks after application
This usually occurs if excess oil was not wiped away completely. Buff the surface with a clean, dry cloth to remove any residue. Ensure even application in the future.
Wood still looks dull or dry
The wood may require more oil or a second application. Ensure the surface was clean and dry before the first application. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Oil not penetrating the wood
Confirm the wood is untreated or previously oiled. If the surface has a sealant, varnish, or paint, the oil will not penetrate. Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any surface contaminants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Ensure the wooden surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris before application. For best results, test on an inconspicuous area first.
Compatibility: This oil is suitable for untreated wood and previously oiled surfaces. It is not recommended for painted, varnished, or lacquered wood, as it may not penetrate or could affect the existing finish.
Care: Apply a small amount of oil to a clean, lint-free cloth. Wipe evenly over the wooden surface, following the grain. Allow the oil to penetrate for 15-30 minutes, then wipe away any excess with a clean, dry cloth. For heavily dried wood, a second application may be beneficial after the first has dried.
