Not to be confused with traditional oil finishes, OSMO Hardwax Oil is an engineered finish made with plant oils and waxes, plus just enough highly refined mineral spirits to allow easy application. This remarkable finish offers excellent durability and renewability with a unique lustrous finish. It will never crack, blister or flake off. Instead of forming a plastic film, like polyurethane does, OSMO Hardwax Oil has open pores that "breathe." This allows any moisture that does get through to get back out again without pushing off the finish.

OSMO Polyx-Oil, the original Hard Wax Oil, is made from readily renewable, natural ingredients: 2 natural waxes (carnauba and candelilla) and 3 natural oils (sunflower, soybean, and thistle). It preserves the look and feel of real wood because it is not a plastic coating over your floor - instead it penetrates and strengthens the wood grain from within.

OSMO Polyx-Oil contains no biocides or preservatives, and when dry it is safe for humans, plants and animals. Polyx-oil meets European safety standards for use on children's furniture and toys and resistance to perspiration and saliva.

Because it is micro-porous, Hardwax Oil performs very well in rooms with high humidity, such as kitchens. It meets German standards for resistance to stains from wine, cola, coffee, tea, fruit juice and, of course, beer.
