Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Mineral oil contamination or refinery residues, Fragrance allergens or undisclosed volatile compounds, Skin sensitization from beeswax or lanolin (if present) and VOC off-gassing during storage or application on the Beeswax Polish and not on the .
  • We flag Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and solvent inhalation, Siloxane and silicone residues, Fragrance allergens and undisclosed additives and Coating buildup and surface degradation over time on the and not on the Beeswax Polish.
  • The Beeswax Polish is Beeswax, oils, mineral waxes where the is leather spray coating/treatment, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Beeswax Polish is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the grade, at 35% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
