Birch tar based leatherconditioner and wax

[Birchee]

I make some birch tar based leather conditioner and wax which some of you might be interested in, it is quite different from other conditioners and waxes. 

Leather Conditioner Ingredients

• Beeswax
• Jojoba
• Birch tar
• D-limonene
• Stabilizer (mix of antioxidants and tocopherols)

Very strong smoky smell (smell of russia leather with a hint of oranges) imparted on the leather which fades down to slightly smoky after a week or so, lasts for up to a year. Penetrates well and has great resistance against water, salt, fungi, pests, and even rodents, long lasting. Does not overly soften, dries well and not tacky. Very stable, I have never seen it oxidize, and does not go rancid.

Leather Wax Ingredients

• Beeswax
• Coconut oil
• Birch tar
• Stabilizer (mix of antioxidants and tocopherols)

Much of the same benefits as the conditioner but not as good of penetration, beeswax stays at the top while some of the oils penetrate. Dries well, may be a little tack for a week or so after application. Designed to work with the conditioner. Both applied and leather is highly water resistant for up to a year and in some cases longer.

 

$25 CAD for conditioner (4oz jar)

$18 CAD for wax (4oz jar)

Due to trump nuking the de minimis deal and setting additional duty fees I charge an additional 35% duty fee to cover the cost as it has to be pre-paid not passed to the receiver.

 

These products perform extremely well in harsh environments but are not for everyone. They will darken leather significantly and the smell is intense until it fades.

You need to provide the following information.

How much is shipping to various locations?  Who do you use for national and international couriers?

Woops, thanks for letting me know. I can't edit so will drop it here:

I use Canada Post for national and international shipping. Shipping cost is generally between $15 and $25 for regular parcel in north america and $25 to $35 for regular parcel to EU. You also have faster more expensive options for shipping such as xpresspost international but it is about 2-3 x the cost of regular parcel

As it is directly related I'll drop a article I just published on beeswax and its penetration on leather.
