Howard Products Butcher Block Conditioner

Yes. It is formulated with USP food-grade mineral oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax, making it completely safe for use on cutting boards, wooden bowls, and butcher block countertops.

For best results, apply the conditioner whenever the wood looks dry or dull. As a general rule of thumb, once a month is usually sufficient for most kitchenware, though high-use items may need more frequent care.

It won't erase deep gouges, but it will help smooth out minor surface scratches and knife marks. By hydrating the wood fibers, it makes the surface look more uniform and prevents those marks from splintering further.

This product is specifically designed for raw or previously oiled wooden kitchen surfaces. It is not intended for use on lacquered, varnished, or polyurethane-finished furniture, as it will not penetrate those protective layers.

Simply apply a small amount to a clean, soft cloth and rub it into the wood, following the direction of the grain. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb, then buff away any excess with a dry cloth.
