What it does
Plant-based, not petroleum
Food-grade mineral oil comes from petroleum. Coconut oil is a renewable, plant-based alternative that is suitable for vegans.
Soaks in fast
It absorbs quickly into the wood, so the board resists liquids, is easier to wash and is less likely to warp or crack.
No smell, no stickiness
It does not smell of coconut and won't turn sticky or smell stale over time.
