What are the ingredients of Pure Tung Oil?
Quick Summary: Pure Tung Oil is a 100% natural, single-ingredient wood finish made exclusively from pressed tung tree seeds. It contains zero VOCs, solvents, or chemical driers, making it an FDA-approved, food-safe choice for your home.
When you're working on a project for your kitchen or a piece of heirloom furniture, you need to know exactly what you’re putting into the wood. Many modern finishes are a "chemical soup" of resins and thinners, but Pure Tung Oil takes a different approach. We believe that the best ingredients come straight from nature, which is why our formula is as simple as it gets.
The Simple Power of a Single Ingredient
The most remarkable thing about this product is what isn't in it. Unlike "tung oil finishes" you might find at a big-box store, which are often thinned with petroleum, our product is the real deal.
- 100% Pure Tung Seed Oil: This is a true single-ingredient product. It is derived entirely from the pressed seeds of the Tung tree.
- Zero VOCs: Because it is all-natural, it is a "zero-VOC" finish, making it safer for you and your environment.
- No Hidden Additives: You won't find any petroleum distillates, metallic driers, or synthetic resins here.
- ASTM Tested: To ensure you are getting the highest quality, our oil is ASTM tested. This guarantees the oil isn't "cut" or diluted with cheap, non-drying oils like mineral or vegetable oil.
Safety and Performance by Nature
The natural chemical makeup of these ingredients allows the oil to do more than just sit on the surface. Through a process called oxidation, the oil transforms from a liquid into a durable, flexible solid that becomes part of the wood itself.
Why Purity Matters for Your Home
Because we stick to 100% natural ingredients, this oil offers unique benefits that synthetic coatings can't match:
- FDA-Approved Food Safety: With no chemicals or solvents to worry about, it is the gold standard for butcher blocks, salad bowls, and utensils.
- Natural Resistance: Once fully cured, the oil is naturally resistant to water, alcohol, and fruit acids.
- No Peeling or Flaking: Since it is non-film forming, it provides a beautiful matte finish that will never blister or peel.
Pro Tip: Unlike non-drying mineral oils that stay liquid and eventually wash away, Pure Tung Oil actually hardens into a permanent solid, providing long-term protection.
