What are the ingredients in Soapstone Sealer?
Soapstone Sealer is formulated with high-quality, natural ingredients designed to provide a permanent alternative to mineral oil. Because it is specifically intended for use on kitchen countertops and food-prep surfaces, its components are chosen for both their performance and their safety profile.
- Walnut Oil: This is the primary conditioning agent. It is a polymerizing (drying) oil, meaning it hardens into a durable solid rather than staying liquid. The walnut oil used in this sealer undergoes a heating process during manufacturing, which accelerates its drying capabilities and reduces the activity of proteins typically associated with nut allergies.
T1 Carnauba Wax: Derived from the leaves of the carnauba palm, this wax is the hardest natural wax available. It provides a protective barrier and a smooth, low-luster sheen.
Safety & Allergy Information
- Food Safety: Both Walnut Oil and T1 Carnauba Wax are FDA-approved (or rated GRAS—Generally Recognized As Safe) for direct and incidental food contact.
- Allergy Considerations: While the heating and polymerization process makes an allergic reaction unlikely because the proteins are no longer active once cured, individuals with severe walnut allergies should consult a physician before use.
Non-Toxic: This sealer contains no solvents, VOCs, or synthetic driers.
