Notes

*Beeswax and shea butter are best melted slowly in a double boiler set up.  If you use any other method, proceed slowly and keep a close eye on your ingredients.
*This simple recipe for beeswax leather conditioner is great for many types of leather items but I would not use on it leather furniture.
