CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Minwax®, America’s No. 1* selling brand of interior wood stains and clears, announces the launch of its first food-contact-safe, FDA-compliant solution: Food-Grade Wood Oil & Conditioner. Available in a convenient 12-ounce bottle at Lowe’s nationwide, this innovative product offers an easy way to protect and condition all your wooden kitchenware, including butcher blocks, cutting boards, wooden bowls and utensils.
Wood is indispensable in any kitchen, from a dependable cutting board to essential tools like wooden spoons. Properly protecting and conditioning wood is crucial in preventing it from absorbing liquids, which can cause swelling, warping and cracking. Minwax® offers an innovative, 2-in-1 oil and conditioning solution that simplifies wood care.
“As the first food-grade Wood Oil & Conditioner product in the Minwax® lineup, this new product extends our tradition of quality into a new category, offering a food-contact-safe, efficient and effective solution for consumers’ wood care needs,” said Andrew Marsden, Senior Product Manager, Sherwin-Williams Consumer Brands Group. “Oiling and conditioning wooden kitchenware typically involves two separate steps using two separate products—our goal was to simplify that process with one convenient, yet food-contact-safe option consumers can’t find anywhere else.”
Features and benefits include:
- Premium 2-in-1 Formula: Combines the benefits of wood oil and conditioner in a single product, saving you money by eliminating the need for multiple products.
- Durable Protection: Provides lasting care for butcher blocks, cutting boards and wooden kitchenware, ensuring extended use.
- Food Contact Safe and FDA Compliant: Safe for all food contact surfaces, meeting rigorous FDA standards while leaving no odor or taste behind once dried.
- Easy Application: Simply shake well before use; apply with a clean, dry cloth; allow it to saturate for 30 minutes; wipe off excess; and apply two coats with a drying time of 30 minutes between coats. Surfaces can be fully used within 2-4 hours. Cleanup is easy with soap and warm water.
“The Minwax® brand has a long-standing commitment to offering high-quality wood finishing and wood care products. Our goal is to ensure consumers the beauty and longevity of their wood surfaces,” said Madeline Tucker, Senior Brand Manager, Minwax®. “Our Food-Grade Wood Oil & Conditioner is an exciting step into a new category, and we’re looking forward to delivering the same quality to new customers.”
