Redwing all natural boot oil contains mink oil and pine pitch. It may contain some beeswax but it is thin. You need a heavier wax for heavy duty waterproofing. I take my boots in once a month to the Redwing cobbler and they paint the stuff on with a paint brush. They recommend stuff like Montana Pitch Blend or Obenauf's for an all natural heavier beeswax product that doesn't gunk up the works.

Best:)
