Your wooden cutting board works hard. Whether it's breaking down vegetables for a weeknight dinner or serving a charcuterie spread for guests, it deserves a little care in return. That's exactly what our Board Butter – Cutting Board Conditioner is made for.
Two Ingredients. That's It.
We keep things simple on purpose. Our ReDieming Creations Board Butter is made with just two ingredients:
- Organic fractionated coconut oil — Lightweight, deeply penetrating, and shelf-stable
- Organic beeswax — Creates a protective barrier that shields the wood
No mineral oil. No synthetic additives. Just a clean, food-safe formula that nourishes wood and helps it last.
Why It Matters
Mineral oil is a very common finish used on cutting boards, and is what you will generally see in most stores and used on many mass produced boards. Mineral oil is a highly refined product derived from petroleum during the refining (distillation and purification) process. While this isn't important to some, others like myself, want a natural, alternative option. This is where ReDieming Creations Board Butter started.
Fractionated coconut oil is a lightweight, clear oil made by removing the long-chain fatty acids from regular coconut oil, leaving behind medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). This process allows it to remain liquid at room temperature and significantly extends its shelf life. For wood care, fractionated coconut oil penetrates deeply into the wood to help prevent it from drying out while resisting rancidity better than many other natural oils. This is a much better, natural alternative to the petroleum based mineral oil and is why I choose to make and use it.
The Difference It Makes
Untreated wood dries out and cracks when not properly maintained. Regular conditioning keeps the grain looking more rich, the surface smoother, and the board looking its best. Think of it like moisturizer for your kitchen tools, a small habit that makes a big difference.
Board Butter works on cutting boards, serving boards, wooden utensils, and any other wooden kitchen tools you want to protect.
How to Use It
Apply a small amount to a clean, dry wooden surface. Rub it in with a cloth, let it sit for 20–30 minutes, then buff off any excess. That's it. For boards in regular rotation, re-apply every 2–3 weeks or whenever the wood starts to look dry or dull.
Which Size Is Right for You?
We offer Board Butter in two sizes:
- 2oz ($10) — A great starter size, perfect for gifting or simply to try it for the first time. Ideal for lighter use or smaller boards.
- 4oz ($17) — If you're conditioning multiple boards or kitchen tools regularly, this is the one to keep on hand.
Both sizes use the exact same formula, one is just more of a good thing.
A Note on Gifting
The 2oz size makes a thoughtful, practical gift, especially paired with one of our handcrafted cutting boards. It's the kind of thing people don't always think to buy for themselves but genuinely appreciate.
