Ingredients, Safety, and Use Information

Mad Wax Carbon is a food-safe, scent-free protective wax designed specifically for carbon steel knives and tools.

This page provides full ingredient transparency, safety information, and best-use guidance.

What Mad Wax Carbon Is

Mad Wax Carbon is a protective blade wax that creates a thin, durable barrier on carbon steel surfaces.

It is designed to:

  • Reduce moisture exposure

  • Slow oxidation and rust

  • Protect blades during storage and daily carry

Mad Wax Carbon is not intended to replace proper cleaning or drying. It is a protective layer, not a cure.

Intended Use

  • Carbon steel knife blades

  • Carbon steel tools

  • Food-contact blades after cleaning and drying

Mad Wax Carbon is not marketed for stainless steel, as stainless generally does not require wax protection.

Ingredient List

Mad Wax Carbon is made with food-safe, cosmetic-grade ingredients:

  • Beeswax (Cera Alba)
    Natural wax that provides structure and moisture resistance.

  • Carnauba Wax (Copernicia Cerifera Wax)
    A hard, plant-based wax that increases durability and heat resistance.

  • Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera Oil)
    A stable carrier oil that improves spread and application.

  • Camellia Seed Oil (Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil)
    A traditional knife oil used for carbon steel protection.

  • Vitamin E (Mixed Tocopherols)
    A natural antioxidant that helps stabilize oils and extend shelf life.

Exact formulation ratios are proprietary.
