From the product: "INGREDIENTS Natural unbleached bee's wax and food grade mineral oil." Also, "...For best results let the cream soak into the wood overnight, then remove the excess with a paper towel." Ignore that instruction. You will need to do it more than once. That's not a bad thing, it's just unusual seeing the instructions for a product tell me to use too little, instead of too much.
I used this on a new bamboo cutting board. It worked great and really soaked in well. But don't plan on using the cutting board for a day or two after you first start treating it. A new board will really soak this up, and you want to err on the side of too much (which you can wipe off) versus too little (which may leave the board insufficiently treated).
My board is 11-3/4" x 15-3/4" x 1-1/2", bamboo, with rubber feet on the bottom. I treated the bottom and side of the board first, leaving a little extra coating on it. Then I placed the board on a layer of paper towels to minimize how much I might have to clean up from my kitchen counter. After I rubbed the cream into the top, I left it to stand overnight. In the morning, I was still able to rub more in. I checked back every couple of hours and rubbed in more. I kept finding a few spots that could absorb more of the cream, so I covered the whole thing again.
Don't wipe it off until you are absolutely sure it can't absorb any more. By then, you'll have very little excess cream, and you'll basically buff it off with the paper towel. Your board will be darker, and look beautiful. You'll want to leave it out on the counter, it will look so good.
I bought two of these creams thinking I would use a whole tube on my brand new cutting board. But, in writing this review, I stopped to weigh the two tubes (using a digital scale we have) to see how much I used. The unopened tube weighed 6.0 ounces, and the tube I used weighed 5.0 ounces. All of that cream I used as described above, and I still only used 1.0 ounce (by weight). The cream is measured in the tube by fluid ounces, but at this small a size, it really is close. So I used 1/5 of the tube on a brand new cutting board, and won't have to use an ounce every time I treat the board after cleaning. Great deal.
I apologize for the long review, but I hope this helps you make your decision on which product to buy. This one has just what the websites say is great for your cutting board. I am really happy with it.

Our Chopping Block Loves Boos Block
BOOS BLOCK Duo - absolutely THE Best wood conditioning products. Using the conditioners often: use a light hand. Use occasionally: let it rest undisturbed in the wood overnight. The wood soaks it up. We own a chopping block that is almost impossible to replace. (See photo.) Boos Block products keep it in fine condition.

This John Boos Block Board Cream , along with John Boos Mystery Oil is all I use on my John Boos Butcher Block Work Table. It is recommended by John Boos butcher block products and works extremely well. It keeps my butcher block surface like new. It protects agains moisture and makes it easy to clean between applications. I recommend it for any butcher block.

Great product but too expensive
Style: Mystery Oil + ApplicatorVerified Purchase
Bought it together with my chopping board from same seller. Easy to use, feels nice on the wooden chopping board, but in the end it can be too expensive as you need to use it every month as recommended. And you use pretty much of the product for each treatment. Therefore I find the product to be too expensive. But a must have to keep your chopping board nice and well maintained. Lower the price and I would have given it 5 stars.GUBBIGreat product but too expensive
