Shoe polish (or boot polish), usually a waxy
paste or a
cream, is a consumer product used to
shine,
waterproof, and restore the appearance of
leather shoes or
boots, thereby extending the
footwear's life.Various substances have been used as shoe polish for hundreds of years, starting with natural substances such as
wax and
tallow. Modern polish formulae were introduced early in the 20th century and some products from that era are still in use today. Today, shoe polish is usually made from a mix of natural and
synthetic materials, including
naphtha,
turpentine,
dyes, and
gum arabic, using straightforward
chemical engineering processes. Shoe polish can be
toxic, and, if misused, can stain
skin.
