What does the application pad consist of?

Made from wool!

The application pad is made from 100% pure new wool from Austrian sheep. The soft and gentle structure is ideal for applying the premium wood elixir gently and deeply to the wood surface. The application pad does not absorb as much oil as a cotton cloth, for example, and therefore saves on materials.

But wool is not vegan

Yes, wool is not vegan. We have deliberately chosen an animal-based material for our application pads. However, this in no way conflicts with our claim not to cause animal suffering. Our sheep's wool comes from Germany and Austria. In these countries, sheep are mainly used for landscape conservation. Sheep stabilise the dams on the North and Baltic Seas. Their wool is an undesirable by-product, as the wool of our native species itches and scratches the skin and is therefore rarely used for textile production. We therefore use this by-product from sheep that are kept in a truly species-appropriate manner.

The popular merino wool, which does not itch on the skin, comes from Australia and is produced there under great animal suffering in a torture farm.

We will never use this wool.
