The term ‘shoe polish’ will be understood as a waxy paste, cream, or liquid used domestically to polish, shine, waterproof, and restore the appearance of leather shoes/boots, thereby protecting the footwears against abrasion. Usually, the shoe polish produced is flammable, toxic and if mis used, it can stain skin. Petroleum based shoe wax and turpentine derived from plant are inflammable and should be disposed as hazardous waste. 

The formulation of the shoe polish is carried out by mixing both the oil phase and the water phase at controlled temperature in the homogenizer to produce a smooth waxy cream. The formulated shoe polish is then being evaluated to test both chemical and physical properties as to conform its suitability for human skin.
