Inside every tin
The alternative to toxic chemicals
While conventional lacquers seal timber behind a plastic film that cracks and peels, Osmo uses carefully harvested plant oils and natural waxes that penetrate and nourish the wood from within. Proudly vegan. Safe for humans, animals and plants when dry.

Why Osmo
Built differently. Proven to last.
Every Osmo product is developed in our in-house laboratories in
Warendorf, Germany — then stress-tested to perform in the real world.
Won't crack, peel or blister
The microporous formula allows moisture to move naturally — so there's no film to crack or peel, ever. Long-lasting protection without the failure modes of lacquer.
Wood stays alive
Osmo penetrates rather than seals. The wood's natural character — its texture, grain, and warmth — stays visible and tangible rather than buried under plastic.
Easy to repair and refresh
Spot-repairs are seamless — no need to sand back the whole floor. Re-coat without stripping. Maintenance is simple and the results are invisible.
Resistant to wine, beer & cola
Tough enough for Gardermoen Airport — the world's most tested floor. Osmo Polyx-Oil withstands the daily demands of homes, restaurants, and commercial interiors alike.
