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 aim of this study is:

 (a) to develop a laboratory method for applying beeswax to shoe polish, (b) to utilize the antimicrobial activity of Tinospora Cordifolia (Bakawali) as antioxidant preservative in shoe polish (c) to analyze the properties (chemical and physical) of the formulated shoe polish.
