Our horn beads are finished using a paste wax, the kind you use in waxing hard floor. Make sure you use a neutral-clear color so it is easy to wipe off from the beads without leaving the wax color. You can also use a wax shoe polish, again neutral color. Just use a thin layer on a clean piece of cloth. Wipe off with another clean piece of cloth rubbing the beads until wax are removed. I hope this helps.

I also tried rubbing it lightly with quality olive oil, cocnut oil, and shea butter, but they only leave a temporary shine that quickly wears off.
