Since their a Tinted Wax base product the options could be limitless?
Since that's a supply I could sneak into the wifes grocery budget, I think I will try them.

That would be Rick Jensen, using Melitonian shoe creams.

Holy Cr4p, no longer being made I better get to walmart, the farm store menards, and home depot and buy all I can get my hands on.

Note this thread was started 7-20.
FYI,
I just returned from Lowes and my purchase of Watco Natural. I went to Lowes because Home Depot was out of Natural and I asked if the other store had it in house. They looked up on their computer and it showed they were NOT going to handle it anymore and the other store was out!! Called Lowes they had it.

I've used shoe polish in various colors for several carvings. Need to put on one coat and wipe hard to get it off for an antiquing method, or several coats and polish the carving.

Now I buy my Watco from Woodcraft online.

No more at Lowes, just the oil. That is what I was told today at my local Lowes.

I was at Woodcarft today and they still carry it, I think it is also available on their website.

Al Clark, Woodcarver's Den in Bellevue, Ohio had it for sale at the carving show this weekend. He had several cans on display. Mike
