The [[National Institutes of Health]] household products database lists Behold as containing [[propane]], [[butane]], and [[naphtha]].<ref>[https://www.whatsinproducts.com/types/type_detail/1/2869 Behold Furniture Polish-Old Product] at the [[Consumer Product Information Database]]</ref> Propane and [[isobutane]] blends are used as [[Aerosol spray|propellants]] for [[Cleaning agent|household cleaners]].<ref>[http://www.ec.europa.eu/food/fs/sc/scf/out26_en.pdf Opinion on propane, butane and iso-butane as propellant gases for vegetable oil-based aerosol cooking sprays and water-based emulsion cooking sprays]</ref>
Aerosol furniture polishes apply a thin layer of [[silicone oil]]s, rather than the thicker, more durable layer of solid waxes. Fine furniture craftsmen warn that the silicone oils can penetrate through tiny cracks in the finish and make eventual refinishing very difficult.
