Otter Wax Leather Salve | 5oz | All-Natural Universal Conditioner | Made in USA …

This is it!! It's worth the price!! As with any protectant test a small area as it's oil it may darken the item and if not used properly it may leave a white casting especially on stitching! With that said also keep in mind the color of the rag (I used an old T-shirt) that you're using vs the color of the item. With darker pieces it shouldn't matter, but I was also going to use on a white item and the color of the shirt seemed to transfer, but I rubbed it out with another rag, just FYI.Other that that it works wonderful, left the pieces looking soft, subtle and reformed. I like this better that what I'm used to (kiwi) as it didn't seem to be oily to the touch after using, like the item really soaked it up! Using a product like this can add years to your leather pieces! Very happy with this purchase and would recommend!

This is a great product for protecting and water proofing leather. But be advised that it has wax in it, and so it's application requires care depending on what you're using it on. If you get it into stitching, it's going to dry white and you'll have a devil of time getting it out, if you can at all. So using it on couches or dress shoes and boots is probably not a great idea.The wax seals the pores of leather and keeps moisture from penetrating it. I use it on work boots, winter boots that have leather tops, knife sheathes. In all but the last, I'm happy to work it into stitching because it acts as a protectant. It buffs out very nicely, in the areas that you can buff, and over time leads to a wonderful patina on worked leather. The "salve" in it helps to condition leather and keep it supple, but largely as a preservative.The product name is a bit misleading as "salve" does not convey it's waterproofing properties and the care that should be taken with it as a result. Interestingly, on the back of the can, they tout their "Leather Oil" for increased sheen and suppleness. If you're conditioning fine leather on your briefcase, expensive dress boots, and leather furniture, you'd be better served with that product. If you apply this product, the salve, with care to avoid stitches and unfinished leather or suede, it will work well.I see a number of negative review of this based on the fact that it darkened leather. That's a fact of any sort of water proofing or oil-based conditioner on many types of leather and is natural. If you don't want that to happen, choose a product that is not absorbed into the leather.

I love the way it mzkes my boots look. Very nice!! Easy to use and put on my boots.

This product works well but darkened my leather. It clearly says apply in a small test space but I wasn’t able to wait for another product so I used it. In the past, Kiwi hasn’t changed my leather color so much.My shoes were a lighter brown, now they are very dark even after 4 days and trying to rub it out.

This leather salve exceeded all of my expectations and renewed the condition of my purse. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a product to heal their leather item and condition it. We live in a very dry climate, and the conditioning for my purse was way overdue, but this staff fixed all of the scars and scratches on my purse. A great price and a great product.

Great product. I use this on my leather purses and wallets. I use a leather lotion on my purses and wallets to condition them, but wanted a more protective product to layer on top, so I got this. I wanted a product that was nontoxic and colorless since I was putting it on things that would be in contact with my hands/skin. Applies easily, can buff away the excess till there is little to no residue. Makes the leather look nice. Smells good too - kinda like oranges. Doesn't have that nauseating scent a lot of other shoe polishes have. A little goes a long way, so one tin will last a long time.UPDATE: I have used this for a while now and I am still happy with the way it performs, however I have noticed that a films tends to form on the top the product while in the container. I have to peel of this "skin" to get to the product underneath. The product underneath works just fine, but I end up wasting a bit of it because of this issue. This happens even though I keep the container sealed and wrapped in plastic - not sure if it's the formula itself or if the design of the product container isn't airtight enough.

Best leather conditioner ever. Easy to apply and work in and does the job perfectly.

Fantastic product, that breathes new life into leather products. I originally bought this as a pre-cautionary treatment for an Article Leather Couch, after reading their FAQs/Blog. Once it gets worked into the surface it provides a fantastic added level of subtle moisture that really brings out the character of the leather, without any harsh chemicals. One 5oz tin was enough to lightly cover the entire surface of couch, and I even had a little left over to use on a couple of pairs of shoes. I have not used this for any extreme treatments, but look forward to making this a part of keeping these leather items in great shape for the life of them.
