A 2 oz tin of beeswax and tallow leather cream, made in the USA. It's a thick cream that conditions dry leather and buffs to a soft shine. I'd use it on boots, belts, wallets and watch straps. I first carried this cream back in 2015, and now it's back.
- Three ingredients: tallow, beeswax and seed oil
- Brings back dry and scuffed leather
- No petroleum or silicone
- Goes on with a cloth or your fingers
- Made in the USA
What's in the tin
-
Tallow: an animal fat, the same kind of fat that was in the hide before it was tanned. It's what puts life back into dry leather.
-
Triple-filtered beeswax: food grade. It gives the cream its body and the soft shine when you buff it.
-
Seed oil: keeps the cream soft enough to work in. Seed oil instead of nut oils, which are a common allergen.
That's the whole list, and it's printed on the bottom of every tin so you know what you're putting on your leather.
How to use it
- Clean the leather and let it dry.
- With a soft cloth, work a small amount in using small circles. Your fingers work too, since the warmth helps it melt in.
- Let it soak in for an hour, then buff with a dry cloth. Give it a day before hard wear.
Very dry or neglected leather can take 2 to 5 coats. Stop when the leather stops taking it in and wipe off the extra. After that, once a month for hard-worn work boots, or once or twice a year for a belt or wallet.
Good to know
-
It can darken leather. Light and medium colors darken the most, and the darkening lightens some over time. On black and dark brown you'll barely see it. Test a hidden spot first.
-
Not for suede or nubuck. Smooth leather only. It may not soak into coated or sealed leather, or exotics like reptile.
