How Often Should You Condition Leather?

• After every deep clean — soap strips natural oils; the balm restores them
• Monthly for tack in regular use; weekly if used daily in sun or rain
• Before long-term storage to keep leather flexible and protected from drying out
• As soon as you notice surface dullness, stiffness or hairline cracks
• Sparingly on new leather — work it in gradually rather than soaking the surface

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Keep container closed after use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the balm darken light-coloured leather?

All natural-oil conditioners darken leather slightly on first application. The change is usually subtle and even — always test on a hidden patch (girth strap, billet) before applying to a full saddle.

Is it safe on suede or nubuck?

No. Use the balm only on smooth, finished leather. Suede and nubuck need a dry brush and a dedicated suede cleaner — the oils and waxes here will mat the nap.

Can I use it on car or boot leather?

Yes — the formula is identical to any natural leather balm. It conditions boots, gloves, leather upholstery and saddlery alike. Apply sparingly and buff to avoid transfer onto fabric.
