Mink Oil

It's thin, doesn't have any chemical ordor, and absorbed very well, even with chrome tanned box calf (Weinheimer box calf, in my case). For vegetable tanned leather, do expect initial darkening, but it will lighten significantly once absorbed. Older leathers are more likely to absorb more and darkening will likely stay for good. For quarterly or semiannual care, this oil does it for dress shoes. However, do not expect any waterproofing to come with just this oil. That is for the tin mink oil grease, or else wax polish, to accomplish.

I highly recommend. I just wish a larger bottle version, maybe 16oz, is available.

I used Milk Oil on a 25 year old leather sofa from Macys. The product sinks into the leather and left it feeling smooth and supple/softer. Yeah, it also adds a waterproofing to the finish which was secondary importance for me. The real benefit is making the sofa look closer to new.
