It provides a natural shine while protecting against environmental stressors like mould and mildew, making it ideal for daily maintenance of saddles, bridles, and boots.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this on my suede riding boots?
No, this product is formulated exclusively for smooth leathers and will ruin the nap of suede or nubuck.
Does it contain petroleum or mineral oils?
No, the Leovet Leather Dressing Balsam is petroleum-free.
How often should I apply the balsam?
It is gentle enough for daily use, but for most items, a weekly or bi-weekly application is sufficient to maintain suppleness.
Will this make my saddle slippery?
When buffed properly, it provides a natural shine without creating a dangerously slippery surface.
Is this safe for horse-tack that comes into contact with the horse's skin?
Yes, it is designed for equestrian use; however, always ensure you buff the leather well to remove any excess before use.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks cloudy or streaky after application
You likely applied too much product. Use a clean, dry cloth to buff the surface thoroughly until the excess is removed.
Product is difficult to spread
Ensure the leather is at room temperature. If the balsam is cold, it may be stiffer; keep the container in a temperate area before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Ensure the leather surface is free from dirt, dust, and dried sweat. Use a damp cloth to wipe the leather clean and allow it to dry completely.

- Treatment: Gently rub the balsam into the leather using circular motions, ensuring even coverage across seams and folds.
- Buffing: Allow the product to penetrate for a few minutes, then buff the surface lightly with a clean cloth to achieve a natural shine.
- Compatibility: This product is strictly for smooth leathers. Do not use on porous, napped, or suede materials as it may alter their texture permanently. Always store the container in a cool, dry place to maintain product consistency.
