Chamberlains Leather Milk Chamberlain's Leather Milk Healing Balm

Chamberlain's Leather Milk Healing Balm works great. However, no balm or conditioner will cover all scratches. To blend/cover REALLY stubborn scratches you have use a colored leather cream. But no worries, this conditioner blends/covers most scratches. You'll like it! Applicator sponge works great to control and move around the product. Yes, it darkens finished leather, even dark leathers. 2-3 hours to dry. If your leather jacket was manufactured with a mat or satin finish, this conditioner will dry to a mat finish. Don't like the dull mat finish on your leather jacket? Me neither. Let's give that old leather some shine again. Hah! Don't bother hunting for leather jacket shiner. I didn't find one. But I did figure out how to shine my jacket. It's easy. To shine the surface of your leather jacket, you have to apply a light wax and buff to a shine. Here is how I did it on my medium-to-dark brown genuine leather jacket. My jacket came finished from manufacturer with a distressed finish and satin shine. The distressing job was terrible. I used Leather Milk Healing Balm and Leather Honey conditioner to condition, darken, and cover/blend those areas where distressing looked unrealistic. I left areas of the jacket untreated where the "distressing" looked natural and realistic (at the seams, cuffs, collar, bottom hem, etc.). Allow to dry 2-3 hours. To create shine you need a neutral-colored WAX. I used Kiwi shoe wax "Neutral." Don't use wax, you say? It will clog the leather's pores and restrict it from breathing? Hah! This cow is dead! Forget all that nonsense. We're only going to use a little wax. Besides, I've been globbing wax on my LEATHER shoes for YEARS and they've never complained for being short of breath. In fact, my shoes look AWESOME. Be aware applying neutral shoe wax will further darken your leather. Experiment on an inconspicuous spot. OK. Cut an old cotton tshirt and ball it up so you have nice smooth dipping surface. Very lightly rub the ball into the wax. Very lightly rub the wax onto the jacket working in small circles. I say LIGHTLY because we only want to wax to lay on the upper surface texture of the leather. Do not smash the wax in the leather's microscopic cracks. Waxing the leather's TOP surface will bring out the leather's awesome texture and allow the unwaxed lower microscopic cracks to breath. If you are waxing a distressed jacket, apply the wax lightly to those areas that are NOT worn or distressed. Apply the wax to the center patch of non-distressed leather, working in circles from the center of the area gradually applying less and less wax as you near those distressed seams. Again, waxing only the very top surface of the leather's texture. Allow the wax to dry, 5 min. With a soft, clean cloth or clean, horsehair shoe brush, VERY lightly buff the waxed areas. See? Easy and AWESOME. To make the leather shinier, repeat the process as many times as you like. Wax repels water, adding a layer of protection, preserving your leather jacket. To remove wax, towel off the wax with a towel and rubbing alcohol. I looked EVERYWHERE for this information and came up empty. I hope folks find this helpful.

Less is more! Apply super lightly This container is a lifetime supply. The sponge pad is just soft enough to never scuff.and barely pick up any polish It's true, it's probably 90% coconut oil. How that justifies the other reviewer's 1-star, I'll never know. They've whipped up the oil for easy application. Texture is somewhere between whipped and lotion. I cleaned each pair first with a clean damp old undershirt and let them dry. Start with a tiny dab on the sponge and move fast to apply evenly. You don't want a glob to sit on the leather too long. It does make the leather darker, and the glob will leave a dark spot. The leather readily absorbs the stuff and will mostly even out within a couple days - probably faster if your house is warmer than 68F. I was a little worried about the darkness and unevenness but 2 days later and they're less darkened and no unevenness. I did 2 pairs of loafers and 1 pair of boots and probably used 1/4 tsp total. One was an especially soft leather I was concerned about scuffing with the sponge - nope. All 3 pairs look so much better. The boots had light shoe polish already and this stuff made it through. The leather looks and feels "healthier", rejuvenated. I haven't tested water resistance yet since that wasn't my goal. For $16, I'm pretty sure I'll never need to buy another. I'm testing out on my couch and recliner tomorrow. If it goes well, I bet I'll still have half the container left.

Pros: Very easy to use Nice light coconut scent Conditions the leather nicely Reduces the appearance of scratches. Use this on the couch before it looks dried. Ours is still in good condition, but now it. looks new! And yes, new IS slightly darker. There was minor sun fading. Cons: Don't have any so far Considerations: This doesn't HEAL the scratches. They are still there, but the conditioning does reduce their appearance. Finer scratches disappear quickly, deep ones will still be noticed by texture. I might have to do a little light sanding (NOT 600! Too coarse! 😬😔) For the deeper scratches I scooped up some of the milk on my finger tho work it into the leather without losing a bunch into the sponge. I let it sit a little, just a few minutes, then buffed it into the surrounding leather. Worked out great! If you're doing the whole couch, put the jar in the fridge so it gets stiff. You'll get less on the sponge, and less will soak into the sponge before it gets worked into the leather. I learned it the opposite way. I opened it as soon as I got it (it's December in Minnesota) and used it on a couple scratches. I had to press really hard to get the "milk" onto the sponge. When I used it today, I pressed really hard again while looking at the work in front of me and realized I had squished it out of the jar! 🤣 Also, it's kinda hard to wash off your hands. Wear gloves if you wish. Overall, I'm really liking this product.

This made my 30 year old leather chairs look like new! It moisturized and buffed out scratches. It was easy to use. This is an effective product that will make your leather last longer. Great product!

I purchased this with the intention to use on a couple of heavier worn areas in my 6 y/o Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit interior, like the drivers seat and console. I have tried several automotive leather interior, "rejuvenation" and cleaner/care products with some reasonable success, like Sonax, Adam's, Chemical Guys etc... but most seem to be impressive in the first 24-48 hours and then as days go on, that new rich leather look starts to dissipate and back to its aged worn look. i am not sure if mine being a dark brown leather shows more than say black does but I find mine to get quite dull in appearance, even kind of chalky. This Leather balm was very easy to apply. I ended up apply to every square inch of my interior. It takes very little product and spreads very easily. Follow the instructions and let sit the recommended amount of time, and just to make sure you do not have any excess that might leave some oily residue, just buff very lightly with a clean microfiber towel and voila. I have now had this applied for three weeks and it is still holding that nice new color richness that I was looking for, without being overly glossy or saturated with goopy chemicals. I am very impressed. As far as the heavily worn areas, i mean it did reduce the appearance slightly. Its kind of like trying to hide the lines and wrinkles in our face. You are not going to eliminate them, however it was definitely improved over previous and I suspect continual applications will only aid in longevity now. I think this a very good maintenance product, and only wish I had owned the vehicle sooner in its life and this would have kept the leather looking 100 percent new.

Je l'ai acheté pour atténuer les griffures de mon chat dans le fauteuil en cuir. C'est efficace pour les griffures peu profondes, mais les griffures plus profondes restent bien visible. J'ai bien peur qu'un produit miracle n'existe pas :) L'emballage du produit n'était pas du tout adapté. J'ai reçu le colis complétement ouvert (voir photo). Le produit était heureusement encore présent. Délai respecté.

Buen producto bien presentado

Used leather balm on leather vachetta straps, really hydrates leather. Applied leather balm using sponge which came with the product.

This is an excellent product for leather products easy to use and a little goes along way. On the photo the right hand side has been treated the left has not been, I think the photo says all
