Ingredients

Instructions

  1. To make homemade leather conditioner add beeswax and castor oil to a small glass pyrex measuring cup

  2. Place the pyrex measuring cup in a small saucepan of water on medium heat and melt until completely liquid

  3. Pour into a glass storage container
  4. Allow to completely cool before using
  5. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight

To Use

  1. Clean the leather with a wet rag and soapy water, taking care to rinse off all soap.

  2. Allow leather to dry completely. I generally wait 12 hours.
  3. Using a clean rag or your bare hands, apply the homemade leather conditioner in gentle circles until the leather has been completely covered. Wipe off any excess.
  4. Allow the leather to dry once more, another 6-12 hours.
  5. Reapply as needed. I use this every month or more depending on the weather conditions and how much I wear my boots.

Notes

This homemade leather conditioner will darken leather. As it wears off, leather will lighten again.
