Effax Leather Balm, 500ml

Effax has always produced high quality- these are exectly what you want. They are slightly expensive but theres no point in buying cheap if you want to care for quality leather products. Ill buy these all the time.

I am picky about scents but this one is great! It was easy to apply to my old, dry saddle and gave it a beautiful makeover.

I like this leather balm. I got it to condition leather dog leashes. The smell is typically of beeswax. If you do not like that smell, you will not like the smell of this. However, I will mention that the main drawback is that it leaves a little bit of a sticky feel in the hand that takes a few uses before it goes away. It also doesn’t leather leather very shiny and has a more matte finish.

I really like the scent. It’s not strong, but light and pleasant. It’s not greasy either and absorbs nicely into leather. So far so good, only been using it for about a week on my saddle but I really like it!

Muy buen producto, revitaliza el cuero casi instantáneamente

Hi there! I would say that I was a bit confused by the label displayed on the container: lanolin. Whaat? Where was the beeswax and the avocado oil? On the website of Effax was written so, but not on the container. However I sent an email to Effax and they confirmed that their balm contains the beeswax (I was after) + the lanolin + the avocado oil. WHEW! I used confidently though on my Alpinestars leather motorcycle boots. Because the balm is a thick one (containing the beeswax) I warmed up the boots with a hair dryer and then I applied the balm without mercy. I left it over night, then I polished the boots in the morning (old school/ military style). I cannot say the boots became shinny as a mirror and that wasnt my purpose anyway. I commute using a sport motorcycle during a lot of poring rain in Vancouver, British Columbia for at least 45min each way, pretty much every day. Those boots were top rated waterproof but the Effax help them out to stay that way, too. No water could remain on them! Oh YEA! The smell of the Effax Balm seems do not being chemical (and Im pretty sensitive at the nasty chemical smells) . It is a sort of a smell, but an OK one to me one. The color of the balm is yellowish, but once it is applied on a warmed surface of leather it will become quite transparent and it wont leave any yellowish tracks on the leathers. Because we are talking about beeswax I can tell that the balm is a durable, trustworthy, stubborn soldier against the rain. I mean a lot of rain. Good for the apocalyptic movies. I used a previous Effax balm on my leather motorcycle gloves and jackets very successfully too. It saved my leather for years and years of riding. Overall, all my leathers seem to be very happy with the Effax balm (soft and dry). The Effax leather balm is made in Germany. It is written on the container as we could find this detail on Effax website. Hopefully I created you a fair idea about this balm. I wouldnt hesitate to buy one again, as soon as I finish this one. Godspeed my friends!

My saddle manufacturer recommends using this product only, so I bought it. My saddle comes out beautiful every time. The balm is thick but spreads easily. Super high quality and will take good care of your expensive leather items.

This balm was recommended by a saddle fitter. It’s nourishing but also includes a small amount of bees wax to help protect against water damage. It goes on thinner than you’d expect from a balm that takes a little bit of pressure to get out of the jar. I was absorbed readily by both my newer saddles and my vintage ones. I’m going to avoid using it on items that still need dying or deep moisturizing since the wax can inhibit their absorption. Thanks to this product I feel better about my saddles being ridden in the rain for hours.

Great product, saddle looks like new.

Love this product as I have bought it before. It was not shipped properly resulting in the jar being open when I received it. It was also starting to melt as a result. Cheap shipping material that could result on disaster if it had been a little hotter. Also, no bubble wrap and jar could have easily cracked in addition tO the lid becoming completely undone. (It wasnt loose when it arrived it was completely off. Small amount of product was on rim.)
