Natural Leather Care
The Otter Wax approach to leather care runs parallel to how we care for our own skin; with treatments focused on nourishment, hydration, and replenishing essential vitamins and nutrients.
CONDITIONS LEATHER
Replenish dehydrated leather with nourishing ingredients that restore coloration, prevent-dry cracking, and increase the lifespan of your leather goods.
SHINES & PROTECTS
Restore natural luster and shine to leather dulled by time and heavy use. Our proprietary wax blend locks in conditioning nutrients and protects against the elements.
COLOR-SAFE FORMULA
Our products never contain chemical dyes or colorants, making them safe to use on both light, dark, and naturally colored leathers.
Works Great On:
- Leather Boots
- Jackets
- Bags & Luggage
- Shoes
- Furniture
- Car Interiors
- Motorcycle Seats
- Gloves
Directions
1. Clean
Ensure that the surface of your leather is clean and free of any dirt, dust, or debris. For best results use Otter Wax Saddle Soap. Always test on a small, discreet area before use.
2. Apply
Apply with a soft lint-free cloth and gently work conditioner into the leather one small area at a time. Always treat the entire item to ensure even coloration and a uniform finish.
3. Dry
Allow Otter Wax Leather Salve to fully absorb into leather until leather surface begins to appear hazy.
4. Buff
Use a horsehair brush or soft lint-free cloth to buff away the hazy layer of wax and restore natural luster and shine.
Over the past decade Otter Wax has become the most trusted name in leather care. We're a small, family-owned business based in Portland, Oregon. Our full line of handmade leather care products offer unparalleled quality.

I love this balm!!! The leather turns out nice and soft! The workability of it is perfect, it can easily be spread evenly for fast absorbtion. Great for any leather item you want to be water resistant!

Honestly an amazing product, I highly recommend this for adding a layer of protection to your leather products, I took my old Calvin Klein loafers and brought them back to life! They luck lustrous now with a clean shine that has me confident that they won't dry out and fall apart.I've also place it on some synthetic material as a protective coating to ensure that the plastic doesn't dry up and fall apart to quickly.

This SAVED my Doc Martens!!! I used two different leather conditioners (ones that were highly recommended by a vintage clothing stop - who restores old leather pieces) and my Docs looked worse each time... Some areas of my boots started looking lighter and faded (still looking for a picture of them from before - will upload if I can find it). My friend who owns the vintage clothing shop said it's probably poor quality dye on the leather (which doesn't surprise me b/c Docs aren't the brand they used to be).She suggested I find a leather worker who might be able to refinish the boots for me but I wasnt sure if that was worth the time/money... So, I bought this otter wax as a last ditch effort. I put it on last night and they look WAY better! No more blotchy color and the leather looks hydrated again. FINALLY!I can't speak to all boots, but mine did get slightly darker with this wax, BUT I am totally fine with that considering the leather was getting ashy and close to cracking. (There's also a possibility that this IS the original color but I was getting used to the blotchy ashy look) I have a feeling it's the original finish (or lack of finish) on these boots was the problem all along. This will likely be the last pair of Docs I buy but I'm grateful for the couple bucks I spent to keep them around awhile longer!

I bought the Otter Wax Leather Salve to bring some shine and life back to my daughter’s old boots, and it worked well! The salve is easy to apply and has a pleasant, subtle smell. It’s water-resistant and helped to restore some durability to the worn leather. I could tell a noticeable difference in the look of the boots after just one application—they look refreshed and protected.The salve is easy to use, and a little goes a long way, so it’s great value for the price. I love that its all-natura, and the fact that it’s made in the USA is a nice bonus. Overall, it did exactly what I needed—revived the leather and added some much-needed shine. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to restore old leather goods

This is a little jar but it works like a big jar! I have used it on leather purses and shoes and it creates a beautiful shine and glow on whatever it touches. Use a soft cloth and rub in until it starts to shine.

The Otter Wax Leather Salve is an incredible product that exceeded my expectations. Here’s what stood out:Pros:Amazing Conditioning Power: This salve brought my old, worn-out leather boots back to life! It deeply conditions and restores softness without leaving them greasy.All-Natural Formula: Knowing it’s made with all-natural ingredients gives me peace of mind. It’s gentle yet effective and safe for all types of leather.Versatility: I’ve used it on boots, bags, and even a leather couch, and it worked wonders on each item.Compact and Long-Lasting: The 2oz tin may seem small, but a little goes a long way. It’s compact and easy to store.Made in the USA: I appreciate supporting a high-quality product that’s made locally.Cons:Application Takes Time: Because it’s a salve, you need to apply it by hand and buff it in, which can take a bit longer than sprays. However, the results are well worth the effort.No Instant Shine: If you’re looking for a high-gloss finish, this salve won’t provide that. It’s more about deep conditioning and restoring.Overall:The Otter Wax Leather Salve is perfect for anyone who wants to rejuvenate and protect their leather items naturally. It’s effective, versatile, and easy to use with a little patience. Highly recommended for extending the life of your favorite leather pieces!

Otter Wax does a great job of renewing the look of my Blundstones. Works much better than the Blundstone cream. Only negative comment is that the container is smaller than the size posted in the ad. Apparently this is common with this product. Contacted the seller - Otter Wax, they blamed Amazon and would not send me the proper size.

Easy to use and it made my full-grain leather purse supple. Echoing with other reviewers, use it sparingly. There was slight darkening of the leather after this cream but totally worth it for the awesome results!

As per the instruction, after the leather absorbed the wax it became cloudy so I used a soft polishing cloth to polish it for half an hours and it still look cloudy/ fade out. Will be getting a horse hair brush to try again.
