Leather Revive is a water-based, oil emulsion that forms a rich cream-like product that revives older leathers that have become hard, brittle and dried out. When applied to leather, the product penetrates the surface, coating each individual fibre with a balanced application of natural oil, making the leather much softer. One application of Leather Revive is enough to soften the majority of leathers. If your leather is particularly stiff or brittle you can apply more product to further soften the leather. This product can be used independently or it can be used during the restoration process to soften the leather before making any repairs or applying colour or finish.
