Renapur Leather Balsam – Conditions, Restores & Protects Leather | Natural Leather Conditioner for Sofas, Shoes, Boots, Bags, Car Interiors & Saddlery (Sweet Sandalwood)

Renapur is a ‘Swiss army knife’ for leather care. There are multiple uses for it across a range of leather goods from boots and shoes to leather jackets and furniture. Here are some ‘case studies’: Cherry Red Dr Martens Boots: I used to do very traditional ‘military style’ polishing, with coloured KIWI and buffing with original DM style boots. But after discovering Renapur a few years back I’d only do this if the boots were scuffed, faded or needed individual care—with Renapur, simply clean with a damp cloth, dry, and spend 10-15 seconds with a Renapur sponge. High shine. Better than traditional polishing. No bugging required. Great! Matte/lightly finished shoes. I have some brown Dr Martens and some cowboy boots that have a matte ‘waxy’ kind of finish. Renapur keeps both looking as they should, deepening the colour, working with the patina, waterproofing, preventing cracking, etc. Here Renapur’s conditioning ability shows. 1970s leather jacket. I found an old Schott biker jacket that hadn’t been used in years by the look of it. The leather was free of actual splits, cracks or holes but was so dry such issues would surely arrive soon if it was worn as normal. This was a slower process. There’s no point slathering on loads of Renapur, however board-dry and arid a jacket seems. Thin layer. Leave. See how it is. Go again. After even one coat the leather was returning to life, 3-4 coats and the leather had probably absorbed all it could and felt as supple as it should. Oh, and squeaks and creaks had gone. A lot of colour came back too, although the patina remained. All in all, it went from ‘jumble shop junk’ to ‘lovely vintage piece’ with Renapur and a sponge. Impressive. 25 year old Chelsea boots. These were bought but my mum when I was a teenager. After some pairs didn’t look great in the shoe shop my Mum suggested some ‘Alfred Sargents’. They were 180 quid! Almost 3x the price. They’ve been polished 100s of times ‘traditionally’, and resoled once, but as they’re only used now than then for ‘best’ all I use now is a Renapur sponge. Keeps them looking great. Renapur seems to give leather what it needs. It will make leather last MUCH longer by preventing cracking and splits. It restores a lot of colour, fixes (minor) scratches, smells nice, lasts a long time, saves time over faffing with other methods. Can’t praise it enough.

Despite my previous dispositions, I truly believe this is worth the price. At £15 I thought this to be a little steep, but decided to take the plunge after reading some of the reviews and being super impressed by the visual results. This definitely doesn’t disappoint. I bought this specifically to revitalise and hydrate the leather on some vintage Destroy boots I bought second hand recently. Immediately I noticed how easily the product soaked into the leather and got it looking soft and renewed. I’ve added some photos of the progress, before, during, immediately after, and once the product had dried. The smell isn’t offensive, or overwhelming. It’s quite subtle but it is there when applying. I haven’t noticed the smell lingering on the boots once it has dried/absorbed into the leather. I’ve tried on a couple of my jackets, and I believe it may take longer for the product to absorb/effect that of a shinier leather? Although this is just my assumption from using the product three times. Overall, there is enough left that I’m expecting this product to move house with me, so a £15 investment isn’t the worst financial decision I’ve made. I’d recommend if you’ve got a lot of leather items, especially for things that need a little extra moisture!

Easily applied sparingly… although I’ve put blankets over to prevent any wax transferring to clothes. Needs time to sink into leather. Second application may be wise.

I was a bit put off by some of the reviews saying it was greasy, but I thought of giving it a go as my leather sofas are getting a bit tired. I’m glad I did, they now look fantastic, but I picked up a few things on the way. 1) You need a tiny amount. I bought two tubs, as I have two sofas. The truth is that one tub will probably do both sofas half a dozen times over - a tiny smear on the hard sponge provided then work it in gives a brilliant shine. 2) It works better if its cold and hard, so don’t hold the tub whilst you’re working it or the heat from your hand will warm it and the sponge will clog with sludge. I don’t think it needs to be refrigerated, room temperature did it ok for me, but don’t warm it up - if it gets a bit soft or sludgy have a break and put it somewhere to cool and harden for a while. 3) Working in small areas is best, a light smear on the sponge then work it in. 4) This doesn’t clean, it reconditions the leather, so if you’re going to clean it as well, do that first and let the cleaner dry out thoroughly. 5) Don’t underestimate the time it will take to do a whole sofa. A two seater took me the best part of half an hour, if you try to rush it you’ll get dollops that won’t absorb and they’ll get sticky. Work methodically and don’t try to rush it 6) If you’ve got the time - and the inclination - a second treatment an hour or so after the first produces even better results. 7) If you do put a bit much on, and it does get sticky, you can polish it off with a linen cloth. Either way, a final polish brings it up to a high sheen. This worked for me, and I got fantastic results

Excellent leather treatment, easy to use and very effective

I'm impressed. Applied the product to a leather three seater sofa and leather chair. It's relatively easy to apply (using the separately supplied sponge) and creates a high shine that lasts much longer than cheaper spray polishes that claim to contain beeswax. It's surprisingly versatile and can be used on a variety of articles. I've used it on leather shoes and slippers but it appears it can be safely used on any leather, as it is absorbed and doesn't transfer to clothing. The slipper leather has just started to show signs of cracking, so I'm hoping that regular applications will moisturise the leather and either stop or slow down the degradation. All looking good so far.

It’s absolutely fantastic balsam, it’s bought my two leather sofas up to new looking, please be aware that you only need a tiny bit on sponge it definitely goes along way. I will definitely be buying again and will be recommending to all my friends and family

Bought this to use on new leather jacket - mainly because highly recommended and safe ingredients. Definitely works well, softens, conditions and increases water repellency... Obviously leather jackets are not meant as rain coats but if caught in odd shower this stuff definitely helps. I've put 2 coats on - with a few weeks in-between. Second application may have been unnecessary because it did leave a slightly waxy feel. Certainly won't need any more applications for several months or maybe even a year .. depending on use and weather conditions. Anyways to sum up, yes it's a bit expensive but it's got all natural ingredients, easy to apply - with provided sponge , a little goes a long way and it does a good job. Highly recommend.

Cumple perfectamente con su función de nutrir y proteger.

Nice product, good price and delivery fast.

Gute Qualität

Using it more than 20 yrs, the best care for leather shoes and accessories

Jetzt weiß ich, warum das Zeug so populär ist: bei Zimmertemperatur ist es mühelos auf das Leder aufzutragen, ein Schwamm liegt bei. Es riecht angenehm ohne aufdringlich zu sein - und, ja, Wasser perlt vom Leder danach gut ab und Schmutz haftet nicht. Bisher an Schuhen mit glattem Leder und an einem Ledersofa getestet. Perfektes Ergebnis. Bitte, wie in der Anleitung beschrieben, wirklich dünn auftragen. Weniger ist mehr. Hält dann nicht nur länger sondern vermeidet „Fettflecken“ auf dem Leder. Besser als das Lederwachs, das ich bisher verwendet habe.
