Made in Taiwan. A bestseller in Japan and trusted by multiple domestic apparel brands. ------------- ⚠️ Important Notes Shine vs. Texture: While this leather oil adds shine, waxing alone cannot transform rough, matte leather into a finely sanded mirror-finish leather. High Wax Content: Formulated with a high wax concentration focusing on deep conditioning and waterproofing. It is fully compatible with grain leather, nubuck, and suede. Vegetable-Tanned Leather: Vegetable-tanned leather will naturally darken when any leather oil on the market is applied. This is an inherent characteristic of the material; please apply a very thin layer with care. Application Differences: Matte leather can be waxed directly. Glossy/smooth leather requires a two-step process: application (waxing) and buffing (de-waxing). Please refer to the instructions below. Color Selection: The Black version provides both conditioning and color restoration (strictly for black leather goods only!). The Clear Neutral version is suitable for all leather colors and does not restore color. ------------- 💡 How to Choose: "Clear - Universal Neutral" vs. "Black - Enhanced Color Restoration" Clear - Universal Neutral: Suitable for the conditioning and cleaning of any leather color (including black). This version is highly recommended when using the product as a cleaning wax. Black - Enhanced Color Restoration: Restricted to black leather only. It restores color while conditioning, offering deep-penetrating color restoration for both synthetic and genuine leathers. ------------- 📘 Instructions for Use 1. For Grain Leather Apply the leather oil onto the leather. (Reduce the amount for synthetic leather; increase the amount for heavy or rough genuine leather). Spread evenly using your fingers, a cotton pad, a wiping cloth, or a waxing sponge. For glossy/smooth leather, apply a thin layer. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then use a clean cotton pad or cloth to buff off excess oil in circular motions in the same direction (this step is called "de-waxing"). 2. For Suede & Nubuck Apply the leather oil onto a clean cotton pad, cloth, or sponge, and spread it out smoothly. Apply to the leather using a gentle patting motion. Do not overuse or allow the oil to completely soak the leather. (Flattening of the nap or temporary darkening is a natural reaction and will recover over time). 3. As a Cleaning Wax When to use: When the leather is soiled, stained with old oil/wax, or has deteriorated and developed a sticky residue. Wipe the leather item with a wrung-out damp cloth, dry it with a clean dry cloth, and let it air-dry in a well-ventilated area. (If there is dirt trapped in the grain crevices, brush it out with a horsehair brush). Apply the leather oil onto the leather (reduce for synthetic leather; increase for heavy/rough genuine leather). Spread evenly using your fingers, a cotton pad, a wiping cloth, or a waxing sponge. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then use a clean cotton pad or cloth to buff off excess oil in circular motions in the same direction. If any staining or residue persists, gently heat the wax on the leather surface with a hair dryer and wipe it away. Repeat steps 2–4 to complete the cleaning and conditioning process. 4. Cleaning Salt Stains & Efflorescence When to use: Due to the extensive use of acidic and alkaline solvents during the manufacturing process of certain specialty leathers, salt accumulation occurs. After conditioning, deep-seated salt stains may surface and affect the appearance. Wipe the leather item with a wrung-out damp cloth, dry it with a clean dry cloth, and let it air-dry in a well-ventilated area. (If salt residue remains in the grain crevices, gently brush it away with a horsehair brush). Apply the leather oil onto the leather (reduce for synthetic leather; increase for heavy/rough genuine leather). Spread evenly using your fingers, a cotton pad, a wiping cloth, or a waxing sponge. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then use a clean cotton pad or cloth to buff off excess oil in circular motions in the same direction. ------------- 🌿 Yangmingshan Estate Honey & Beeswax To ensure stable pollination in our English herb garden and organic blueberry orchard at the Atelier Foya private estate in Yangmingshan, we first introduced hives and bees in 2009.
