Wood wax– traditional wax for shine, surface protection and water runoff
Shoe wax is usually made up of beeswax, paraffin, natural waxes and sometimes some oils. It is applied to the surface to create ashiny, protective filmwhich repels water and dirt. The wax is perfect when you want to give shoes – or other leather products – aglossy finish and extra protection against rain, slush and wearWax works best on shoes and boots that are already oiled or in good condition — it's more surface protection than nourishment.
Leather grease / leather balm / dubbin– deep nourishment, flexibility and resistance to moisture
Leather grease contains fatty acids, oils and waxes (e.g. beeswax, mink oil, petroleum jelly) that penetrate the pores of the leather. ItMoisturizes, softens and makes the leather supple again, which prevents cracking and drying out. After application, a certain water and dirt-repellent surface is often formed, making the product ideal for heavy, robust shoes such as hiking boots, work boots or winter boots — or for leather that has become dry, stiff or brittle. Leather grease works both as a caring treatment and as basic protection.
Conditioner / leather conditioner / leather cleaning conditioner– care, cleaning and softening treatment for smooth leather
Conditioners are milder products, often based on natural oils and fats, intended torestore the leather's softness, maintain its natural suppleness and prevent drying outBecause they are gentler than heavy fats or thick waxes, they are particularly suitable forfiner leather, light-colored shoes or leather products that must not become dull or oily(e.g. dress shoes, bags, furniture). Conditioner makes the leather supple without dramatically changing the shine or texture.
