 Mink Oil Apr 17, 2009
By OldFart
I have used mink oil for years and this product is the best of any out there. It does what it's supposed to do and thats all we ask of a product to do.

 Leaves a white residue Oct 31, 2011
By kynaturalist
Just like Kiwi's Mink Oil, this product does protect leather from the elements but unfortunately leaves a white residue in all of the nooks and crannies even after applying it sparingly. After wiping off any excess oil, the application looks fine. However,as it dries and as one uses the item, an unsightly residue appears, particularly at any crease or crevice in the leather. I could only dissolve the residue with Neats Foot Oil. I have seen reviews that discuss using hair dryers, and even placing shoes in an oven! Folks, I have used mink oils for 40 years and have never had any residue. Kiwi changed the formulation on both products several years ago. Both products used to be translucent in the container, abut now they are an opaque white. Is it any wonder that they leave a white residue? If anyone can recommend a mink oil that does not require hair dryers, ovens, or microwaves, let me know.

Mink Oil for leather Feb 20, 2012
By Bob M
I have used the Sara Lee Kiwi camp dry mink oil on two leather jackets and one pair of leather boots and the results were great. The jackets came out soft and the color was restored. The boots now repel water.

 lard Feb 15, 2012
By joel
I recomend going to wikipedia, and looking up what products like mink oil, neatsfoot oil etc actually do for leather. this is not an extract from the fur of the mink, it is actually lard from its body. mink lard is reasonably good stuff for taking care of leather. However, actuall beef lard is very similar.
neatsfoot oil is also lard, beef lard actually, but its coming from the feet of cattle, so it stays oily at room temperature. Both quote unquote water proof about the same level, I mean temporary that day waterproofing. More permanent waterproofing comes from waxy oil.
Anyhow, its lard. Its better than lard, but not actually worth the cost difference imo. What I did was microwave it so I could spray it in a spray bottle.
wikipedia itself shows that macadamia oil contains more of the active ingredient, and also is liquid at room temperature ( It is highly likely that is the main ingredient of leather honey and leatherique etc)
So many uses Jan 13, 2012

I had not had mink oil for many years and I am now reminded why I used so much of it years ago. This stuff does wonders for my leather goods and I have never used anything that matches its effectiveness for keeping my leather moist and seals water out.
