Common Questions

Why does my leather appear darker after application?

Howard Products Leather Salve deeply penetrates and nourishes the leather, which can temporarily darken its appearance, especially on lighter tones. This is a normal effect of conditioning and typically evens out over time as the product fully absorbs. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Is it suitable for all leather types?

This product is formulated for smooth leather surfaces. It is not recommended for use on suede or nubuck leather.
