Natural Beeswax Leather Protector and Conditioner

[@FB_Sinan]

I made it with natural cocoa butter, sweet almond oil and beeswax with bain-marie method and there was no darkening on the skin, I tested it on light colored skin.

[@kenhappen2u]

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

That's great! Hope it works well for all your leather goods. :)

@Juelz Angel thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Juelz Angel It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out !

[@tdelli3675]

I have all these ingredients!!! Thank you!!

[@Sportsfan4life]

I use murray's beeswax which is actually a hair product but it works great for conditioning and protecting any leather product

[@johntabor2619]

Thank you

[@anandsivadoss]

Video is simple, good one. Thank you. Have not tried, but will try.

[@trentv5456]

Thank you for this! Just bought a new pair of leather boots and of course, the roads are salty as heck!! Pretty sure I have all the ingredients in the cabinet. I might add in a drop of essential oil for scent as well !!

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

Hope it turns out great for you!

fantastic video

Thankyou. Been trying to move of all chemicals in the house. Just did all the families boots and belts and will see how it goes by the end of the month.

[@olgayakirevich9308]

I think it can protect lips too

[@patburns846]

hi can u advise a soft leather jacket nourisher... thanks.. Keep up the good info + videos

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

I’d think this would work just as well for a softer leather. Is it more of a suede material or is it smooth? For smooth I’d say apply the same way I did for the boots. If it is suede maybe a medium bristle brush to gently work it in would be best. Either way spot check a small area first to make sure it is giving you the results you want.

[@HARRYSUPHOLSTERY]

Love it

[@leilalila7846]

Can we use coconut oil?

[@virathiyam5401]

Have you tried your same diy concoction for your light colored SUEDE boots ? I have a pair of tan SUEDES to condition. I like the idea of beeswax and shea butter but won't the thick sticky castor oil make the leather sticky to clean or polish afterwards? Also, do you think the mixture gives a mattish finish to your shoes instead of shiny?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

I'd definitely say it is more of a matte finish which I like. As to suede, I'd be hesitant to use this recipe. I did some poking around and this blog post seems like it has some good suggestions. shoefilter.com/can-i-polish-suede-shoes/ Hope that helps!

[@darrenfunk5378]

Once made does it need to be stored in a refrigerated or cool space?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

Nope! Nice and shelf stable. I’ve had mine in a drawer for almost a year. Works great.

[@IAm-bi8ot]

Thank you for the great tutorial. Can I use this conditioner on my nubuck leather boots?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

I’d test in on a small patch first to see how you like it. I primarily use this on smooth leather and nubuck is a little different.

[@FB_Sinan]

no...

[@vcommandarv5916]

Will this restore old brittle leather? The leather doesn't fall apart but you can easily rip it by hand through the ends

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

I think it would help on a surface level but if it is particularly thick I don’t know that it would permeate through.

[@vcommandarv5916]

@@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse it's not thick, thank you ☺️❤

[@walijan57]

i like ur video 😊🤗

[@regGf]

hi! thanks for your vid! however, can i use this to condition my leather couch? thanks!

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

You could and it would work well but my worry would be the oils getting in your clothes. A certain amount of the oils will absorb right away but some will still be on the surface and could get into clothing fabrics. Maya be try conditioning part of the couch you don’t sit on first, then see how long the oils stay on the surface. Always spot check a small area to start, too.

[@B3RG3RS0N]

Could this be used on leather work gloves as they require to be soft and flexible?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

For sure! I’d apply the conditioner then let them sit a day or two to fully absorb.

[@thcrtn]

Just bought a lbs from a local fam, looking for uses of the wax... This is funny but only cause how logical it it... "Protection of the skin"

[@adityaagarwal3002]

Are these boots of yours a pull up leather type. If no, could they be used on such leathers. Thanks.

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

These are zip but I’d use it on pull up style no problem

[@sarmadkhan8254]

Can we use coconut oil in place of grapeseed oil?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

I wouldn’t use coconut oil. It’s a harder oil. You could try soybean oil, hemp oil, safflower oil, sweet almond oil, sunflower oil, jojoba oil, etc.

[@quadrugue]

@@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse, what about olive?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

@@quadrugue From what I'm seeing, olive oil isn't a great option either, unfortunately.

[@FB_Sinan]

@@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse yes right you about coconut oil

[@chachachodhery8383]

hi thanks for info vds so can we use eating cooking grape seed oil in this, I brought from costco and second Q is can i use this balm on my leather bag ? thanks so much waiting for reply

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

Hi sorry I missed a whole bunch of comments somehow! You should be able to use grape seed no problem. I still recommend a test patch. As for a bag yes for sure. I would apply it then let it sit a couple days to fully absorb.

[@rraina]

Can this be used on leather boots that I just used kiwi shoe polish on? I want to keep the shoe polish on the leather boots so the shoe polish does not transfer or fades away.

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

What are the ingredients in kiwi? I took a quick look at it and it seems like you might be good with just that.

[@rokie4818]

Thenñx

[@highway2haven]

Would you use this process (or not) on a leather purse/backback? I don't want the end result to feel tacky, or greasy, or get on my clothes (since its a backpack) so what do you suggest?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

If you have another leather item you can try it on first maybe give that a go so you can see if you like the end result. This conditioner isn’t tacky or greasy once you rub it in thoroughly. I think if you applied it and let it sit a few days it would be just fine. Still, like I said before a patch test on another item would be safest.

[@Alyy4]

After I cleaned with tap water , I have pledge wax for parquet can I use that for softening?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

I wouldn't. Flooring is made of much tougher and different material than leather.

[@TheCustomer]

[@MilkT0ast]

Poderia me passar a receita e os materiais em PORTUGUÊS??? OBRIGADO

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

Estou usando o Google para traduzir, espero que faça sentido! 2 colheres de sopa de cera de abelha 2 colheres de sopa de manteiga de karité 1/4 xícara de óleo de semente de uva 1/4 xícara de óleo de rícino

[@bramblebop1904]

Why vinegar?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

Vinegar is naturally acidic so it eats away at dirt, grease, etc. It has proven bacteria fighting properties so it helps really get your leather down to a clean state. It also naturally softens things. That’s why a lot of people like to use it as a natural fabric softener.

[@bramblebop1904]

Interesting... Have you tried soap as well?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

@@bramblebop1904 I haven’t. I’d be a little concerned about residue from soap and having to get the leather pretty wet to properly remove all the soap.

[@bramblebop1904]

Yep.

[@AndyMagoulick]

Do you have a military parade gloss boot polish recipe?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

Sorry I do not. I did a little looking but it seems like most have acetate in it which is something I wouldn’t work with for just standard boots.

[@AndyMagoulick]

@@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse Thank you for looking and the information. I made this yesterday. It looks outstanding.

[@chiya2006]

@@AndyMagoulickyou can add Carnauba wax flakes along with beeswax. That will give a shining effect to the leather. Most expensive shoe polishes might have in it. Same ingredient used in waxing and polishing car waxes

[@jonathanechols9985]

Does it matter what kind of oil you use?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

Yes. Certain oils are better for leather and some should be avoided altogether. Let me know if you have one in particular you are wondering about.

[@highway2haven]

@@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse can you use coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil? Also, if you only use the beeswax and no oil, will the end result be different? I don't want my leather boots 'shiny' I prefer the matte look...so not sure what to use.

[@awaisahmad1514]

Can we use it on whit shoe

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

Yep should be fine. Always a good idea to spot check a small area before you do the whole shoe just in case.

[@V3leathercraft]

Vinegar to clean leather? 🤔🙄 think it damages leather😥😥

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

Only if you leave it on there. This is also a 50/50 water vinegar combination which is then wiped away very quickly. Another example of this is how vinegar does a great job of cleaning rust off tools if used the correct amount of time. If you leave it too long though it will corrode the metal.

[@stevenfoulger6066]

What is the shelf life for this?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

More or less indefinite. I have some I made over a year ago I just used for cleaning tack. Worked great and no rancid smells from oil spoiling or anything.

[@garrettelake3230]

Can you use beeswax alone?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

Yes that will give you the protective layer but no conditioning.

[@AndyMagoulick]

What do you use to stretch leather?

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

If you are doing it professionally folks use slabs of marble and wet leather. You can soak leather in warm water for about ten minutes and stretch by hand.

[@tasharichardson5630]

What about my car leather? It's falling apart lol

[@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse]

Can’t help you much with the falling apart bit (you should see my couch cushions!) but I’d be careful with using this on something your clothing is on a lot. Most of the oils will absorb into the leather but some will stay on top and may get on clothes.
