A plant-derived ageing-resistant oil mixture with UV filters
Modern leather or especially old leather can become hard and stiff with time. If left untreated, it can lead to cracking. Geist. Leather Softener is a plant-derived, anti-ageing oil mixture that penetrates deeply even on heavily top coated leather and softens the inner fibres of leather. A wide spectrum UV filter within the product prevents further damage and antioxidants prevent cracking.
Leather is made up of a bundle of protein fibres called collagen. With time, they lose moisture and the lubricating oils within oxidise causing leather to harden. When leather is soft, these fibres slide whereas on hard leather the friction within these fibres increases. Geist. Leather Softener penetrates deeply and is absorbed by the fine bundles of protein fibres. As the lubrication penetrates, fibres begin to slide over each other again making it soft. Depending on the severity of the hardness, 1 to 2 treatments may be required.
