| | | Lanolin?????
It says in wikipedia that " Lanolin, also called, Adeps Lanae, wool wax, wool fat, or wool grease, a greasy yellow substance from wool-bearing animals, acts as a skin ointment, water-proofing wax, and raw material (such as in shoe polish). Lanolin is "wool fat" or grease, chemically akin to wax, which is secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals, such as sheep. These glands are associated with hair follicles."
So, pinnacles leather conditioner has "wool fat" in it? am i the only one who thinks thats kind of gross? |

I hope this doesn't get into a talk about exotic foods  |

| | | Do not use-
Solvent-based Silicone or Lanolin-based conditioning products as they have trouble reaching the leathers deep fibres, also avoid using leather-conditioning creams on covered leathers as they cannot penetrate the surface finish and the residue will remain leaving a greasy surface on the leather. The silicone oil will dissolve out the leather's natural oils and tend to make the leather sticky. Use a product that contains natural penetrating oils that will nourish the fibres and restore the leather to its natural suppleness. |

Lexol Leather Conditioner sucks, and that's for sure. Pinnacle leather conditioner has lanonin and does a fine job conditioning leather, and is the best leather conditioner I've tried up to date. Lexol leaves leather so sticky.
