The formula of the macadamia renovateur is very similar to the famous/traditional Saphir Médaille d`Or Renovateur, but without the mink oil. To limit the use of oils from animal origin, the mink oil is replaced with macadamia oil known for its nourishing and regenerating properties. This cream is perfect to restore and condition your leather shoes or other goods and is fully colourless. Important - please DO NOT use this product on shoes that have a burnished finish. This is a powerful product that can strip unwanted layers of polish from your shoes but it can sometimes remove the delicate burnished finish on many of our best shoes. This is not a fault of the manufacturing or the product, it is simply not a process we would recommend.
