SAPHIR Beauté du Cuir Crème Universelle - All-Purpose Leather Balm for Repair with Jojoba Oil & Beeswax - Non-Pigmented Cream

I love this! This cream is fantastic for rejuvenating any dry leather. I trust any high end shoes, handbags or leather goods to this product.

Polishes and cleans shell cordovan very well. And it has a very pleasant odor.

Fantastic stuff. I'm a huge fan of Saphir products. I don't use anything else for my leathers. I've been using their shoe polishes, cordovan creams, and Saphir Renovateur for years. I decided my leather furniture needed some care and thought of Saphir first. Glad I did. This stuff looks and smells just like the more expensive Renovateur product in the square glass jar, just slightly thinner because it is made with a beeswax and jojoba oil base as opposed to mink oil in the pricey version. This is perfect for large pieces of furniture, car upholstery, leather jackets, camera bags etc... A little goes a long way. One bottle covered an extra large couch (2 coats), a leather lounge chair, a briefcase, and a camera bag. You won't be disappointed. Apply it with a clean rag in a circular motion. Give it time to soak in and then buff gently with a clean rag or brush some minutes later. I waited 30 minutes for my extra neglected leathers to allow it more time to soak in. As always test in an inconspicuous area but I doubt you could do any harm with this. Outstanding product at a great value. Made in France!

Works well on various leather items I have around the house

Look, I love this stuff. I really do. But it's a bit hard to work with. It's very liquidy and so you end up using more than you should because you have to saturate your applicator rag or else it saturates your leather. You just have to be really careful with it. Now, as a conditioner, it's EXCELLENT. It even buffs to a respectable shine because of the wax content but do NOT expect the 28% wax to offer any kind of wax-like protection. It doesn't layer well because it's a conditioner and not a wax. The wax is only a SLIGHT benefit in that it offers some shine with a good buff. So, if you need a high shine, get a wax polish. This is an excellent universal product buy also, it has more solvents than I was told so you DO need to use caution. For example, it takes off sole dressing pretty easily. You barely rub the outsoles and you have paint on your applicator rag. Just be careful with it. Otherwise, it's my favorite conditioner BUT... it's only a conditioner AND... it does have some strong solvents in it.

Great stuff second time using

I took the advice of the Elegant Oxford channel on YouTube to use this as a mild, versatile conditioner for dress shoes and boots. Mr. Soto will use a colored Saphir shoe cream or a leather dye if needed, then give shoes a treatment of this Saphir Universal, and finish dress shoes with a light layer of neutral or tinted wax, and add many thin layers to the toe and heel of the shoe with ice water and a touch of rubbing alcohol to make an amazing mirror finish.The Saphir Universal doesn't have the same cleaning agents and slightly heavier oils and waxes of the Saphir Renovateur conditioner. I try to use products that are mostly composed of plant oils and bees waxes rather than synthetic or mostly other animal oils like mink or lanolin, and almost never petroleum based products.The scent of this is nice, I guess. It kind of reminds me of a clothing store in Paris from the '80s, which is not really my thing but better than a petroleum smell of other products. It *barely* darkened the leather, so I'm not sure how it compares to the alternative water-based and synthetic Venetian conditioner, which I have on order since it's what Grant Stone brand recommends. It has a slightly tacky feel at first, which goes away completely after a few minutes and some buffing/brushing.The conditioner is very liquidy, but you just need to be careful dabbing it from the bottle onto your applicator or to the shoe, and start on smooth pieces of leather to thin it out before spreading it over any holes or brogueing. This product 100% met my expectations and while not cheap, it was reasonable at $15 for the bottle and should last a decent amount of time.

Best leather polish ever

Saphir is something of an institution when it comes to fine leather goods. The creme universelle is one of their most versatile products; the clue is in the name. I use it on car seats, leather furniture, including cordovan shoes. It does a great job of lightly cleaning and moisturising all types of leather. I have used it for years without issue. For instance, apply it to shoes before using shoe creams to recondition dry or soften new leather. Creme universelle dries to a soft slightly waxing finish that isn’t tacky. Very effective and one litre goes a very long way.

Excellent produit pour raviver les vieux blousons en cuir, vraiment bien.

I work at Chanel and we use this on some of the handbags that’s why I decided to order some from here.Use it on plain black or brown leather but please don’t use it on any coloured leather excessively as it can transfer a colour or make the colour run

Great for treating new leather and also helps lessen the appearance of damage on old one
