Passed on by word of mouth

Susan & Vince · Port Townsend

I bought this cream as a last resort for two leather couches I had that were scratched and ugly and a mess!! Used it and I am amazed!! Both look gorgeous!

Tammy · Two leather couches

We were considering having new “front panels” made for our bathroom cabinets until I discovered your product via internet search. You make an easy remedy to wake up old cabinets.

Steve · Plantation, FL

You guys have the best leather care product and at least equal customer service. I have been riding hunters and jumpers for 62 years, have tried every leather care product and yours is superior to them all.

Quick answers

What makes Skidmore's Leather Cream different from other conditioners?

Our formulas use natural oils and beeswax. We do not use any animal oils/fats in any of our products. Our unique blend of ingredients works magic on leather — bringing dry leather back to life.

What is Galley Wax used for?

The Galley Wax was formulated in response to many requests for a food-safe wood treatment. It is made with pure flax seed oil and beeswax and does not turn rancid. It is ideal for butcher block counters, cutting boards, wooden bowls & utensils.

Are your wood finishes low-VOC?

Yes. Our wood care line, in fact all our products, have less than 10 ppm VOCs. You can use them indoors and outdoors on furniture, cabinetry, and woodwork.

How often should I apply Leather Cream?

Every 3–6 months for everyday items. Boots and gear out in the weather want lighter coats more often; leather furniture can go a year. If the leather looks dry, it is time.

Can I call with a question?

Absolutely. 800-785-2466 — you will get Vince or Susan. If we are hands-full, leave a message; we will call back.
