So does that mean that sweaty fingers will actually help to preserve leather?

Thanks for the tips. My memory was at fault (after all, we only moved 10 years ago - some things a still buried in the cellar). I dug out the tin, and it says "Flexalan lanolised leather dressing". So it is not pure, and could have all sorts of mystery ingredients. Has anyone else used this product?
