Does this product contain silicon? Does it darken leather? Thanks.

I cannot answer whether or not it contains silicon. It did not, however, darken my medium brown lamb skin jacket. As always, test the product on an inconspicuous area first (under a collar, under the arm).

Hi, Ron. I don't know if it contains silicone - my bottle is at my house in Northern California - I'll be going there Thursday and can answer you then. I used it on an antique sleigh bell leather strap. It didn't really darken the leather, but it did enrich it and give it a warm glow. If you send me your e-mail address, I can send you a photo of the before and after; that might help you. My e-mail address is Kats@QuiltKats.com.

Hey Ron,Leather Milk does not contain any silicone. All our recipes are composed entirely of natural ingredients. Some types of leather may respond to treatments differently than others, so it's always wise to test any conditioner you plan to use in a discreet area first. That said, Leather Care Liniment was designed to be on the gentler side, designed with a water base that allows the recipe great versatility and ease of use. In most cases, the formula does not affect the color or shine of leather either way - only enriching the natural color that is already there. Sort of like HD-ing your leather.

The product is clear but the manufacturer does recommend that you try it in a inconspicuous place as it may darken the leather. I used it on a dark brown leather lazy boy and it worked excellent. It did not change the color of my leather chair. Hope that helps

I don't think so. This product is more to nourish leather, not to remove blemishes. Sorry.

There is no mention of it on the label. Just what you see on the front about beeswax and natural preservatives. It smells like fresh leather. I suggest you address this question directly to the company

I dont think so as it might be chemically too harsh. I would also be worried about the finish it will leave on the leather - its a bit sticky almost tacky and doesn't buff off well. I think your better off finding a natural product, just make sure you test whatever you use so it doesnt darken the leather.

W., this absolutely, without a doubt DOES darken leather. Most any petroleum/wax leather application will darken lightly tanned leathers. However, I've had good success with Otter Wax not darkening very much.

Your leather item will look good after cleaning, however from my experience, following up with the conditioner gave the leather a more supple feel and enhanced the color. I was very pleased with the outcome.The Leather Honey products are excellent and they have great customer service should you require additional assistance.

It does not restore the color, as with anything, once the color is gone it's gone. However, it does darken faded spots as it is a moisturizer, but again fades over time as the leather dries out with age.

The liquid is clear to my knowledge. I used it on black and brown leather. The leather looked better with conditioner than brand new leather. I havent had it long enough to answer to its longevity.

It will temporarily darken some areas of the leather. I had some medium brown boots and it darkened some areas that were more worn. I actually liked the effect as it made the leather look richer and less ashy.

Yes, this is very likely to darken light colored leather. It doesn't have dye or anything, but it can darken it some.

It is clear but will darken leather, because it is oil and wax based. Good product.

Duane - there is no silicone in Leather Afterlife. As a general rule of thumb, most leather conditioners that have a white or milky color to them are the ones that do contain silicone.THANKS!The Leather Afterlife Team at Intervine

I typically have not used Bick4 on my boots (wolverine 1000 mile). I use Bick4 on leather furniture and it has not darkened the leather.

it will darken your boots a little, it probably takes the place of the oil since you need to heat the boots up so that it will absorb the wax, it did soften the leather and if you work in mud like I do, the mud does absorb the wax and it will need to be reapplied every month or two
