Applying milk oil for leather treatment helps raise the durability of such items.
Leather creams formulated with milk oil effectively change lost natural oils from the leather goods, raising their flexibility and texture.
Mink oil is one of the commercially vital animal-based oils derived from the skin of minks.
Chemically, this oil contains top amounts of palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid found in human adipose tissues.
Considering this, milk oil is very added to skincare products, formulated for dry skin treatments.
The milk oil usage for leather was first known to hunters, who applied it on leather shoes to make them flexible and waterproof.

What is milk oil?
There is a thick fatty acid deposition underneath the skin minks layer, which is the key source of milk oil production.
Commercially, mink oil is extracted at the time of slaughtering minks for their valuable pelts. Anyway, little-scale extraction is also done from live minks.
The special property of mink oil is attributed to the top percentage content of unsaturated fatty acids.
Actually, more than seventy percent of the full acid content is of unsaturated type.
Unlike other animal and vegetable oils that become rancid over a period of time, mink oil remains in its real state for a longer period.
Why use mink oil on leather items
Most leather producing firms use mink oil to make their products more supple.
To be more precise, your leather items are already tented with mink oil during production. For a reason, during the leather treatment process, much of the animal oils are lost.
Over time, after continuous usage of the leather goods, they become dry and generally develop cracks on the surface.
Repeated rubbing of the fibers quickens the deterioration process of the fibers.
