The water-based formula penetrates fibers to blend worn areas into surrounding leather. It dries quickly, resists sticking, and helps protect leather from premature cracking and peeling when applied correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the balm restore color and cover scratches?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recoloring balm deposits pigment into the leather pores, evening out faded zones and visibly reducing the look of light scratches.
