Mink Oil

Angelus Brand mink oil combines natural oils and conditioning power to keep leather products looking their best. Angelus mink oil penetrates to condition leather, helping it stay soft while helping prevent stains.

Proudly made in the USA, our mink oil reflects over 100 years of family-owned expertise trusted by cobblers, sneakerheads, and leather professionals. 

From boots and belts to jackets and bags, this professional-grade formula helps extend the life of your items while maintaining flexibility and a smooth finish that feels natural on every surface.

Choosing the right mink oil depends on how you plan to care for your leather products. Different formats deliver unique advantages, making it easier to select the product that fits your needs. 

Whether you prefer fast application or a traditional hand-rubbed method, Angelus Brand offers several options alongside professional-grade leather conditioners.

• Mink Oil Aerosol: Perfect for quick and even conditioning. The spray delivers a light coat that penetrates without excess buildup, making it suitable for leather boots, shoes, and bags. It can also refresh faded suede when applied in light passes, but always test first. Use in well-ventilated areas. Aerosol products are unable to ship outside of the U.S.

• Mink Oil Liquid: Designed for smooth leather surfaces like shoes, belts, and bags. The liquid formula absorbs quickly, helping prevent stains while maintaining softness and flexibility. Apply with a clean cloth to keep items conditioned. This option is best for regular use when leather begins to feel dry or loses its natural oils.

• Mink Oil Paste: A thicker option for restoring worn or heavily used leather. Ideal for boots, bags, or gear exposed to dirt and water, the paste conditions heavily used leather and helps prevent stains to extend the life of your items.

For customers comparing alternatives, Angelus also offers leather balm for light restoration and leather conditioner lotion for everyday upkeep. Both options are suitable for those who want professional-grade conditioning without the deeper treatment of mink oil.

Overall, all the products mentioned offer unique benefits, enabling you to effectively protect, clean, and maintain leather surfaces while accommodating your preferred method of application.

Follow these steps to apply mink oil correctly, ensuring your leather boots, shoes, belts, and other leather products stay protected and conditioned.

Prep: Clean the Leather First

Always start with a clean surface. Use Easy Cleaner for leather or suede, or opt for Leather & Saddle Soap for a smooth leather finish. Both remove dirt, dust, and excess oils effectively. 

After cleaning, let the leather dry completely before moving forward. You can also browse more options in our Clean collection.

Pick the Right Format

Choose the mink oil type that matches your item. Mink Oil Aerosol provides fast, even conditioning and can refresh faded suede. For smooth leather boots, belts, or bags, apply Mink Oil Liquid or Mink Oil Paste by hand for a rich, natural finish. 

Each option has unique benefits, so select based on the condition and surface of your leather.

Apply

Thin coats always deliver the best results. For liquid or paste, place a small amount on a soft cloth or an All-Purpose Applicator Pad. 

Work in light circular motions, let soak for a few minutes, and wipe away excess with a clean cloth. For aerosols, spray quick, light passes for an even coat, and pat dry with a rag.

Protect

After conditioning, add extra defense with an aerosol Water & Stain Repellent or its pump spray version. These products protect against water, stains, and everyday wear and tear. 

Rest easy knowing that a protective coat helps extend the life of boots, belts, and other leather goods. Explore more in our repellent collection. 

Finish

For added shine or color depth, top with shoe wax polish to enhance gloss and cover scuffs, or Lustre Cream for a softer luster with color options. 

These finishing products add a nice touch to leather while maintaining its conditioning and extending the overall life of your items.
