SEBUM-ABSORBING POWDER

Remove sebum, grease stains and halos without damaging the leather

Sebum Absorbing Powder is a professional blend based on natural Sommières clay, specially formulated by SOFOLK to extract sebum, body grease and oils embedded in smooth leathers (genuine leather). Its synergy of selected mineral powders acts by capillarity and progressive adsorption, without attacking or discoloring the leather.
In the presence of sebum, it is an essential step before any renovation, ensuring a perfectly clean and receptive surface.

100% natural product – solvent-free – non-discoloring – compatible with leather and imitation leather.
