I don't like the smell of Blackrocks but it goes away after a while. Just put it on lightly and wipe away any excess right away, as someone mentioned before. I think Blackrocks is manufactured at Hogwarts because it is MAGIC!
Although not everyone likes it, I also use Leather Therapy Restorer and Conditioner. It works well on older, very dry bags. Sometimes I alternate layers of it with Leather CPR on especially beat up bags (before finishing with a layer or two of Blackrocks). I took me some time to get handy with its consistency since it looks and feels like a viscous oil. It's messier than the CPR, but it turned out to be very concentrated, and a 16 oz bottle I bought for $27 a few years ago still has about a 1/3 left.
I also really like Leather Therapy Restorer and Conditioner, it's great for very dry bags and for more delicate bags. I often apply it to bags while they are drying after a bath, to keep it from drying out too fast.
And since we're talking about leather products, I just realized I've been using Leather CPR for years, but know absolutely nothing about the ingredients. The makers obviously doesn't want to share the formula - other than posting vague info about "100% cosmetic ingredients", and Google search gave me nothing. Anyone had more luck?
Hey, guess what? Our rehab work is considered good for the environment!
I watched an old episode of "What Not to Wear" the other day called "Tara: Going Green" (Season 6, Episode 18; 2008) about a young mother from Las Vegas who runs a recycling center and is very passionate about protecting the environment, but she dressed like a slump in old sweats and other Ill-fitting items that she found in the recycling center and thrift stores.
The whole show was about eco-friendly fashion and that often means wearing "animal-free" products, but I also learned that repurposing vintage clothing is also considered good for the environment - even if the vintage items are not animal-free - because it gives them a new life and keeps them out of landfills.
They demonstrated that shopping for vintage clothes that fit well can be both economical and stylish. I was sorry that they didn't showcase any re-purposed bags but it was still an interesting episode.

I emailed them because my DS2 has eczema. They won't even reply.
They have their Safety Data Sheets linked on their website: https://cprcleaningproducts.com/pages/safety-data-sheets
Updat on the Manor flap. 48 hours and 2 coats of CPR later, and I think the flap seems fine. Light is bad so it looks black sorry
I emailed them several years ago. I told them the specific ingredients I needed to avoid. The response was that the formula was proprietary. I wear gloves when I apply it just in case but sometimes it gets on my skin anyway.
"Due to competitors trying to secure our formula, we do not disclose our
formula in any fashion, even to confirm whether in contains certain
ingredients. Although Leather CPR is made from cosmetic ingredients, and is
also Dermatologist tested, wearing gloves would probably be a good idea for
anyone that has a medical condition.
We wish you the very best regarding your health."
Thanks for posting the MDS link. I forget that most products make them readily available.
*Geek alert*
The take away is that Leather CPR is completely water soluable, according to the Data Sheets. So if it does contain silicone products, they are of the water soluable variety. Meaning that thorough washing of your hands , in theory, should remove any product from your hands. So I would be inclined to think if they do contain silicones that penetrate the surface of leather, they do not create an impenetrable barrier. And on dunking with a soap and/or detergent, residues might be removed.
I don't like buying things I can't get/order in a regular store, but the H is my one exception because for me it works better and is such a savings even over vinegar. It was such a happy surprise that it took years and years to go through 2 bottles.
Now you've given me more ideas for it! I just love it for wiping down all the sinks and counters, mirrors & windows.
