Wilmas Bear Cream - Traditional Leather Protection 100g Tin
Wilmas Bear Cream is a Traditional Leather Protection from Lapland and contains pine tar and bear grease.
Wilma’s natural products are made in the forest region of Swedish Lapland utilising the old knowledge and techniques that have been used for centuries by the forest people who have lived and worked there.
A woodsman working all day in the forest in meter deep snow had to have waterproof shoes. Before the days of synthetic and winter rubber boots, leather shoes had to be treated to keep them water tight.
Bear Cream is a leather protection grease made using the finest natural ingredients such as birch and pine tar oil, spruce resin and bear fat.
Wilmas "kängskosmorning” or Boot Grease penetrates deep into the leather, makes it soft, strong and very water repelling. It will make lighter coloured leather darker after repeated use, and brings a scent of the forest to your boots.
Can be used on footwear as well as leather luggage, rucksacks, bags and sheaths for knives and axes.
Wilmas Bear Cream Leather Grease is supplied in 100g tins.
