Can You Use Baby Oil on a Leather Jacket?

The Answer

Yes, you can use baby oil on certain types of leather with caution. However, before using any product on your leather jacket, it is always important to test it in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it does not damage the leather.

Pros of Using Baby Oil

On the one hand, baby oil is great for conditioning leather. It will make it softer and help to prevent cracking. Baby oil is also relatively inexpensive and easy to find.

Cons of Using Baby Oil

While baby oil is a pretty much light lubricant, it is really great for softening leather and will in most cases over time darken the color of the leather. Also, baby oil can attract dirt and dust, so it is important to clean your leather jacket regularly if you use baby oil on it.
