Many of todays more popular interior leather conditioners have aloe in them- which you would think is a good thing. But, I read some place on here that its hype. Couldnt find the thread when I searched "Aloe". Anyway, I am looking to condition some leather seats and most of the products out there have aloe in them. Why doesnt the stuff work on dead hide when it seems to work on the dead skin on your hands? Im not doubting it doesnt work, just cant remember why not. Seems like it would be beneficial?

 

anybody?

 

im not a big megs aloe cleaner conditioner fan. Leatherique or leather masters for me. CPR and lexol are OK.

 

You are correct. Aloe (Aloe Vera) is an pain killer. It's uses originally were for burns (heat and sun). It's use in creams would still have some benefits but only to stop the pain of a burn or rash. I see no practical use on leathers as, I'm thinking, the cow is already dead and not feeling any pain.

 

I dunno. bodys twitch after theyve been dead, who knows, kinda like the chicken running around with its head when its cut off, they still might feel pain. JK, ahh, drunk pool posts, life sucks

 

Im not a doctor, so I could be way off base but who said it was a pain killer?

Its medicinal purpose is supposedly to heal wounds and burns not be a pain killer. Granted the hide is already dead and all. But there must be something more in order to be so heavily marketed in leather conditioners and skin conditioners

 

It definitely takes the "sting" out of a bad sunburn, so in that sense, it's definitely a pain reliever.....
