  • We flag Skin sensitization or allergic contact dermatitis, Fragrance allergens or undisclosed fragrance components, Oil oxidation or rancidity if stored improperly and Buildup or residue on leather if overused on the and not on the Chamberlain's.
  • The Chamberlain's is Leather cleaner liquid, formulation not disclosed where the is Lanolin-based leather conditioning oil, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
