What Manna Pro Lexol 1008 8 oz Conditioner is made of, ingredients and materials
Lexol 1008 is formulated primarily from aliphatic hydrocarbon oils and waxes, which are mineral-derived conditioning agents designed to penetrate and protect leather fibers without buildup. These are among the least toxic conditioning bases available and do not contain aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated compounds. The product is designed to restore suppleness and water resistance to leather goods without hardening or cracking the material over time.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Skin sensitization from aliphatic hydrocarbons
Aliphatic oils are generally low-toxicity, but prolonged skin contact during application could theoretically cause mild irritation in sensitive individuals. No specific reactions to Lexol 1008 are documented.
Aspiration hazard if ingested
Like all hydrocarbon-based products, accidental ingestion poses a low but real aspiration risk, particularly for children. Keep product stored out of reach and away from food storage areas.
Product buildup or residue accumulation
Over-application of any oil-based conditioner can leave sticky residue and attract dirt; user reviews occasionally mention this issue with Lexol if not buffed thoroughly. Proper application technique mitigates this.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Off-gassing or inhalation risk
Aliphatic hydrocarbons are considered low-volatility; no volatile organic compound (VOC) or fume-related complaints or recalls are on record for Lexol conditioners.
Heavy metals
No testing data or regulatory findings indicate lead, cadmium, or other heavy metals in Lexol formulations. Mineral oil sourcing practices for this brand have not raised public health flags.

The brand's record and disclosure
Lexol is an established leather care brand with decades of market presence and no documented product recalls or safety controversies. The brand does not publicly disclose detailed ingredient lists or third-party safety certifications, which is typical for this product category. No evidence of environmental or health concerns specific to Lexol formulations has entered public records or regulatory databases.
How it compares in its category
Lexol sits in the mid-range of leather conditioners, less likely to contain silicones or dimethicone (which can trap dirt) than some budget brands, but also less transparent in ingredient disclosure than premium brands with full ingredient panels. Aliphatic hydrocarbon bases show lower concern for some hazards compared to aromatic-heavy or solvent-forward competitors. Most leather conditioners in this market segment share similar toxicity profiles.
If you buy it
Apply in thin, even coats to clean, dry leather and buff excess with a soft cloth to avoid residue buildup. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources; do not leave on skin for prolonged periods. Replace when the product no longer beads water on leather or after 2-3 years of regular use. Ensure good ventilation during application, though fume risk from this product class is minimal.
