How long does it last on surface after application?

We used it months ago and it is still working

are minks killed for this product?

Thank you for the question. I am ashamed of myself that I did not know this I will never buy I again Obtaining Oil of Mink Before it can be used in commercial products, mink oil must be harvested from the animal. Minks are often raised in captivity for the purpose of oil production, and when they are mature, they are killed and dissected for use in different products. Their coats are typically harvested to be used for coats and other fashion accessories, while their hides can be used to product oil of mink. There is a layer of fat underneath the hide that can be scraped and collected and then refined with high-temperature processing. This process of refinement typically takes place at around 230 to 240 degrees Fahrenheit. It is then saponified to minimize the free fatty acids contained in the solution. Once this process is complete, the oil of mink can be bottled, sold, and used for a range of different applications. Oil of Mink Controversy There have been many controversies linked to the use of mink oil. Most of these stem from the oil’s animal origin. It’s true that animal rights’ activists have been effective in pressuring many companies to discontinue use of mink oil in cosmetic and personal care products. This makes it a risky choice, and many companies would rather avoid the risk of backlash. This controversy eventually escalated to the banishment of mink farming in many countries and states in the U.S. California became the first state to take action in 2019, when it banned the manufacture of fur clothing within state limits. This ban effectively outlawed the manufacture of mink oil, too. Several countries have acted similarly, with Israel becoming the first country in the world to ban all sales of real fur in 2021. The United Kingdom arguably led efforts to illegalize fur, though, with legislation dating back to 2000 prohibiting fur farming. All efforts to outlaw fur essentially outlaw mink oil, too, since mink oil is a byproduct of the fur harvesting process. If these laws continue to expand internationally, oil of mink may become increasingly rare. Oil of Mink Alternatives Luckily, there are alternatives to mink oil that may have a similar effect. There are some vegan companies that offer conditioner products that may act as a mink oil substitute. If you are not opposed to using an animal product but would prefer not to use mink oil, you may try neatsfoot oil, which is harvested from the bones and feet of cattle. If you’re looking for a moisturizing agent for cosmetic use that can be used instead of mink oil, try coconut oil or jojoba oil instead.

Does it darken the leather?

It did darken the leather to walnut shade of brown on my Made In USA Thorogood American Heritage Moc Toe Work boots that were originally a “ Tobacco “ shade of leather. Which was light brown/tan with reddish hues.
