Saphir Pate de Luxe is a high gloss waxing paste, formulated for glazing leather. It has a beeswax base and contains carnauba (vegetable wax from Brazilian palm leaves) and turpentine extract (from the distillation of pine resin). Very high quality product. Authorized Saphir reseller Saphir was founded in 1920 and is now France's foremost brand. It is also a world leader due to the quality and diversity of its leather care and renovation products and has successfully met the challenge of maintaining traditional manufacturing practices. Saphir's goal is to offer products manufactured from natural raw materials, selected for their efficacy: turpentine oil, beeswax, carnauba, lanoline and ozokerite wax, jojoba, mink, neatsfoot and sweet almond oil. With this policy, Saphir is the only brand in the world to refrain from incorporating any resin or silicon whatsoever in the manufacture of its polishes, and from marketing any product harmful to leather life.
