    No, it’s a mineral oil, and it specifically says in the article not to use mineral oil.

  • Question
    I've just bought a pair of leather thong sandals. The leather thong between the big toe and the next one is very stiff. How can I soften it?
    Community Answer
    Take a scalpel blade and very carefully remove the tiny rough strip left on it by the manufacturing process. If it's still rough, gently rub it with the very finest grade sandpaper or emery cloth until it is completely smooth.
