Product tin includes application sponge. The product is very creamy, a little will go a long way, so use sparingly. It has a pleasant aroma and the sponge helps to distribute it smoothly and evenly. Only use on smooth leathers, not suede or fabric. Will protect and soften leather goods - shoes, gloves, briefcases, purses, jackets, etc. My friend uses it on saddles, and tack, and she recommended it to me. My son has used in for years on boots & shoes also.
