The Glowbag formula is deliberately water-based and wax-free. In contrast to wax-based leather care products, which apply a protective layer, Glowbag takes a different approach. Wax-based care products can seal rather than remove dirt from a bag. This layer of wax also affects the original appearance of the bag, as it can leave light-coloured residues in the pores of the leather and on the seams. The wax layer makes the leather feel firmer and heavier, and the slightly sticky texture attracts dust and dirt. In contrast, Glowbag's water-based formula allows for easy and even application, aids stain removal and does not interfere with the natural breathing of the leather. In this way, the bag remains protected, retains its original lustre and remains supple.
