DetailsViking Glove Guard – Leather Care Cream for Boxing Gloves
Care that makes your gloves perform at their best. Handmade in Switzerland – produced in small batches in St. Gallen. 100% natural ingredients. No artificial fragrances or preservatives.
Why special leather care for boxing gloves
Boxing gloves work hard: sweat, salt, friction, and frequent drying put stress on the leather. Our leather care cream keeps the upper leather supple, protects against drying out, and prevents salt stains – without over-greasing the padding. This helps maintain the shape, grip, and compact feel of your gloves. Ideal for horsehair models, where we deliberately apply the cream only to the outside and very sparingly.

Application step by step
1. Prepare the gloves by removing the salt film from the outside with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Do not soak the gloves. The inside should remain dry.
2. Use a minimal amount: A pea-sized portion per glove back. Work in a thin layer using a soft cloth and circular motions.
3. Allow to soak in for 20 to 30 minutes, then briefly polish with a dry cloth.
4. No use of balm on the interior. Do not apply balm to the lining or upholstery. Horsehair or foam could be affected.
5. Frequency: Every 4 to 8 weeks. After heavy use or rain, allow to dry completely before cleaning.
Care instructions for Boxers
• After each session, open gloves, stuff with newspaper or drying packs, and allow to air dry for 12 to 24 hours.
• Extra care is required for horsehair models: keep away from moisture so that the filling retains its shape.
• For combat gloves, keep them thinner and cleaner. The grip should remain compact; avoid over-greasing.
Do Nots
Neither olive nor coconut oil oxidizes, can become rancid and cause stains.
• Do not use petroleum jelly, as it can dissolve adhesives and clog pores.
Do not dry in direct sunlight or with a heater. Leather can crack.
Perform a patch test in an inconspicuous area. Different leather finishes react differently.
compatibility
• Upper leather: cowhide and goatskin
Use coated glossy leather sparingly and test beforehand.

Care instructions
Tips to extend the life of your soap
Place your soap in a bowl that will drain (not flat on the tile or in a non-draining bowl!) And make sure it doesn't get wet between uses. This is optional, but it will definitely help your soap last longerHow long do your soaps mature?
My soaps mature 4 to 6 weeks open on the shelf so that they can dry well. My pure olive oil soap needs to mature for at least 6 months or more.
What do you use titanium dioxide for?
I use titanium dioxide to lighten the soap, depending on the raw materials, the natural soap can be green, yellow or brown. In nature, titanium dioxide is widespread in the form of the minerals rutile and ilmenite (together with iron). Titanium dioxide is non-toxic and not harmful to water.
Which soap for extremely dry skin?
All of my natural soaps are suitable for dry skin. Milk soaps in particular are ideal for dry skin.
PH of soaps, don't they dry out the skin?
Definitely no. Natural soaps (please do not confuse them with industrial soaps) are always basic. The pH value is 8.5 - 10. This is absolutely harmless to our skin. Amniotic fluid. E.g. has a pH value of 8.5 and let's be honest, is there a more beautiful and softer skin than baby skin?
What is NaOH?
NaOH aka caustic soda or sodium hydroxide is an essential ingredient in soap production. Our lye is made from common table salt dissolved in water, and electrodes add electricity to the mixture, creating chloride, hydrogen and lye. This material has been used in natural soap production for centuries. When used correctly, it can help make safe natural products. However, according to European cosmetic laws, you will not find sodium hydroxide on our labels as it is not included in the end products.
Can children use natural soaps?
Yeah sure! Children in particular benefit from the mild cleaning and natural care
Custom and personalized orders
Yes, of course I can. Just contact me directly, then we can discuss it.
Do you also ship outside of Switzerland?
Yes, I also ship to other countries. Unfortunately, I can't offer this for free!
Customs duties and import fees may apply. Please check the legal requirements in your country.Where do your raw materials come from?
It is very different. Raw materials such as rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, hemp oil, goat and sheep milk, honey, herbs and plants come from Switzerland.
Well-known raw materials such as coconut oil, shea butter, babassu oil, olive oil, grape seed oil etc. are often very transparent and easily traceable (fair trade etc.) available from wholesalers in the respective country. I don't use palm oil.
I try to avoid other raw materials or to reduce their consumption. Often I have to rely on my feelings. Transparency is important to me so that I and my customers can decide yes or no.
