You may want to do some research first before you buy/attempt anything.

The product to which you refer is now called Connolly's Hide Care. FDA had concerns with the word "food" in the name. I remember using this back in the '70s. Good stuff, reputedly recommended by Rolls Royce for the leather in their cars. A google search will probably turn up places to purchase it.
