Saphir Pommadier Cream Polish is a high-quality pigmented cream polish designed to nourish smooth leather while restoring and enhancing color. It penetrates the leather more deeply than wax polish, helping maintain flexibility and prevent dryness over time.
Unlike a finishing wax polish, Pommadier focuses on color renewal and conditioning, making it an essential part of regular shoe care rather than a finishing product. When used consistently, it helps extend the life of leather while keeping it rich and even in appearance.
This cream is ideal for maintaining shoes between deeper conditioning treatments.
Best used for
- Restoring color to smooth leather
- Regular nourishment and maintenance
- Preparing leather before wax polishing
How to use
Apply sparingly with an applicator brush, allow it to absorb, then brush thoroughly with the horsehair shine brush. Follow with wax polish if additional shine is desired.

Ingredients & their purpose
Ingredients & their purpose
Pommadier is for nourishing smooth leather and renewing its color, not just adding a glossy top layer. Shea butter oil helps keep the leather soft, while pigments refresh the shade without hiding its existing patina. Saphir describes Crème 1925 as containing softer waxes alongside nourishing shea butter: cream polish does contain wax, but its purpose differs from a finishing wax polish.
Beeswax, carnauba and montan contribute the protective, polished finish, while turpentine carries the wax blend during application.

I ordered Pommadier Cream polish but received the Saphir "Renovateur "instead. Unfortunately, I do not have the time or patience to go through the return process and reorder the correct product. This was a disappointing experience, and I will purchase from a different vendor in the future.
Hi Lucas,
I'm very sorry that you received the incorrect product. This was simply a packing mistake on my end, and I apologize for it.
I was disappointed to discover the issue through a one-star review rather than being given an opportunity to correct the mistake first, particularly given your many previous orders with us. Unfortunately, mistakes can occasionally happen, but I believe what matters is how a business responds when they do.
As soon as I saw your review, I reached out to you directly and offered to send the correct product at no charge, with no need to return the product you received by mistake.
I sincerely appreciate your many years of support and hope that my willingness to immediately correct the mistake demonstrates the level of service we aim to provide.
Best,
Justin
As advertised, high quality product
