Check with the manufacturer of your holster for there recommendations. Here is a link to K&D Holsters care instructions

Can't go wrong with Kiwi Neutral shoe polish and a good buff.

I use neatsfoot oil on my boots, belts, pocket holster, any leather that is not sealed it will soften and condition. Stay away from the neatsfoot oil compound-that is mostly fish oil.

All those are good; I found it was easier to apply if the leather is slightly warm (NOT HOT !!!) just comfortable to the touch.
Better several light coats a few daysapart than one heavy coat.

IMO - not good for holsters due to over conditioning and breakdown of already well conditioned leather.

Sparks recommends Renaissance Wax. I bought a can years ago, and it is magic. A very small amount goes a long way. I totally disagree with the use of Neatsfoot oil. Anything that softens leather should NOT be used on a fine holster!
