No maker site was found. The EU distributor MS TRADE s.r.o. (jjlockerroom.eu) sells Jungle Juice Platinum Extreme Boxed 30 ml as a leather cleaner and names no ingredient. Testing by Australia’s TGA laboratory found isobutyl nitrite as the single major ingredient in Jungle Juice Black Label Extreme Formula and Jungle Juice Platinum, whose labels said only alkyl nitrite; that result is the contents line used here.
