Avon "skin so soft" it has nutrietive oils for human skin that will, with the expirience I've had, soften tanned leathers and skins. I used it to soften ball bags I have made. It works well but you need to talc the hell out of it to get rid of the perfumy smell.
pressure tan the whole rabbit before skinning,
