Just genuinely curious, but I do wonder what "inner leg discoloration" refers to and why anyone would be concerned about it.
I don't think that either the anhydrous lanolin I used to use, or the Dow High Vacuum Grease I now use, resulted in any discoloration. But I also don't think I would have cared if they did.
