Shaving Cream was used to clean leather- it contains mild soap and a surfactant (something that encapsulates dirt, allowing it to be rinsed away with re-introduction to the surface)

What this lady may have seen -The foam created by an aerosol or pump type dispenser has the consistency of shaving cream, making it ideal for leather (especially sensitive finishes such as Aniline, Alcantara®, etc). Do not allow to dry as it can leave spotting. For heavily soiled areas, or where the leather has become ingrained such as in creases in the leather, a soft brush can be used to agitate and loosen the dirt.
