Wonder what would happen if you put hand cream on the glass and just let it sit. I think it too would evaporate however when you put it on skin (which has pores) it is absorbed. And leather is just that skin so I would think that it does in fact absorb into the leather as long as it is worked in. Now if you just lightly spread it on top and left it like that I would think that much of it would evaporate.
Really good experiment though and I think it shows the need to really work conditioner into the leather to get it to absorb it into the pores so it doesn't just evaporate and thus be just a waste of time and money.
