Lexsol is Neats foot oil and some emollients. It is weaker that pure NF oil.
Pure NF oil will soften the contact glue binding the bellows together.

Yep, that's the main message, but there were a few alternatives
suggested. Ken probably has the right answer for you in lexsol
(lexol?) - what are the ingredients Ken?
BTW, I have never come across the stuff in the UK.
My personal favourite is Hide Food which contains lanolin. This is a
very "English" product used by the horse riding community for tack.
Cheers,
Clive
