A History Lesson
Bag Balm... okay I don't have the real history, but I do have an oral history. This product was developed for Cow milk bags. There is another product called Udder Cream, which was developed for the Cow's udders.

'nuff said? Okay... I was told about this product many years ago. At one time you could only purchase it in obscure places.... like fabric stores etc...

I was a brick layer. My hands and just about every other body part that was privy to lime... Dried out like crazy.

My buddy told me about these products (his wife told him)... I got some. Man.... total moisterizer. Better than Corn Huskers and that's pretty good!

So I get Bag balm.... great. I get a massage every now and then, I tell the massage lady to use the bag balm... incredible stuff! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

If you haven't tried it... do! It is the BEST.... BAR NONE.


Take it from a reformed bricklayer/cement finisher.... IT REALLY WORKS!!!

Surprisingly effective.
Bag Balm (aka cow salve) was originally developed for soothing sore, chapped udders (yes, on cows). However, it has successfully been used on human for years. It's great for minor scrapes and abrasions (I use it for cat scratches), acting as a soothing, antiseptic ointment. It's also superb for extremely chapped skin such as dry, cracked heels or fingers.

The pluses:

- It's cheap, and a tin of it will last for years.
- It works beautifully.
- It can be used on pets, livestock and humans!

The minuses:

- It contains lanolin, so avoid it if you're allergic to wool.
- It's greasy, and has a pungent medicinal smell (you're not going to want to wear it out as a moisturiser).

great all purpose goop for Psoriasis
This little green tin has been a miracle for my psoriasis. My hands used to crack and peel and be overall really painful, till I started using Bag Balm. Some people find the smell a bit strong, if so, just use it when you are getting ready in the morning since it goes away really fast. It works great on scratches, cracked and irritated skin (as long as you aren't allergic to lanolin) because it has a small amount of antiseptic along with the moisturizing base. I love this stuff!
