Joe grew up on a dairy farm where Bag Balm was a staple, but he hadn?t heard of using this product for chapped skin until 1990. A farmer?s wife wrote to tell us there was nothing better for dry, red, cracked hands.

Since then we?ve heard from many enthusiasts, some who maintain that this bovine beauty aid keeps their skin looking great.

Knitters and quilters claim that Bag Balm or a similar product, Udder Cream, is indispensable in keeping hands from snagging on yarn or thread, and speeding the healing of needle pricks.
