Massage thoroughly and allow ointment to remain for full softening effect. Vermont's original. Since 1899, Bag Balm has been the farmer's friend helping keep dairy cows from becoming chapped from the harsh Vermont environment. It's like having another hand on the farm or a helper around the house. Bag Balm works hard all year round - and works well. There's nothing like the original, and that's what you get when you buy this familiar green can. Bag Balm contains lanolin and stays on to provide moisturizing and softening. This product contains no alcohol.

Comments about Bag Balm Bag Balm Ointment 10oz.:

I've kept a tin of this for years; it can last that long. The description is comical; it's made for cows udders, apparently (hence the "bag" balm) but I bought mine years ago for cuts and splinters on my hands to help heal, figuring if it works on outdoor animals it might do some good. It's lanolin and hydroxy quinolone.

Comments about Bag Balm Bag Balm Ointment 10oz.:

yes its sticky but thats what makes it work so well
a little goes a long way. Personal size little flat tins that you could carry in your purse would be more convenient and more sanitary than sticking your finger in the same huge can for 10 years.

Comments about Bag Balm Bag Balm Ointment 10oz.:

I bought this as a last resort to try for my dog that had taken to chewing his hind leg raw. The vet just kept giving him cortizone shots that did not help and I was not going to give him one more.
We had tried EVERYTHING - even the human behavioral drug Elevil.
My grandfather was a farmer and he tended his own animals with much better results than my modern vet. I remembered Bag Balm and bought some.
Within two days his leg was healing and he had stopped the chewing. It sooths and coats to allow the body to heal itself.
I tried it on my eczema and it worked wonders within two days as well.
I also use it to moisturize everything from my under eyes to my feet. My dog and I share a big tin. We are both looking and feeling better now.

I have just started using this product. My friend's family was talking about it and said they have had scars that have just about completely gone away - even old scars. I am just trying it now, but even if it doesn't take away my scars, I am so thrilled with how soft it makes my skin!

Diaper rash miracle!!!

Comments about Bag Balm Bag Balm Ointment 10oz.:

A friend gave this to me at my baby shower to prevent and treat diaper rash. I was skeptical at first since there was a picture of a cow on it! Other diaper rash ointments would remain on my baby's skin and would be painful to wipe off. With Bag Balm there is no need to wipe it off because it absorbes into the skin! It is 100% lanolin which is wonderful for the skin. I also suggested my mom use it when she got a cast removed from her leg. She slathered it on and put a sock over it overnight. It quickly moisturized her leg and got rid of the flaky skin!!

One of the best secrets out there!! Give it a try! You will love it too!

Comments about Bag Balm Bag Balm Ointment 10oz.:

I have had excema/psoriosis on my hands and legs. Steriods, shots, and OTC remedies did not help at all. My husband, who is a contractor, uses Bag Balm all the time to get rid of split finger tips from working outside & from working with drywall, so I tried it. I rubbed it in real good on the areas affected twice a day. In a couple weeks, my severe condition (dryness, penetrating itch, bleeding & cracking)was gone and has not returned in any of the affected areas. We always keep a large can of it on hand - it works miracles!!!!

Comments about Bag Balm Bag Balm Ointment 10oz.:

I have wondered about whether it is completely safe to put on my baby's lips.....but here is my comment aside from that:

I have been using bag balm for years and it seems like a cure all to me! So when I got this terrible sun burn that I could get no relief from it became worth it to put bag balm on it even though there is petroleum jelly in it, I knew there was also medicine in there too. I tried a very small amount, and was surprised to find that it helped greatly! I do not recommend it, but it definitely worked. I thought that it would be the equivalent to putting butter on a burn, but I'm telling you, it worked. Perhaps the burn was gone and it was just the ache left. It worked.

I highly recommend Bag Balm to all parents with children in diapers. Nothing would heal my daughters diaper rash faster than Bag Balm, not even the DR prescribed medication. A little bit goes a long way so it outlasts any other diaper cream as well.

Comments about Bag Balm Bag Balm Ointment 10oz.:

I wash my hands very often and they had gotten so dry and itchy. My skin was actually cracked and bleeding. In spots, there was hardening of the skin. My mother recommended Bag Balm and I'll admit I was dubious at first - you really do have to work it into your skin, but oh my - this is far better than any other product I've tried, and believe me, I've tried quite a few.

I have a can at home, and a can at work and a travel sized one in my purse.

This product WORKS!

My mother had two strokes. She is in a wheelchair. She gets pressure sores. I tried everything. Nothing seemed to heal them. My husbands Aunt told me about it. I tried it on mom and within a few days the sores started to heal and shrink. This stuff is the best.
