About this item

  • Since 1899, Bag Balm has been the farmer's friend, helping to keep dairy cows from becoming chapped from the harsh environment of Vermont's rugged Northeast Kingdom. It's like having another hand on the farm or helper around the house
  • Bag Balm works hard all year round, and works well! Lanolin-enriched Bag Balm is a protective ointment that helps keep skin moisturized and soft. Its simple, tried and true formula is easy to apply and is designed to remain on the affected area
  • For use on cows: Thoroughly wash treated teats and udder with separate towels before each milking. To avoid contamination after each milking, bathe the udder with hot water, strip milk out and dry skin. Apply Bag Balm and massage gently twice daily
  • For use on dogs: Apply Vermont's Original Bag Balm Ointment liberally to cracked paw pads, dry noses, and wherever dry skin occurs. Bag Balm's simple formula is easy to apply and is designed to remain on the affected area for a long-lasting effect

From the manufacturer

Rescue. Relief. Renewal.

Bag Balm may just be the most versatile skin care product available. Used by consumers to moisturize and soften a wide variety of skin conditions, Bag Balm’s four simple ingredients seem to solve every skin problem, from severe or chronic dry skin to skin that is calloused, cracked, split, chapped or chafed.

Tried and True Uses:

Dry Skin & Callouses

A small amount of Bag Balm applied to your lips, face, hands, cuticles, feet, elbows or knees works hard to moisturize and soften your severely dry skin.

Cuts & Scrapes

If you’re going to work a Vermont farm in winter, you can be sure you’ll end up with mashed fingers, scrapes aplenty, and gashes in spots where you didn’t expect. Families trust Bag Balm for their everyday cuts and scrapes too.

Chafed & Chapped Skin

We’ve heard from numerous marathon runners, cyclists, and athletes about why they love Bag Balm. Bag Balm is the original remedy for relief, rescue and renewal that helps moisturize and soothe compromised skin.

Cracks & Splits

Dry, cracked hands can stall your progress - Bag Balm is highly recommended by construction workers, nurses, and even CrossFit trainers for keeping hands in good condition.

Bag Balm Works Wonders

With its roots on dairy farms in Vermont’s rugged Northeast Kingdom, Bag Balm is extremely effective at softening dry skin that can crack, split or chafe. Its intensely moisturizing formula has stood the test of time.

~~Shame on me....~~
Shame on me for not remembering this product before last month. My Boxer has had a dry nose for months and other products were tried. It appeared to be getting better but not to the extent I liked. SO, being from Vermont and having lived here for most of my life (except for the 20 years in the USN), I thought about this one night.Ordered it and started putting it on upon receipt. There is not any noticeable scent, it is easy to apply and it moisturizes her nose.Have been putting it on 4 times a day and she waits for it...I also figured if it is good for a cow's nose, it has to be good for a dog's snout.Vermont farmers have called this an 'udderly' fantastic product for years. I am calling it 'nosely' fantastic...Most highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Moisturizer Has Helped to Eliminate my Dry Cracked Heels and Hands!
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2024
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I have been battling very dry skin for a few years now, especially on my hands and the heels of my feet. I started using Bag Balm after I saw a YouTube video from a farming family in Indiana talk about how they use this product to heal dry and chapped skin. Since I am a gardener, and often outside in the elements, I thought it might help me too. I had tried many other moisturizers, but this is the only one that really helped. I now use a little bit daily to keep the dryness and chaffing away!

5.0 out of 5 stars How To Keep Your Feet Looking Soft, Supple and Beautiful With Just 3 Ingredients
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
There is nothing like bag balm, but it MUST be authentic from Vermont. My podiatrist swears by this and Coconut Oil- the kind that you use for cooking- NOT the type that liquifies without heating on the stove or in the oven, to keep a womans heels and any calluses one may have. He told me that 99% of "foot creams or softeners," are mainly water, and they do very little, if at all, to keep the feet supple and soft. I had been using various foot creams to keep the bottom of my heels supple. Calluses, however, cannot ever be permanently removed.Calluses are a sign that the way a person walks is off, for one of many reasons. Hammer toe, putting too much pressure on the wrong part of the foot, usually the toes. I'm a CCRN, and I can take seeing ANYTHING. But older folks(what am I talking about,) I am 62 myself! The one thing especially in women is when I have older patients and their heels are all cracked and dried out, because of no care. I'm in Florida, and it drives me crazy to see a nice looking, put together lady, that puts herself together before leaving the house- clothes, nails, jewelry-like she cares how she looks, when she leaves the house. But then I look down to see VERY lovely matching sandals, which many people wear year round here. But then she turns, just so, and I can see her heels. And it ruins the entire look. Cracked, dry, many times dirty- it is a REAL put off. So, a few years ago, I asked him how to prevent that. His answer was using a heel shaving device- VERY CAREFULLY, as one can do MUCH damage with those if you aren't careful. And he also told me to alternate nights after a good soak in the tub then either put on Coconut Oil- ONLY the kind that needs to be heated on the stove or in the oven, to liquify. He said the kind that is liquid in the store won't do a thing. Then alternate nights by using Genuine Vermont Bag Balm. And whichever you use for the night, cover the feet with 100% cotton socks. He looked at my heels today and said they were soft, supple and looked like the heels of a 30 some year old woman. He said his wife has used this routine for over 40 years now, and he said she also has the feet of a 30 year old woman. This stuff is AWESOME!

Honestly, I wasn’t really expecting this stuff to do more than simply hydrate my dogs paw pads, but it’s exceeded my expectations tremendously. It’s like neosporin for dogs! (Not really, but kinda!). I have a two year old 120lb Rotty that has super sensitive skin. Hes got some allergies so he is always scratching or trying to bite his little tail because he’s so itchy. He also has some calluses on his “elbows” from always laying on hard surfaces (even though he has alllll the soft beds lying around the house). Anyways, I put this on his tail, his calluses and his paw pads and it’s like a miracle! Almost overnight his calluses and paw pads were softer and the constant scratching stopped! He’s actually content and doesn’t scratch every five seconds! His skin is not so pink anymore either! Definitely worth a try. It will also help with dried noses!! It’s a baseline texture Andrew kinda has a little smell, but nothing you can’t deal with. Also, a little goes a very long way, but slathering it on the first time seems to help. Do paw pads at night when they’re sleeping. That way there isn’t paw prints all over your floors during the day as it has time to absorb into the skin (learned that one the hard way ;).

On the recommendation of a family member, I purchased this Bag Balm for use in my home. I have used it several times on my dogs dry paws. It has really helped to soften them up and my dog doesn't seem to mind it at all. My dog no longer has rough patches on the pads of her paws since using this. My family has used this on dry skin, and so far, all who have used it likes it and feels it helped. It is a bit greasy, but we put it on just before bed and it seems fine. When using it on the dry skin of feet, we cover the area by sleeping in socks. The smell is just a little medicinal, but no one seems to mind. We have used it a few times on reddened skin around a hang nail and it seemed to help. I do think it is priced a little high, but still I would purchase this again. I purchased a second tin and sent it to the home of one of my family members. They like it as well. This is a product I think every home could benefit from in some way.

My poor horse has a huge split in his nose from the cold which is obviously incredibly painful. This has been used for only a few days twice a day and is already starting to make a difference. It is really difficult to keep any kind of product on a horses nose due to grazing / eating hay, at least this has a bit of staying power!
