Ultra Moisturizing For Severe Dry, Cracked Skin Perfect for Hands, Feet, Elbows & Knees Heals Calloused & Rough Skin F.A.Q Is it safe to use on my face? Yes, Bag Balm was originally created in 1899 for use on dairy farms during the harsh winters in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, and has been used in households ever since. How do I use it? A small amount goes a long way! Start with a pea-sized amount and massage into dry skin. Some people use more overnight, and less on their lips. A very common use is to apply Bag Balm to dry, cracked feet and wear socks overnight. What’s it made of? Bag Balm is made from just four simple ingredients, uniquely combined to provide its intensely moisturizing results: Petrolatum Lanolin 8-Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Paraffin wax I just bought a new tin of Bag Balm, and the product inside looks different from the product in my previous tin - did they change the formula? No, it's the same great product you've come to rely on! As the ingredients in Bag Balm age, the product can darken to a slight caramel/brown color. This is a natural occurrence and is not cause for alarm. It is still safe to use and remains effective. It's best to store Bag Balm in a cool, dry place. Is it safe to use it on my dog? We’ve heard from hundreds of people who have used Bag Balm to combat calluses, dry/cracked paws and rawness that can be caused by winter (and/or a harsh summer). People have even used it on dry noses and hot spots with good results. It’s best if your pet doesn’t ingest large amounts of Bag Balm. Why is there a cow on the lid? Bag Balm is the original “udder balm.” It was created back in 1899 to help moisturize and soothe cows’ udders that would become chapped in Vermont’s harsh, Northeast Kingdom winters. About Bag Balm History For over a century, Bag Balm has been a fixture around farms. It all started in 1899, after John L. Norris bought the formula for Bag Balm from its original creator in the little town of Wells River, Vermont. The salve was created to soften cow udders, and it worked extremely well. The little green stood out from the rest Bag Balm's "packaging" (practically an unheard of marketing term in those days) would prove to stand the test of time with as much distinction as the product itself. Mr. Norris traveled from Lyndonville, Vermont to Boston to design the original can. Its distinctive, dominant green color accented by red lettering and red clover surrounding a cow's head on the top of the lid has remained virtually unchanged for over 100 years. From a Vermont village to all reaches of the world… Word spread quickly about how well Bag Balm worked, and soon the little green can was turning up in farms across the country. Unfortunately, Mr. Norris became ill in 1934 and summoned his son John to take over the operation of the company. Just 20 years old at the time, John had considerable musical talent and was training under the world renowned flautist George Barrere—making arduous weekly trips to New York City for his instruction. Although music remained a great love for John his entire life, his focus became the rapid growth of Dairy Association's flagship product, Bag Balm. Made in Vermont since 1899 Lyndonville, Vermont is in the heart of Vermont's picturesque Northeast Kingdom region. We started here in 1899, and we're staying here. With scenery this beautiful, why on earth would we go anywhere else?
