My hands hurt so much I made an impulse buy in the grocery store and purchased Bag Balm. I applied it as soon as I checked out and it was greasy, worse than Vaseline, and had a definitely oil smell. I am not sensitive in that way and I couldn't tolerate the odor. After a few weeks of using Bag Balm, there was no improvement. I wondered why and started to do some online searching. It was then I came across the Udder Balm comparison list to Bag Balm and the lightbulb went on. I immediately made an Udder Balm purchase and have been using it with great delight ever since its arrival. I use it on my hands, arms, legs, and even lips. The scent is fresh and pleasant but even more importantly the results are noticeable and sustained. Not only do my hands not hurt (it felt like I'd had 100s of tiny paper cuts) but they are no longer sandpaper rough. The healing has begun! I also liked the Udder Balm website, the fact that the company is American owned/produced, and the reasonable pricing for its products. Thank you for helping me!
