Introduction
Going through chemotherapy is tough enough without the added discomfort of dry, scratchy, or itchy skin. Many people find their skin becomes more sensitive during treatment — sometimes reacting to fragrances, dyes, or even products they used comfortably before. That’s where Unscented Original Udder Balm® can step in as a gentle, reliable option for soothing skin that needs extra care.
Why Moisturizing Matters During Chemo
Chemo treatments often reduce the skin’s natural oils, leaving it dry and easily irritated. Keeping skin hydrated not only eases discomfort, but also helps it feel calmer and less itchy day to day. The right moisturizer can make a noticeable difference in comfort.
Why Unscented Original Udder Balm?
-
Fragrance- and dye-free: Unscented OUB was created in 2011 specifically for people who prefer products without added scent or color. This makes it ideal when skin is extra sensitive.
-
Rich, simple formula: A blend of mineral oil, lanolin, glycerin, aloe vera, and added vitamins A, D, and E to help nourish and soften.
-
Absorbs quickly: It massages in smoothly and doesn’t leave a greasy film, so skin feels comfortable within minutes.
-
Trusted since the 1970s: The lemon-scented Original has been around for decades; the Unscented was added later to meet the needs of people sensitive to dyes or fragrances.
Practical Ways to Use It
-
Hands & feet: These areas often get the driest and most uncomfortable. Keep a small tube handy to reapply throughout the day.
-
Scalp or bald spots: Gently massaging a thin layer can help ease tightness or itchiness.
-
Bedside or on-the-go: 16 oz jars with pumps are perfect at home, while 3 oz travel tubes slip easily into a bag for clinic visits.
-
Larger refills: The 64 oz refill tub is handy if you’re going through a lot, or for caregivers helping someone daily.
A Gentle Option, Not a Treatment
Original Udder Balm isn’t a medicine, and it isn’t meant to treat side effects of chemotherapy. What it can do is provide soothing relief and moisture in a gentle, uncomplicated way. Many people going through chemo have found comfort in using Unscented OUB as part of their daily routine.
Conclusion
When skin is already going through so much, choosing a product that’s simple, safe, and trusted can be a small but meaningful source of relief. Whether you choose the classic lemon-scented Original or the Unscented version designed for sensitive skin, Original Udder Balm® is here to help you care for your skin with kindness.
