    Cocoa butter is the nastiest.

    Parethed, yes! My father still uses it. I like aloe better, though. Grew up with aloe plants in the house, and they were our first line of defense for everything from minor cuts to sunburn - to moisturizer.

    ‘Cornhuskers’ works quite well, but I prefer ‘Bag Balm’. And the ‘Bag Balm’ company has acclimated very well to the changing times. They now sell little tiny two ounce mini tins of the stuff in some local drugstsores for about the same price that we could buy a dairy farm three pound bucket size from our supplier.

    Bag Balm is available at the local farm supply store at a reasonable price. I saw the tiny can at the drug store and nearly fainted at the price.

    Opal was being nice. Keeping your skin soft on you hands as you become elderly is a good thing. It hepls to prevent skin tears. Bag Balm is sold at facbic stores also. Especially for quilters.

    Heck, Vaseline works too, and it’s cheaper still.

    True, it doesn’t absorb. But a thin layer keeps skin flexible and acts as a moisture barrier – oddly, exposure to water dries skin out. (It’s a little light to use as car grease, isn’t it?)

    A certain brand of bag balm by the name of “Corona” is the best remedy for diaper rash! My firstborn would get ear infections, be prescribed antibiotics, which gave him diarrhea & diaper rash. By the next diaper change after using Corona, the rash was either gone, or at least well on its way. When my mother became bedfast and would get a bedsore, I bought some Corona for her. My sister (her primary caregiver) said it worked wonders on Mom’s skin, and the hospice people were amazed at the lack of bedsores.

    In you are ever in an airport, just don’t offer it to anybody by saying rather loudly, “Here, I have some Bag Balm.” Someone just might think, “…bag bomb!”

    I LOVE Bag Balm. Also, SCAATY, Bag Balm is petroleum based, like Vaseline, but is typically used by farmers to lubricate and heal a chapped or injured cow udder. Hence the picture of the cow on the green tin. The fact that it’s designed for cow udders makes it work exceptionally well for human skin, which is much lighter and absorbs things more easily. So, essentially, what would be like ointment to a cow, is the ultimate epic miracle healing… stuff, for humans.
