Is this balm better than a regular hand lotion?

For very dry, cracked or calloused hands, yes. It is a concentrated beeswax and olive oil salve that seals skin, while most lotions are lighter and absorb faster. For everyday mild dryness, a lotion is easier to use.

Does it absorb quickly?

No. It is thick and leaves a protective layer, so it takes several minutes to sink in. Many owners apply it at night or after work rather than before handling things.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Badger formulates it to be gentle, and it is USDA Certified Organic. The wintergreen oil is the main thing to watch; test a small patch first if you react to essential oils.

Can I use it on areas other than my hands?

Yes. Owners use it on elbows, heels, knees and other rough, chapped patches. It is a general skin salve, not a hand-only product.

One 0.75 oz tin of balm. The formula is built on beeswax and extra virgin olive oil with wintergreen oil for scent.

Our take on the Badger Balm for Hardworking Hands, Aloe Vera & Wintergreen, 0.75 oz Tin

Badger Balm for Hardworking Hands is an ultra-rich, concentrated salve in a 0.75 oz tin, built around beeswax, extra virgin olive oil and wintergreen oil. It is USDA Certified Organic and cruelty free, and the wintergreen gives it a fresh, minty scent that owners either love or find strong. It suits gardeners, tradespeople and anyone with cracked, calloused hands or rough patches on elbows, heels and knuckles. Against lighter lotions it trades easy spreading for staying power: a little goes a long way, but it sits on the skin and feels greasy until it sinks in.
