Is this balm better than a regular hand cream?

For very dry, cracked skin, yes. It is thicker and stays on longer than most lotions. For everyday use where you want fast absorption, a cream is easier.

Can I use it on my feet and elbows?

Yes. It is made for rough skin anywhere, including heels, elbows and knees. Many owners use it overnight with socks on their feet.

What does it smell like?

It has a light minty, slightly earthy wintergreen scent from wintergreen oil. It fades after a while and is not a heavy perfume.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The formula is plant-based, but wintergreen oil and beeswax can irritate some people. Test a small area first if your skin reacts easily.

A 2 oz tin of balm; this listing is a two-pack. The balm is oil-based, with olive oil and beeswax among the main ingredients.

Our take on the Badger For Hardworking Hands Balm Tin, 2 oz (2 Pack)

Badger For Hardworking Hands Balm is a thick, oil-based salve in a 2 oz tin, sold here as a two-pack. It was made for cracked, calloused skin on working hands and feet, and the wintergreen oil gives it a light minty, earthy scent. It suits people who want a simple, plant-based balm for very dry skin rather than a fast-absorbing lotion. Compared with drugstore hand creams, it is heavier and greasier, so it works best as an overnight or post-work treatment.
