Our take on the Vermont's Original Bag Balm, Skin Moisturizer for Dry Skin, 1 oz Stick

Bag Balm is a petrolatum, lanolin and paraffin salve that has been used on dry, chafed and cracked skin since 1899. This 1 oz twist-up stick carries the same base formula plus vitamin E, in a format meant for mess-free application away from home. It is safe on people and animals, which is why it turns up in dog hot-spot and paw care. Against tubs and tins of the same salve, the stick trades bulk for portability; against pet balms and human hand creams, it is a heavier, more occlusive product. Owners like the convenience and the results on cracked skin, but some find the stick small and the formula greasy or slow to absorb.

About the Vermont's Original Bag Balm, Skin Moisturizer for Dry Skin, 1 oz Stick

Bag Balm is a moisturizing balm for dry or distressed skin. It was created on a Vermont dairy farm and has been made since 1899. This 1 oz twist-up stick has the same hydrating ingredients as Original Bag Balm, plus Vitamin E.

The formula is built on a few ingredients. Petrolatum moisturizes and cushions, lanolin soothes and softens skin, and paraffin locks in moisture. The formula is non-greasy, and the stick format makes it easy to apply on the go.

To use, apply a small amount to the affected area and rub it into the skin thoroughly. It helps soothe dry or chafed skin, cracked hands, split heels, chapped lips, calluses, cuts and scrapes, sunburns, tattoos and cuticles. It is safe to use on both people and animals. If a pet licks the balm, put booties or socks on its paws afterward so the balm has time to absorb.

Questions and answers

Is the stick the same as Original Bag Balm?
It uses the same petrolatum, lanolin and paraffin base, with vitamin E added. The difference is the twist-up stick instead of a tub.
Can I use it on my dog?
Yes. It is labeled safe for people and animals and is commonly used on hot spots, paws and dry noses. If your dog licks it, booties or socks give it time to absorb.
Will it stain or feel greasy?
It is a heavy, occlusive salve, so it can feel waxy until absorbed. The stick keeps your hands cleaner than dipping into a tub.
What can I use it on?
Dry or chafed skin, cracked hands, split heels, chapped lips, calluses, minor cuts and scrapes, sunburn, tattoos and cuticles.
Is it good for hot spots?
It soothes and cushions dry, irritated skin, but it is not an antibacterial or antifungal treatment. A hot spot that is infected or spreading needs a vet.
