Bag Balm lanolin-rich skin ointment — 72 oz pail for cracked heels, dry hands, heavy-duty moisture

Bag Balm Vermont's Original is a concentrated, lanolin-rich ointment made to deeply moisturize and protect very dry, cracked skin for hands, heels, lips and more.

Made in Vermont since 1899, this time-honored balm combines a simple ingredient list with a thick, long-lasting texture to soothe and help restore moisture to damaged or rough skin. The 72‑ounce pail supplies a large household, workshop, or salon with a versatile product that works across many skin concerns without added fragrances, colors, alcohol, parabens, or phthalates.

How does Bag Balm relieve cracked hands and heels?

The formula pairs lanolin and petrolatum to create an occlusive barrier that locks in moisture and helps skin regain flexibility. Apply to clean, dry skin and allow the balm to remain on overnight or under socks/gloves for intensive repair.

• Lanolin softens and conditions tough, flaking skin.
• Petrolatum seals in hydration for extended protection.
• Dense texture supports healing environments for callused areas.

Is this product safe for sensitive skin and daily use?

Bag Balm’s original recipe uses only a handful of classic ingredients and intentionally omits fragrances, dyes, alcohol, parabens, and phthalates to reduce irritation risk. Patch-test if you have extreme sensitivity; otherwise it’s suitable for regular use to maintain supple skin.

• No added scent or color to minimize irritants.
• Simple, time-tested components reduce exposure to unnecessary additives.
• Appropriate for repeated application on rough or frequently washed skin.

What practical uses does the 72oz pail fit into around the home or workplace?

The large pail is ideal for communal settings—mechanic shops, salons, farmhouses, and kitchens—where frequent moisturizing is needed. Its size cuts down on reordering and provides a reliable source of heavy-duty protection for many family members or employees.

• Bulk supply for shared workstations or back‑bar in salons.
• Handy for carpenters, gardeners, and outdoor workers to restore skin after tasks.
• Useful bedside or bathroom container for nightly intensive treatments.

How quickly will I see results and how long do effects last?

Many users notice immediate smoothing and reduced roughness after application because the ointment forms a protective layer that traps moisture. Effects are durable—protection can persist through normal daily activity and even after hand washing, though reapplication may be needed for persistent or severe dryness.

• Immediate barrier effect reduces moisture loss on contact.
• Over time, repeated use helps restore skin texture and reduce flaking.
• Long-lasting feel means fewer reapplications than lighter lotions.

Who is this for: Bag Balm Vermont's Original 72oz pail is made for people and places that need enduring, no-frills skin protection—families with chronic dry skin, tradespeople who work outdoors or with their hands, salons and clinics that require a dependable intensive moisturizer, and anyone who prefers a classic, proven ointment without added fragrances or colors.
