Bag Balm Original Hand & Heel Moisturizer 8oz Tin 3-Pack — Lanolin + Petrolatum, Fragrance-Free Protection

Bag Balm Vermont's Original is a concentrated lanolin and petrolatum ointment that soothes and protects very dry, cracked skin for hands, heels, lips and more.

Born in Vermont in 1899, Bag Balm is an old-fashioned, multipurpose ointment made from a short list of simple ingredients. This three-pack of 8 oz tins contains the same fragrance-free formula used for generations to lock in moisture, soften rough patches and create a protective barrier on delicate or damaged skin. Because it contains lanolin and petrolatum without added fragrances, colors, alcohol, parabens or phthalates, it’s designed for those seeking a straightforward, heavy-duty moisturizer.

How quickly will Bag Balm start helping cracked or rough skin?

You can expect immediate barrier and moisture benefits on contact: the petrolatum component seals in moisture while lanolin attracts and holds water in the skin. Visible softening often appears after the first application, and regular use helps maintain smoother skin between treatments.

• Fast-acting petrolatum barrier to reduce moisture loss
• Lanolin helps rehydrate and soften dry tissue
• Long-lasting effects that persist through everyday activity
• Works after handwashing when reapplied as needed

What types of skin problems is this ointment best for?

Bag Balm is formulated to tackle a wide range of dry-skin issues where heavy moisturizing and protection are needed. It’s effective on cracked hands, split heels, chapped lips, calluses, minor cuts and abrasions, and can be used to soothe sun-exposed skin or help care for new tattoos during healing.

• Cracked, chapped and weathered hands
• Dry heels, callused areas and rough elbows
• Chapped lips and minor skin scrapes
• Supportive aftercare for tattoos and sunburned skin

Is Bag Balm safe for daily and family use?

The balm is free from added fragrance, dyes, alcohol, parabens and phthalates, making it a low-irritant option for most people and households. Because it contains lanolin, those with lanolin sensitivity should patch-test or avoid use; otherwise it’s suitable for repeated application by adults and many children under supervision.

• Simple ingredient list reduces risk of added irritants
• Lanolin may cause reactions in sensitive individuals—patch test first
• Non-fragranced formula for shared family use
• Made in the USA using a long-standing recipe

How should I use Bag Balm for best results?

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and rub in gently until the ointment forms a protective coating. For very dry or cracked areas, apply before bed and cover with socks or gloves to boost absorption; reapply after washing hands or any activity that removes the ointment.

• Use on clean skin; apply more at night for deeper repair
• Covering treated areas increases effectiveness for overnight healing
• Keep tins sealed to preserve product integrity and cleanliness
• Reapply after washing or as needed to maintain protection

Who is this for: Bag Balm Vermont's Original hand moisturizer is aimed at people who need a heavy-duty, no-frills ointment—outdoor workers, gardeners, athletes, caregivers, parents, and anyone with stubborn dry or cracked skin. It also suits households looking for a versatile, family-friendly balm to treat rough patches, minor cuts and post-tattoo care, provided users do not have known lanolin allergies. The three 8 oz tins offer value for repeated use or to keep one tin in multiple locations like the kitchen, toolbox, and bedside table.
