When I coached in Saskatchewan, a rural area, the kids used something called Udder Balm on their hands to speed the healing of rips. “It’s a very good emollient”, I was told.
From the Chicago Style competition:
It all started out, about 100 years ago, with a product they called UDDER BALM or UDDER CREAM. It was made for Dairy Farmers, to soften and protect their cow’s udders, which became painfully cracked and dry from extreme weather conditions and milking.
Soon after Farmers began using UDDER BALM, they noticed that it not only held the answer to Soft, Smooth Skin for their Cows, but also was softening, protecting and giving relief to their own skin as well. …
Until now, only a limited number of people, through word-of-mouth alone, have actually heard of and/or used UDDER BALM. Those who know and use it swear by it and still probably purchase it through their local veterinarian.
In 2004, Sales R Us. Inc., after hearing about the miraculous results of Udder Balm on animals and farm owners, decided it was time to develop a Premium Blend Udder Balm that would be especially made for PEOPLE!
The result is an exciting new product called ULTRA-BALM.
