Another cream that has been mentioned here in the past is "Bag Balm." I think it is lanolin based, and farmers (especially Amish) apply it to the udders of their cows. But it works good on our hands, too, and the Vermont Country Store sells it for human use.
I was reminded just earlier today, because the one-man pharmacy around the corner has some on his shelf. $8.00 for ten ounces. I think that you can get a gallon of the stuff from VCS for $8.00. Now there's also another Amish product. Hoff Quencher. It is said to do wonders for the fingernails. arthur. <>
