This product has been mentioned here before. Bag Balm is probably similar to
Udderly Smooth (mentioned by Guy), and other products that were originally
intended for cows, but also found to be efficacious for humans (including
lutenists).
And you can be assured it's authentic, coming, as it does, from Vermont.<g>

Actually, iirc, the product was originally concocted by the Amish. If your
hands are really dry, you can buy it in 4 1/2 lb pails here:

I like Udderly Smooth, which doesn't leave a residue. It's popular among
knitters, which is how I found out about it (my wife is a dedicated
knitter/spinner).

What is a good hand moisturizer for lute playing?
Lubriderm moisturizes well. But it leaves my fingers
catchy, even to the point of squeaking slightly on
the strings.
