Founded in 1899 in Lyndonville, Vermont, Bag Balm was originally formulated by a pharmacist to soothe the cracked udders of dairy cows during harsh New England winters. The brand's signature product—a simple, lanolin- and petrolatum-based salve housed in an iconic green tin—quickly became a staple for farmers before transitioning into a household remedy for dry, chapped skin.
