I can tell you the ingredients. Tell us if they're different from the bag balm from the farm store. I was under the impression it's the same stuff.
"CONTAINS: Allantoin, Dimethicone, Lanolin Oil and Propylene Glycol in an Emolient Base."
And for everyone else's benefit, here are the directions on the tube:
"DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Wash udder and teat parts thoroughly with clean water and soap before each milking to avoid contamination of milk. Use clean individual towels for this purpose. Apply to the udder after each milking, massaging into the skin. For teat cracks apply in sufficient quantity to fill crack and cover surrounding area. Apply uniformly to chafed area and bruises to maintain skin suppleness. For aid in softening swollen udders following calving, apply liberally twice daily with gentle massage. May be used for chapped or chafed skin. Do not use in or near eyes.
"WARNING: Do not use on parts affected with cow pox, as such use may contribute to the spread of the infection."
I figure if you have cow pox, you probably shouldn't be swimming, either.
