You see, I have a daily routine that includes dates with this fine bovine:
Except that it is now late December. And I live in Minnesota. That means that the temps these past few weeks have rarely been above zero, we have snow up to our knees, and we are constantly dealing with moisture on our skin in those temps to do chores and milk by hand. That means this stuff was put to the test.
I had used some of the Udderly Smooth a number of years ago at the recommendation of a doctor for a child's nasty diaper rash, but it had been almost 20 years and I really don't remember what the result was of that usage, just that the package was familiar.
To give an idea of the condition of my hands, I've been having to wear non-latex exam gloves to prevent further irritation of chapped hands. They are cracked and rough, and bumping and rubbing against a dirty udder are not a friendly feeling. A picture couldn't be taken to really show it, our lighting is too poor.
Now, the nitty gritty:
This product is made in the USA. That is pretty important to a lot of folks, so it deserves a good mention.
The product has been around for more than 30 years, also worthy of note to many.
It can be found in many big name retailers.
Prices will vary according to place of purchase.

I received the hand cream in both 2 and 4 ounce sizes, along with 6 of the sample packets. I also received a tub of body cream and a tub of foot cream, along with a great coupon.
Pros:
- Convenient options for package sizing. The 2oz. tube is perfect for a coat pocket or purse! The larger 4oz. works great for the counter/night stand/desk locations.
- The packaging makes EASY dispensing. As long as you don't have an overly eager child squeezing for all they can, the tube doesn't seem to allow large bursts of cream to come out at once.
- The ingredient list is almost identical to the udder balm I have from the farm store (as the company suggests in their promotions) with only slight variations in formulation and a few ingredients that are not identical. The entire ingredient list is easily found on their website!
Cons:
- For those who want all natural stuff on their skin, there are some ingredients that may be less than desired.
- There is also "fragrance", which can bother some. Several in my house commented when I'd used it because they noticed the fragrance without even seeing me use it (we are exceptionally sensitive to smells in our house, so this is NOT likely a problem for everyone!
Personal Experience:
I lean towards the more natural things for preferences and wasn't all that excited by the ingredient list. Not that there is anything I disagree with in particular, but I like "simple". Meaning the fewer ingredients, the better. If I don't know exactly what an ingredient is by reading the name, I wonder if I should be using it. I often use coconut oil and beeswax to make my own lotion bars. Having a soft, flowing hand cream was a bit of a variation that was nice to have. I used the entire 2 ounce tube in less than 10 days and found that while my hands didn't heal from being chapped (who can truly expect them to when the temperature is -20f and you have to get them wet regularly?!?!), it did help to maintain them. My hands did NOT get any worse, and the areas that are not damaged are soft and smooth as the company suggests. For those who want something to use "off the shelf", this is a great product. For those who are concerned about ingredients, it may be something they'd rather pass on, but I am not an expert, nor a chemist, and I know this worked for me. As with all products? It may not work for everyone the same, and your experience may be different, but if you need to work on your hands, I'd say give this stuff a try!
