Udder Ointment Makes a Comeback

NORTH SALT LAKE, Utah - Imagine a product that helps heal minor medical conditions in both cows and humans.

In 1893, scientist and veterinarian Gilbert Hess teamed up with and businessman J.L. Clark to start selling a product they called “Udder Ointment.”

Clark’s great-granddaughter, Polly, says the ointment was almost an instant success.

"And then the farmers were noticing how quickly their hands were healing and staying healed from the winter elements and just the harshness of that industry,” said Polly.

Soon Udder Ointment was in everyone's medicine cabinet.

The company was bought and sold several times and eventually Udder Ointment was no longer manufactured.

After being off the market for a decade, Polly and her husband brought Udder Ointment back into the family.

Out of their North Salt Lake Home, they now take online orders, pack and ship the ointment along with their diaper rash formula called Baby Butts and their Udder Stick Lip Balm.

The current version of Udder Ointment uses the same ingredients that were used in the original.

Word is spreading that it's back. Orders are coming in from around the world, and sales are up 1100% over last year.
