Here in Western Colorado where if humidity gets above 12%, I think it is muggy, I have for years used the Corn Husker's Oil. Then one day I blew a hydraulic hose on piece of equipment, made a heck of a mess, but my hands were really soft. Since then I have put a couple drops of hydraulic oil inside pair of new gloves to condition and don't have the issue with thumbs and cuticles cracking.
