What is the difference between the Original and the hand and. body?

The original has a thicker consistency and from my experience works better for dry skin, eczema in my case. It is a little harder to wash off though, similar to petroleum jelly. The hand and body still works but is not as effective. It has a consistency that's more like whipped butter, almost like it has air bubbles in it.

My original bag balm has antiseptic labeled on the lid. Is this the same stuff?

Antiseptic is 8-Hydroxy Quinoline Sulfate 0.3%. Should be listed on the side of the can with the other ingredients.

Can you use this for lipgloss

I did not know the answer and so I goggled it and this is the response: (btw I use it only on my feet to keep the rough parts of my heels smoother!) Is Bag Balm safe to use on lips? According to dermatologists at Prevention Magazine, Bag Balm works wonders for lips. “For severely chapped lips, Dr. Waldorf recommends Bag Balm because it contains occlusive ingredients like petrolatum and lanolin with an antiseptic preservative. It “seals lips well overnight,” she says. Sep 25, 2019

Does the tin say 1899 on the side of the cover?

This tin in particular does not. The 4oz tin of Bag Balm does say "Since 1899", however.
