"Gloves in a Bottle"
A little goes a long way and it is absolutely greasless!
I rub a dab in right before working with my fabric and have no problem. My local fabric store carries it along with several other brands. A little goes a long way, believe me.
It is hypoallergenic, fragrance and colorant free.
It provides a "shield" on your skin to help keep moisture in and unwanted stuff out.
When I do work in the garden I always use latex free rubber gloves and will often apply a coat of Bag Balm on before putting the rubber gloves on. Bag Balm, being greasy, moisturises my hands while I work in the soil and by the time I take the gloves off, there is no greasiness left. I find the rubber gloves much easier to work with than fabric garden gloves and my hands stay clean and dry - when I'm done I just pitch the rubber gloves. (Also use them for other dirty work around the house.)
They also come in handy when I need to move my quilts around while quilting...
