Introduction

The integration of Aloe Vera into glove technology has led to the development of a new generation of gloves that promote skin hydration and health. This advanced technology preserves the therapeutic benefits of Aloe Vera, enhancing them to provide additional comfort and care for the skin.

Features of the Enhanced Aloe Technology

This technology involves an increased concentration of Aloe Vera, particularly focusing on Aloe polysaccharides and natural moisturizing factors (NMF) that are readily absorbed by the skin. The use of a patented method ensures that these ingredients are delivered effectively, resulting in improved skin health during glove use.

Benefits of the Enhanced Aloe Technology

• Improved Water Retention and Hydration - The outer skin layers (epidermis) experience enhanced water retention and hydration due to the use of three specific molecular sizes of Aloe Vera polysaccharides. This, combined with the concentrated low-molecular-weight natural moisturizing factors present in Aloe, provides long-lasting hydration.

• Resilient Hydration - Unlike traditional Aloe polysaccharides, which remain on the skin surface due to their larger molecular size, this technology reduces the molecular size to enable deeper skin penetration. This results in hydration that withstands frequent hand washing.

• Enhanced Skin Soothing - The increased concentration of Aloe in this technology also helps reduce skin inflammation and irritation, providing a soothing effect.

Clinical Evidence of Effectiveness

In a single-center, randomized, double-blind study involving 30 participants, the hydration benefits of gloves infused with this enhanced Aloe technology were evaluated. The study spanned 36 days, comparing the effects of standard Aloe Vera gloves to those utilizing this new technology.

Participants wore the Aloe-infused glove on one hand while the other hand served as a control. Skin hydration levels and skin irritation (assessed based on erythema, edema, and dryness) were measured at the end of each test phase. The results indicated a statistically significant increase in skin hydration with the enhanced Aloe technology compared to baseline levels.

Key Findings

• Significant Hydration Increase - Hands exposed to the Enhanced Aloe-infused gloves exhibited a nearly twofold increase in skin hydration compared to those using standard Aloe Vera gloves.

• No Skin Irritation - Both the Enhanced Aloe-infused and standard Aloe Vera gloves did not cause any skin irritations during the study.

• Higher Improvement Rate - 72% of participants showed an improvement in skin hydration with the Enhanced Aloe-infused and standard Aloe Vera gloves.

Summary

This enhanced technology addresses the limitations of traditional high-molecular-weight Aloe Vera polysaccharides by focusing on increasing low-molecular-weight polysaccharides and NMF in Aloe. This allows for better skin penetration of the active ingredients, leading to effective skin hydration without causing skin irritations. The technology has been shown to increase skin hydration by 35%, maintaining skin health even with frequent glove use.
