Summary

Dry skin can result from low humidity environments and occupational exposures, leading to a loss of skin moisture and alterations in skin pH. These conditions leave the skin vulnerable to diseases caused by microbial infections and irritant or allergic chemicals. Proper skin hydration is essential in managing dry skin while minimizing the risk of microbial growth at higher moisture levels. Therefore, maintaining correct skin pH during glove use is crucial to reducing microbial growth.

Innovative Glove Solution

This innovative glove solution includes a skin-contacting inside coating of purified Aloe Vera, designed to hydrate, protect, and promote skin health during wear. The unique feature of this solution is its ability to enhance skin penetration of the Aloe coating, effectively delivering its benefits. This is achieved using specific molecular sizes of active natural ingredients in Aloe, obtained through a specialized pre-processing technique.

Functional Benefits

• Effective skin moisturizer

• Reduces skin irritation and inflammation

• Reduces skin redness and maintains overall appearance

• Maintains skin pH at an optimal level

Clinical Studies

1. Study on Occupational Dermatitis

Methodology:

An open, contralateral comparison study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of these innovative gloves in healing hand dermatitis associated with occupational exposures. Participants included factory assembly-line workers with bilateral dry, irritated skin caused by occupational exposure. The efficacy of the gloves was compared to the participants' contralateral hand over a period of up to 30 days. Dermatology experts conducted blind skin assessments, rating the conditions as mild to moderate (minimal scaling with minimal evidence of erythema).

2. Study on Skin Hydration and pH Regulation

Methodology:

A double-blind controlled comparison study was conducted to evaluate the effects of these gloves on skin hydration and pH regulation. Participants, who were factory assembly-line workers regularly using gloves in their routine work, wore the innovative gloves for up to 30 days. The study compared the efficacy of the innovative gloves to standard nitrile gloves.

Study Results

The charts above depict the healing of dry, irritated skin after using the innovative gloves. No improvement was observed for non-glove hands in the first study. The second study confirmed the gloves' ability to hydrate and regulate skin pH, preventing dry skin.

Conclusion

• These innovative gloves reduce moderate dry skin conditions within three days of continuous wear.

• They increase skin hydration by 2% compared to standard nitrile gloves.

• They reduce skin pH by 0.1 units compared to standard nitrile gloves.
