Unlike conventional lotions and protective creams, Gloves In A Bottle bonds with the outer layer skin cells, becoming part of the outer layer of skin itself. This now-enhanced outer layer of skin prevents ground in dirt and helps protect from the damaging effects of chemicals, irritants, plant residues and toxins. Dries rapidly. Virtually undetectable. Does not wash off. Makes cleanup a snap. Comes off naturally with exfoliating skin cells. Helps protect against the elements that strip moisture out and cause dry, cracked and irritated skin while retaining natural moisture and oils to repair damaged skin from within. Gloves In A Bottle is not a replacement for required safety protection, but it is a second line of defense and a whole lot better than wearing nothing at all.
