Does your skin feel its best after wearing gloves?
Constant hand washing and glove use, as well as skin conditions like dermatitis or eczema can leave your hands dry, cracked and irritated. Not only can this become uncomfortable, it can affect your daily worklife.

What happens when I wear a normal glove?
Upon wearing a normal glove, your hands will start to sweat from the poor evaporation and increased temperature caused by your skin’s direct contact with the glove.
This can lead to a build-up of sweat, making you susceptible to skin conditions such as contact and hydration dermatitis.
1. Direct Contact
Glove material in direct contact with skin
2. Contact Dermatitis
Direct contact between skin and glove film can potentially cause irritation and contact dermatitis
3. Hydration Dermatitis
Direct contact between glove film and skin results in sweat accumulation and elevated temperature due to poor evaporation which may lead to hydration dermatitis

Feel the difference with COATS
Thanks to its unique colloidal oatmeal coating, COATS gloves place a natural moisturising barrier between your skin and the glove. The colloidal oatmeal absorbs sweat to help prevent any potential irritation caused by contact and hydration dermatitis.
Moreover, this moisturising barrier helps your skin retain water, leading to better skin integrity.

5 ways COATS cares for your skin
Colloidal oatmeal has also been recognised for its therapeutic benefits to soothe and relieve dry, itchy, and irritated skin. In fact, the USFDA has recognised colloidal oatmeal as a skin protectant, largely in thanks to its active ingredients:
- Oat Beta Glucan which moisturises skin and aids in wound healing
- Oat Peptides containing collagen and elastin promoters for pH buffering
- Avenanthramides which provide anti-irritant and redness reduction
- Avenacins which have anti-inflammatory and immuno-regulatory properties
- Antioxidants including Flavonoids and Phenolics
See our FAQ page for more information on colloidal oatmeal.
