Hand Lotion
Glove Comfort locks in the skin’s natural moisture when the user is required to wear medical gloves for long periods, according to the manufacturer. The product is waterproof, so it will not wash off, but comes off naturally with exfoliated skin cells. Sold in 4oz bottles, Glove Comfort is also hypoallergenic and fragrance- and colorant-free.
