The product is greaseless and non-toxic, and has been field tested by
professional gardeners and nursery workers, where it protected hands while
it moisturized and helped prevent irritation. Also, because dirt, mulch,
fertilizer and other compounds did not penetrate the skin, clean up was
much easier, especially around nails and cuticles.
YardGlove™ Barrier Lotion has natural ingredients (no silicone or petrolatum) that
when combined, form a protective barrier on your skin that lasts for hours
or until you wash up with soap and water. YardGlove™ itself does not
penetrate the skin and is not absorbed by the body, but rather forms a
protective layer on the surface of your skin.
For best results apply YardGlove™ just before you go out to work in the
garden or around the yard. Many gardeners keep a bottle in their small
tool basket for convenience. You don't need much to cover your hands and
wrists, a dab the size of a dime will be fine. As a matter of fact, one bottle is
good for more than 100 applications and will probably last you all spring or
summer. YardGlove™ Barrier Lotion will stay on your skin for several
hours or until you wash it off with soap and water (water alone under
normal conditions will not take it off).
You will notice it isn't greasy when you apply it. It has a slight
cucumber fragrance and after a minute or so you may also notice what we
call a "talc" feel on your skin. This assures you that the protective barrier
is in place and is already protecting your hands against penetration of
harmful compounds. After about 5 minutes you will forget you have it on.
When you are done with your work you will be pleasantly surprised at how
easily your hands get clean with just normal washing with soap and water.
That is because dirt and other compounds do not penetrate your skin and
therefore wash off more easily. You will be the only one who knows you
were working in the soil because your hands won't give you away! You will also
notice that your hands don't feel dried out or rough. Over a period of
time the difference in how your hands look will be especially apparent because
you won't have those stains in your skin's cracks and crevices or under
your nails.
