Gardener's Glove Skin Protectant
The newest addition to our product line is GARDENER’S GLOVE SKIN PROTECTANT*. I was originally inspired by my goddaughter’s fiancé to begin formulating a skin barrier salve. He works at a local pub and his hands are in and out of dish water many times a day, resulting in uncomfortable, dry, and cracked hands. The winter weather makes the problem even worse. But dish water isn’t the only thing that causes excessively dry hands. Exposure to water, wind or dirt can take a toll on hands, but I’d never really found anything that stayed on long enough to to do any real good. So, I began to formulate a product that would have some degree of staying power. After many months of tweaking the formulation, I came up with a product that absorbed quickly, wasn’t too greasy, and wouldn’t completely wash away the very first time hands were washed. I also added just a touch of a unisex essential-oil blend so that it would appeal to men and women alike. I hope you’ll give it a try.
