SHA Approved SW Gloves: Protecting Hands and Skin Every Day

At SW Sustainability Solutions, hand protection isn’t just about durability or performance, it’s about health and safety from the inside out. That’s why our gloves carry the globally recognized Skin Health Alliance (SHA) certification, a mark that your skin’s wellbeing is a top priority.

What is SHA Certification?

The Skin Health Alliance is the world’s leading skin health accreditation body, independent not-for-profit organization that evaluates products for dermatological safety. Products earning SHA recognition meet highest scientific standards of skin safety, verified by an independent team of dermatologists and skin scientists with the industry.

Why SHA Certification Matters for SW Gloves

SW gloves don’t just protect hands—they support overall skin health. By earning Skin Health Alliance (SHA) certification, our gloves have passed a rigorous, independent evaluation, demonstrating safety, comfort, and dermatological credibility.

How SHA accreditation benefits SW glove users:

1. Validated skin safety through independent review¹
   SHA’s panel of dermatologists evaluates our glove formulations and submitted safety data. This ensures that SW gloves meet strict skin compatibility standards, giving users confidence that the materials contacting their hands are safe.
2. Minimized risk of irritation and allergic reactions¹
   SHA assesses ingredients and materials for their potential to irritate or sensitize skin. SW gloves are designed with these standards in mind, helping reduce the risk of rashes or discomfort during frequent or prolonged use.
3. Comfort for extended wear²
   The SHA review process considers not just safety but also how products perform with long-term skin contact. SW gloves meet these criteria, supporting comfort and ergonomics throughout extended shifts.
4. Trusted dermatological credibility²
   By earning SHA accreditation, SW gloves carry a symbol of independent dermatological approval. This gives users, safety managers, and procurement teams confidence that gloves are evaluated beyond mechanical safety standards, supporting skin health in high-risk environments like healthcare, food handling, and laboratories.
