SW SkinGuard

SW SkinGuard™

Your gloves protect your hands. What about the skin inside?

SW SkinGuard brings together SW's skin-health-focused technologies, product design considerations and validated attributes—putting greater focus on the environment your skin experiences inside the glove.

DESIGNED WITH YOUR SKIN IN MIND
Think inside the glove. Skin remains in close contact with the glove throughout wear.
Think Inside the Glove

Your skin experiences every hour inside your gloves.

What happens inside a glove can matter just as much as the protection it provides outside. SW SkinGuard puts greater focus on the environment between glove and skin— not only the barrier between your hands and the job.

Inside SW SkinGuard

Different needs. Different approaches.

SW SkinGuard isn't one coating, ingredient or technology. It brings together SW's skin-health-focused technologies, product design considerations and validated attributes under one platform.

SW SkinGuard features and attributes vary by product. Individual products may incorporate one or more SW SkinGuard elements depending on their design and intended use.
01 Moisture Management

Less moisture.
More comfort.

DriTek® / DryCore®

Moisture can build inside gloves during extended wear. SW moisture-management technologies help manage moisture inside the glove for a drier, more comfortable wearing experience.

The Benefit Help keep hands drier and more comfortable throughout wear.
02 Hydration

Give dry hands something back.

EnerGel®

EnerGel helps hydrate and soothe skin while the glove is being worn—bringing skin conditioning directly into the glove-wearing experience.

The Benefit Support hydrated, more comfortable-feeling skin during glove wear.
03 Skin Balance

Help skin stay in its natural balance.

pH Natural®

Skin has its own natural pH environment. pH Natural is designed to help maintain that balance while the glove is worn.

The Benefit Support the skin's natural pH environment during extended glove use.
Skin Health Goes Beyond Technology

Sometimes the benefit isn't something added. It's what's considered from the beginning.

Gloves remain in direct contact with the skin throughout wear. That's why SW SkinGuard also encompasses skin-conscious product design considerations—not just individual technologies.

The goal is a glove experience designed with the skin wearing it in mind, alongside the protection required for the task.

Because what touches your skin matters.
SKIN-CONSCIOUS PRODUCT DESIGN
Validated Skin-Health Attribute

Low Dermatitis Potential

What does that mean for the wearer?

For glove wearers concerned about irritation, applicable SW gloves carry an FDA-cleared Low Dermatitis Potential claim.

Low Dermatitis Potential isn't a coating or skin-conditioning technology. It is a validated skin-health attribute available on applicable products within the broader SW SkinGuard platform.

Why It Matters It provides an additional skin-health consideration for wearers looking for gloves designed with irritation potential in mind.
One Skin-Health Platform

SW SkinGuard isn't one feature. It's a broader approach to skin health.

SW SkinGuard brings together SW's skin-health-focused technologies, product design considerations and validated attributes under one platform—helping address different wearer needs across our glove portfolio.
