ABSTRACT:
The objective of the present study was to investigate the formulation and potential benefits of a fully herbal-based moisturizing glove, designed as a more sustainable and gentler alternative to conventional synthetic moisturizers. This approach aims to address xerosis by delivering targeted hydration through natural ingredients, thus promoting skin health while reducing environmental impact. The study assesses the efficacy, skin compatibility, and long-term benefits of the product, proposing it as a viable option for individuals seeking an alternative, holistic approach to skincare. The herbal moisturizing glove is formulated with a cream containing coconut oil, almond oil, and olive oil, applied to cotton gloves. The product was evaluated using various parameters, including appearance, comfort and fit, moisturizer retention, and ease of removal. The results demonstrate that the herbal moisturizing gloves provide effective moisturization, exhibit a high level of comfort and durability, and maintain structural integrity throughout use, ensuring reusability. Additionally, the gloves were found to be safe, with no adverse effects on skin health, providing a pleasant user experience without irritation or degradation of the product over time. These findings suggest that the herbal moisturizing glove is a promising alternative for individuals with xerosis, offering both immediate and long-term skin benefits.
