GloveOn COATS® Nitrile Gloves
Protect and nurture your hands while you work
GloveOn COATS® (colloidal oatmeal system) is a patented and unique nitrile glove technology, which contains an FDA-recognised skin protectant. These utilise the powerful benefits of all-natural oats as a coating that forms a natural, moisturising barrier between the glove and skin. This acts as a preventative measure against skin irritation and hydration dermatitis. Therefore, users who suffer from dry and itchy skin can now use GloveOn COATS® to protect their hands while they work.
Key Features and Benefits
Colloidal Oatmeal Coating
The gloves are infused with colloidal oatmeal, a natural moisturiser known for its skin-soothing properties. Helps to prevent dryness and irritation, particularly important for nurses who frequently wear gloves during long shifts, reducing the risk of dermatitis and other skin conditions.
Enhanced Comfort and Skin Protection
Soft and gentle on the skin, providing a comfortable fit. Reduces the likelihood of skin irritation and discomfort, enhancing overall comfort during prolonged glove usage.
Skin Nourishment and Hydration
Colloidal oatmeal acts as a skin protectant and hydrating agent. Helps to maintain the natural moisture barrier of the skin, preventing it from becoming dry and cracked, which is particularly beneficial in the aged care setting where skin health is a priority.
Reduced Risk of Allergic Reactions
Latex-free and powder-free design. Minimises the risk of allergic reactions for both nurses and elderly patients, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is Colloidal Oatmeal?
Colloidal oatmeal, the compound utilised in GloveOn COATS® gloves, is made by milling the oat seeds into a fine powder. Colloidal oatmeal is recognised by the FDA as a skin protectant. GloveOn COATS gloves utilise the unique benefits of colloidal oatmeal by including a coating of colloidal oatmeal inside the glove. GloveOn COATS gloves moisturise your hands while you wear them, replacing moisture stripped from the skin, removing dead skin cells, relieving itch and irritation, repairing damages from other chemicals and calming the skin.
-
Do Oats contain Gluten ?
Oats do not naturally contain gluten. However, due to the demands of the modern agricultural market, oat crops are often grown in close proximity to, or on plots of land previously used to grow, wheat, barley and rye crops, which may lead to cross-contamination.
-
I have Coeliac Disease. Can I wear GloveOn COATS® gloves?
Yes. While minute traces of gluten due to cross-contamination may be in the colloidal oatmeal coating of GloveOn COATS gloves, topical exposure to gluten is completely safe for coeliac sufferers. According to the Centre for Coeliac Research, “…it is the oral ingestion of gluten that activates the immunological cascades leading to the autoimmune process typical of coeliac disease”.[1] That is, the adverse symptoms associated with coeliac disease occur only when gluten is ingested orally. The presence of gluten in products designed for external use, in particular the application of gluten products to the skin has been deemed safe by the Centre for Coeliac Research.
“If you have coeliac disease, then the application of gluten containing products to the skin should not be a problem, unless you have skin lesions that allow gluten to be absorbed systematically in great quantities”
– Dr Alessio Fasano, Medical Director of the Centre for Coeliac Research.[1]
In fact, it is generally agreed that gluten molecules are too large to be absorbed through the skin.[2] As always, you should practice appropriate hand washing techniques as part of routine hygiene practices when you anticipate contact with potentially infectious people or substances.REFERENCES:
