Rethinking skin protection: Why NP® Glove could mark the start of a new era

Occupational dermatitis affects over 20 million people globally, costing billions. How NP® Glove is redefining skin protection with SiO₂ technology – preventive, effective, and cosmetically approved.

For more than 100 years, skin protection has followed a simple rule: apply creams when skin turns red, sore, or irritated. But what if we could stop the damage before it happens? That’s the promise of NP® Glove – a new technology that prevents instead of treating.

A global problem: Occupational skin diseases are not rare. In the U.S. alone, over 13 million people are affected. Europe sees more than a million cases. Globally, more than 20 million people suffer. The consequences: lost working days, chronic discomfort, high treatment costs – over $1 billion per year in the U.S. alone.

The story of an affected person: A surgical assistant from Colombia experienced this firsthand. Years of chronic dermatitis caused by gloves and disinfectants. No cream or corticosteroid provided long-term relief. Only after using NP® Glove did her skin begin to heal – without medication or side effects. What started as a self-application turned into a documented clinical case series.

What Is NP® Glove? NP® Glove is not a medication, ointment, or medical product. It is a cosmetic product compliant with EU Regulation (EC No. 1223/2009), based on an innovative SiO₂ matrix. This matrix forms a breathable, second-skin-like barrier that protects against external irritants without sealing the skin or impairing its function.

Why it’s a paradigm shift: Instead of treating symptoms, NP® Glove offers proactive protection. The matrix is purely physical, free from grease, fragrances, corticosteroids, or biocides. It can be enhanced modularly – for moisture regulation or microbial defense. Skin protection becomes a platform, not just a product.

Fields of Application:

  • Healthcare and clinical staff
  • Gastronomy and food services
  • Cleaning and facility management
  • Daycare and educational institutions

Wherever skin is under daily stress, NP® Glove offers a new solution – without waiting, without a prescription.

Conclusion: NP® Glove shows that skin protection can be reimagined: preventive instead of reactive, structural instead of symptomatic. The technology is CE-compliant, immediately available, and offers millions a perspective beyond traditional treatment.
