What to Wear When Everything Irritates Your Skin

What to Wear When Everything Irritates Your Skin

If you’ve ever had a glove make your hands itch, burn, or break out—you’re not imagining things. Glove-related allergies are real. And they’re surprisingly common.

Latex is the most notorious culprit, but even some nitrile gloves can cause reactions due to accelerants and chemical residues used in the manufacturing process.

So what do you do when everything seems to irritate your skin?

Know the Signs of Glove Allergies

Some glove reactions are immediate. Others show up hours later. Common symptoms include:

  • Red, itchy, or dry skin after glove use
  • Swelling or burning around the wrists or fingers
  • Rashes or bumps that look like contact dermatitis
  • Worsening with frequent hand washing or sanitizers

These aren’t minor annoyances. For professionals who wear gloves every day—like nurses, dentists, or food handlers—glove allergies can affect job performance and long-term skin health.


✅ The Solution: Eagle Sensitive Nitrile Gloves

When you can’t compromise on safety—but need something gentle on skin—Eagle Sensitive nitrile gloves are the answer.

Here’s why they work:

💧 LOW DERMA™ Certified

These gloves are clinically proven to have low dermatitis potential. That means they’re designed specifically for users with glove sensitivity.

🧪 Accelerant-Free

Many nitrile gloves use chemical accelerants (like thiurams and carbamates) during processing. Eagle Sensitive gloves are made without accelerants to reduce allergic risk.

🧤 Powder-Free & Latex-Free

No dust. No residues. And no natural rubber latex to trigger immediate allergic reactions.

🛡️ Fentanyl + Xylazine Resistant

Despite being gentle on skin, Sensitive gloves offer premium protection. They're tested against harsh drugs and chemicals—ideal for healthcare, EMS, and more.


Bottom line: You shouldn’t have to choose between skin safety and real protection. Eagle Sensitive nitrile gloves give you both.
