    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Occupational Health
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Occupational skin exposure is a concern for car painters.
    • Inner gloves or creams are used to improve comfort and skin compatibility under protective gloves.
    • Cotton gloves and astringent creams are common interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the skin compatibility and comfort of cotton inner gloves versus a special astringent cream for car painters.
    • To evaluate user preference between cotton inner gloves and an astringent cream under disposable polyethylene gloves.

    Main Methods:

    • A single-blind, cross-over study design was employed.
    • 64 car painters participated in the study.
    • Skin compatibility and comfort were assessed for cotton gloves and an astringent cream worn under polyethylene gloves.

    Main Results:

    • 59% of painters preferred the astringent cream, while 33% preferred cotton inner gloves.
    • The difference in preference between the cream and cotton gloves was not statistically significant.
    • Individuals with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) under gloves showed a tendency to prefer cotton inner gloves.

    Conclusions:

    • A special astringent cream can be a suitable alternative to cotton inner gloves for car painters based on preference.
    • The choice between cream and cotton may depend on individual factors like sweating tendencies.
    • Astringent creams used in this context should be formulated without sensitizing components to ensure skin safety.
