Gloves in a Bottle — Like Hope in a Jar, a catchy name — but where's the beef?

Constant readers will recall Episode 1 in this series, back on October 7, 2006.

They called theirs "Invisible Glove" and I remarked on the unfortunate choice of name when "Second Skin" was there for the taking.

No matter.

A year's passed and this crowd still hasn't caught on.

Me, I'm slow, but I eventually get there.

These companies might never arrive.

From the website:

Gloves in a Bottle

Unlike conventional moisturizers that attempt to replace the loss of natural moisture with artificial moisture, these invisible gloves help alleviate dry skin by preserving your body’s own moisture.

Recommended by dermatologists, Gloves in a Bottle bonds with the outer layer of your skin, creating a protective layer that helps retain skin’s natural moisture.

Greaseless, non-sticky, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, non-toxic and undetectable when dry.

Does not wash off, but comes off naturally with exfoliated skin cells.

Works wonders on hands, feet, elbows, knees and heels.

Includes 8 oz. home size and 2 oz. travel size.

Reapply every 4 hours.

$20.

Hope in a Jar

(1 oz.) is $28.

Note to proctologists-in-training: The drawing on Gloves in a Jar's bottle (top) should not be construed as a go-ahead to use the product in lieu of a latex or vinyl glove on your business hand.

Eeewwww — who said that?

Flautist?

Anyone?
