About

For over 30 years, the brand has helped millions of people struggling with severely dry, irritated, over-washed, or medically compromised skin. Its hero product became an Amazon #1 Best Seller in the Hand & Creams/Lotions category and has been featured on national platforms such as the Today Show and Good Morning America, solidifying its reputation as a trusted, science-backed solution.Beyond skincare, Gloves In A Bottle is rooted in service. Throughout the COVID era and continuing today, the brand has donated tens of thousands of bottles to medical workers, teachers, first responders, and communities in need. With a mission to protect skin so people can keep doing what they love, Gloves In A Bottle continues to expand its retail footprint across 6,345+ Walgreens locations, Ace Hardware stores, and independent pharmacies while staying committed to effective, dermatologist-endorsed formulas and meaningful social impact.

Founding Story

Gloves In A Bottle began with an unexpected “ah-ha” moment deep in the gold-mining industry of the early 1990s. Founder Dan Mueller, who spent years around harsh industrial chemicals, noticed workers applying a thick, messy protective paste under their gloves as a last line of defense. It worked—but it was impractical, uncomfortable, and impossible for everyday life. Dan realized there had to be a better way to protect skin from irritants, moisture loss, and environmental damage.

That spark led him to assemble a team of chemists and dermatologists to solve a simple but universal problem: Why are traditional lotions not preventing dry, irritated skin—only temporarily masking it? After years of development, they created a breakthrough formula that bonded with the outer layer of skin to act like an invisible protective shield. A solution originally made for mechanics, builders, and industrial workers quickly became a cult favorite among dermatologists—and later, thousands of people struggling with eczema, psoriasis, and severe dryness.

What started as a niche invention in hardware stores evolved into a multi-decade skincare brand trusted by medical professionals, frontline workers, artists, teachers, and families around the world. Today, Gloves In A Bottle continues to be guided by that same founding belief: when you protect the skin barrier, the skin has the power to heal itself.
