The Gloves Are Off: Why SEALA does what UV Gloves Can’t

In the world of beauty, protection is everything. But when it comes to shielding your skin during gel manicures, not all methods are created equal. You’ve probably seen, or even used, UV protective gloves in the salon chair. They look like a great idea at first: slip them on, pop your hands under the lamp, and assume you’re safe from UV exposure.

But let’s take the gloves off for a second—and get real.

Because while UV gloves offer some protection, they’re not doing nearly as much as you think. And that’s exactly where SEALA comes in.

 

 

Let’s Compare: SEALA vs. UV Gloves

 

	SEALA UV Mist	UV Protective Gloves
Covers the entire hand	Yes—every exposed area	No—fingertips, knuckles, and sides often exposed
Interferes with curing?	No—SEALA is misted only on the skin, never the nail plate	Yes—gloves must be cut or removed to allow polish curing
Feel and comfort	Lightweight, invisible, no disruption	Can feel clumsy or awkward during services
Skin benefits	Antioxidant, anti-aging, barrier-protective	Purely physical barrier, no skincare benefit
Retail-ready?	Yes—high-margin add-on for salons	No—rarely retailed, often a one-time personal purchase
Brand alignment	Luxury, scientific, seamless	Often feels DIY or medical
Ease of use	One fine mist, dries instantly	Must be worn, sized, and remembered

 

What UV Gloves Get Wrong

Here’s the kicker: most UV gloves are fingerless—because the gel polish still needs to cure. But the fingers, knuckles, and backs of hands are exactly where UVA damage is most concentrated. That’s where the skin is thinnest, the most exposed, and—ironically—the least protected.

So while UV gloves block some rays, they leave your most vulnerable areas directly under the lamp.

And that’s not just ineffective—it’s misleading.

What SEALA Gets Right

SEALA isn’t a workaround. It’s a solution.

Created specifically for use during LED/UV curing, SEALA offers a breathable, non-occlusive mist that:

• Delivers broad-spectrum UVA protection

• Contains Ectoin to reduce oxidative stress at the cellular level

• Is lightweight, fast-drying, and won’t interfere with nail adhesion

• Adds a luxurious skincare experience to the manicure ritual

• Can be sold by salons, turning protection into profit

Bottom Line:

UV gloves protect what they cover. SEALA protects what’s actually exposed.

So next time you’re sitting under the lamp, ask yourself:

Do I want partial protection—or full, intelligent defence?

Because in the age of aesthetic bio-defence, the gloves are off.
