DermaSilk® Children's Open Finger Gloves for Eczema, Dermatitis & Sensitive Skin

Give your child the therapeutic benefits of DermaSilk® medical-grade silk while allowing complete freedom to use their fingers. DermaSilk® Children's Open Finger Gloves have been specially developed for children living with eczema (atopic dermatitis), contact dermatitis, psoriasis, dry skin and other sensitive skin conditions, providing soothing protection without limiting everyday activities.

Available Sizes

• 3–4 years – Middle finger approximately 4 cm
• 5–9 years – Middle finger approximately 5 cm

The open-finger design makes these gloves ideal for children who need to write, draw, use tablets, play, read or attend school while still protecting the delicate skin on the hands and wrists. Made from DermaSilk's unique medical-grade knitted silk combined with Coolmax® technology, the gloves help maintain a comfortable skin environment by reducing friction, managing moisture and allowing the skin to breathe naturally.

Unlike ordinary cotton gloves, DermaSilk's smooth silk fibres minimise rubbing against damaged skin while helping maintain a balanced level of moisture. The breathable Coolmax® fibres wick excess perspiration away from the skin, helping keep hands cooler and more comfortable throughout the day. This combination may help reduce itching and support the skin's natural healing process.

The snug elasticated fit keeps the gloves comfortably in place without being restrictive. They can also be worn underneath protective gloves when extra skin protection is required, making them suitable for school activities, hobbies and daily life.
