Skin MD Natural and Gloves In A Bottle are both very good shielding lotions, far superior to anything else on the market.

Even though they both work in the same way the main differences are the ingredients. Skin MD Natural has a state-of-the-art humectant which is 6 times more hydrating than the long time industry standard, glycerin http://www.skinmdnatural.com/why-skin-md-natural.html. The ingredients in Skin MD Natural are 93% natural (an unprecedentedly high percentage for any broadly distributed skin care product) and more than 3 times the cost of the ingredients in Gloves In A Bottle. Skin MD Natural was formulated between 2001 - 2005 and incorporates a number of advancements in skin care technology that did not exist when Gloves In A Bottle was formulated in 1994-1995.

Here is the list of ingredients for SMDN along with their definitions http://www.skinmdnatural.com/shielding-lotion/ingredients.html

Skin MD Natural has much more appeal to women for general skin care use as well as all these specific uses depicted on this page http://www.skinmdnatural.com/dry-skin-care/rave-reviews.html so the size of the market for Skin MD Natural is far greater than that of Gloves In A Bottle.
