In case this product has not discussed before I will let you know my
results.

The "Glove in a Bottle" product is a white lotion that claims to help
dry hands and also to act as a barrier to chemicals and other
toxins. It also says that once absorbed by the skin, it stays there
until natural exfoliation occurs (approx. every 21 days). I wondered
if the lotion would interfere with henna staining.

I used Mehndi Mud product on the top of my left foot using a simple
Celtic design. The design was symmetrical with thicker ribbon at
either end. Before application I swabbed foot with rubbing alcohol,
let dry, then applied the "Glove in a bottle" to a small area. I
applied the MUD with half the design over the Glove in a bottle
patch. I applied several layers of Freeman's facial mask after
letting the henna dry slightly, bandaged and left it on for 10 hours.

Fast forward 24 hours: The Glove in a Bottle product did not keep
the henna from staining skin.... however, it did result in a lighter
stain.

Conclusions:

Will not keep skin from absorbing stain.

Will keep stain lighter in areas applied, which could be a desired
effect.

p.s. One idea would be to use the Glove product on your own henna-
stained hands to protect the current design while you are working on
others to lessen the accidental staining that sometimes occurs when
working with henna.
