This one or the Black Pearl? +
Both are 6 mil black latex. They are not the same glove, and the difference is worth understanding before you order.
| This glove | Black Pearl Latex | |
|---|---|---|
| Grade | Industrial, non-sterile | Medical grade |
| Texture coverage | Palm | Fully textured |
| Fingertip grip | Smooth | Textured |
| Chlorinated donning | — | ✓ |
| Tattoo & clinical work | ✕ | ✓ |
| Price | Lower | Premium |
Buy this one if you want latex comfort and grip for general work — food prep, salon services, cleaning, pet care, light shop work. No compliance requirement, no reason to pay more.
Buy the Black Pearl if you tattoo, pierce, or work anywhere a medical-grade barrier is required. Fingertip texture and medical certification aren't upgrades in that work — they're the requirement.
Why latex instead of nitrile +
| Latex | Nitrile | |
|---|---|---|
| Elasticity & rebound | Highest | Moderate |
| Fit & comfort over long wear | Best | Good |
| Tactile sensitivity | Higher | Good |
| Oil & petroleum resistance | Lower | Better |
| Safe with latex allergy | ✕ | ✓ |
Latex moves with your hand. Natural rubber has a stretch and rebound synthetic materials still can't fully match. Across an eight-hour shift that's the difference between a glove you forget you're wearing and one you're fighting.
Palm texture for grip. The textured palm channels liquid away so you keep hold of tools, handles, and wet product. Fingertips stay smooth for tactile feel.
Powder-free. No powder to contaminate food, product, or work surfaces — and lower risk of powder-related irritation.
Black hides everything. Grease, dye, food, dirt. Looks professional through a full shift instead of looking wrecked in the first hour.
Important — latex allergy +
Natural rubber latex can cause Type I allergic reactions ranging from skin irritation to serious systemic responses. The risk applies to the wearer and to whoever the glove contacts.
In food service and salons, ask. If you're handling food a customer will eat or working directly on a client, latex allergy is worth asking about before you glove up.
Keep a nitrile option on the shelf. Our black nitrile gloves cover anyone who can't have latex — same color, zero latex proteins.
Who uses these +
Barbers & salons. Color application, chemical services, and washes. Latex gives you the fine control the work needs, and black doesn't show dye through a full day of clients.
Food prep & catering. Powder-free with palm grip for handling wet product. Black reads as professional in an open kitchen or front-of-house setting where blue looks clinical.
Janitorial & cleaning. Comfortable enough for extended wear, with grip that holds on wet handles and bottles.
Pet care & grooming. Dexterity for handling animals, grip for wet coats, and a glove that doesn't fatigue your hands over a long groom.
Light shop & general maintenance. Parts handling, assembly, and cleanup. For heavy oil and solvent work, our nitrile options resist petroleum better.
Anyone who tried nitrile and missed latex. Plenty of people switched and hated the feel. This is the value way back.
Size guide +
Measure around your palm at the widest point, not including your thumb.
| Size | Palm circumference |
|---|---|
| S | 6.5" – 7.5" |
| M | 7.5" – 8.5" |
| L | 8.5" – 9.5" |
| XL | 9.5" – 10.5" |
Latex runs snug and stretches. Unlike nitrile, latex gives as you wear it. Most people take their normal size, or size down for a tighter feel on detail work.
Stocking a team? Most crews land around 35% Medium, 30% Large, 20% Small, 15% XL.

Common questions +
Do these contain latex?
Yes. Natural rubber latex. If you or anyone you work on has a latex allergy, use one of our black nitrile options instead.
Can I use these for tattooing?
We don't recommend it. These are industrial grade with palm texture only — your fingertips stay smooth. For tattoo and piercing, the Black Pearl Latex is medical grade and fully textured.
Are these medical or exam gloves?
No. Industrial, multi-purpose, non-sterile. If you need exam grade, look at our Black Pearl range or our 6 Mil Black Nitrile Exam gloves.
Are they food safe?
Powder-free latex is widely used in food service. If your operation requires documented food-contact certification, our Pearl nitrile range is tested to EN1186.
Will these hold up to oil and solvents?
For heavy petroleum work, nitrile is the better material. Latex handles water, general cleaning chemicals, and salon products well.
