A little Work Putty goes a long way.

When should I use it?

Whenever your skin needs backup.

During the day — Reapply after washing your hands or whenever your skin starts feeling dry.

Is Work Putty greasy?

Work Putty is a rich, concentrated balm designed to condition the skin while leaving behind a protective feel without being excessively greasy.

Start with a small amount, work it into the skin, and give it a moment to absorb.

Will it make my hands slippery?

Using too much of any balm can temporarily affect grip.

Apply a small amount and allow it to absorb before handling tools, equipment, or anything requiring a secure grip.

Can I use Work Putty every day?

Yes.

Work Putty is designed for regular use and can be reapplied whenever your skin needs additional conditioning and protection.

What if I have sensitive skin?

Everyone’s skin is different.

If you have sensitive skin or known allergies, review the ingredient information for your specific Work Putty and test a small amount on one area before regular use.

Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

If you prefer to avoid added fragrance, Unscented is our fragrance-free option.

How long does a 2 oz tin last?

It depends on how much and how often you use it.

Work Putty is concentrated, so only a small amount is typically needed per application. With normal use, one 2 oz tin can last for weeks.

Can I keep Work Putty in my truck or toolbox?

Absolutely.

Work Putty was built to go where the work goes.

Keep one in your:

• Truck
• Toolbox
• Work bag
• Backpack
• Locker
• Desk
• Garage
• Nightstand

Because Work Putty is a balm, extreme heat can cause it to soften or melt. Store it in a cool, dry place and away from prolonged direct heat or sunlight whenever possible.

ABOUT SHIFT SHIELD™

What makes Shift Shield™ different?

Most companies make skincare.

We’re building Worker Protection.

Shift Shield™ was created around the realities of hardworking skin—long shifts, rough conditions, repeated washing, friction, weather, gloves, tools, and everyday wear.

Our focus isn’t beauty.

Our focus is building practical products for the people who keep things moving.

Built for everyday workers by everyday workers.

What does Worker Protection mean?

Worker Protection is the idea behind what we build.

Workers protect their tools, trucks, boots, equipment, and gear.

We believe the person doing the work deserves that same attention.

Your hands are some of the most valuable tools you own.

Protect them accordingly.

ORDERS & BUNDLES

Do you offer bundles?

Yes.

Our Worker’s Duo includes two Work Putty tins at a better value than purchasing them individually.

Keep one at work and one at home, or use the Duo to grab two of your favorite options.

Where can I buy Shift Shield™ Work Putty?

Work Putty is available directly through ShiftShieldUSA.com and through authorized Shift Shield™ retailers as they become available.

What if I’m not satisfied?

We stand behind what we build.

If something isn’t right with your order, contact us and we’ll do our best to make it right.

BUILT FOR HARD WORK.

We’re not here to make complicated skincare routines.
