Description
Tecnu Original Poison Oak and Ivy Skin Cleanser is a specialized 4 oz treatment designed to remove urushiol, the toxic oil found in poison oak, poison ivy, and poison sumac. This clinically proven formula effectively breaks down and removes the plant oils that cause allergic reactions, providing relief and preventing spread of contamination. When used within 2-8 hours of exposure, Tecnu can prevent or minimize the severity of allergic reactions. The gentle yet effective formula is safe for all family members and can be used on both skin and clothing. Tecnu has been the trusted choice of outdoor enthusiasts, landscapers, and healthcare professionals for over 40 years. The concentrated formula provides multiple applications in a convenient travel size perfect for camping, hiking, or gardening activities. Unlike soap and water alone, Tecnu's specialized surfactants specifically target and dissolve urushiol oils that water cannot remove. The product also helps cleanse skin of other outdoor irritants including wild parsnip and giant hogweed. Essential for anyone who spends time outdoors in areas where poisonous plants may be present.
Suggested Use
Apply Tecnu to dry skin immediately after suspected exposure to poison oak, ivy, or sumac. Rub in thoroughly for 2 minutes, covering all potentially exposed areas. Rinse with cool water and pat dry. For existing rash, apply to affected area, let sit for 2 minutes, then rinse. Can also be used to decontaminate clothing and tools.
