Tecnu Poison Oak And Ivy Skin Cleanser cleans and decontaminates clothing and skin after exposure to poison oak, ivy, and sumac. Its unique, waterless cleansing formula has been proven to remove the cause of the irritating itch and spreading rash, the poison plants' oil, urushiol. Urushiol "locks on" to skin cells within 20 minutes after exposure. Left untreated, skin will erupt into a red, itchy rash in 3 out of 4 people within 12 to 72 hours. Urushiol can also be picked up secondhand from contaminated clothes, pets, or tools.

Tecnu is especially formulated to "unlock" urushiol. Other products simply cover up the problem, whil Tecnu cleanses the poison plant oil that causes the rash. Used within 2 to 8 hours, Tecnu can remove urushiol before the rash begins. once the rash has started, washing with Tecnu helps remove any free oils on skin or clothing, thus allowing the skin's natural healing process to begin without possible recontamination.
