Poison Oak, Ivy and Nuclear Fallout - Tecnu® was developed in 1961, during the cold war years by chemical engineer, Dr. Robert Smith, as an effective waterless cleanser capable of removing radioactive dust from skin and clothing. His wife accidentally discovered that Tecnu would cleanse poison plant oils after exposure to poison oak and ivy. Tecnu has become standard-issue in first aid kits of outdoor professionals across the country. Now, you can put Tecnu to work for your family.
No Other Product Unlocks Urushiol - The poison plants' oil, urushiol (oo-roo-she-all) "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. Urushiol can also be picked up second-hand from contaminated clothes, pets, or tools.
Tecnu's unique formula "unlocks" urushiol. Used within a few hours, Tecnu can remove urushiol before the rash begins. If the rash has started, washing with Tecnu helps remove any free oils from the skin, allowing the natural healing process to begin without recontamination.
Tecnu® Ingredients: Deodorized Mineral Spirits, Water, Propylene Glycol, Octylphenoxy-Polyethoxyethanol, Mixed Fatty Acid Soap and Fragrance.
Tecnu® and CalaGel® work together - If you have been exposed to poison oak, ivy or sumac, you should thoroughly clean up with Tecnu as soon as possible after exposure to unlock and remove the poison oils that cause your rash. If the rash has appeared, use CalaGel to stop the itching, dry the oozing, reduce the swelling and help avoid possible infection.
