It has shown that if you apply the lather before exposure and then shower immediately after, with the soap it can help with not getting any rash. Wash your entire body in LUKEWARM water with Poison Ivy Soap do not use any other soap or body wash at this time as the ingredients may spread the urushiol or irritate any rash. Remove the urushiol Remove the itch Prevent the rashĪfter exposure to poison ivy, use the soap exclusively when bathing. If this substance can be removed (it is waterproof), the rash will quit spreading. When this substance is spread, the rash will spread. It is now known that allergic reactions from these plants are caused by Urushiol, a sticky lacquer-like substance found in the sap of the plants. It was once believed that the plants themselves caused an allergic rash and the rash could spread over a persons body or from one person to another. My Soaps uses only fresh picked jewelweed in our soap. Jewelweed is found in nature, usually, nearby the poison plants. Jewelweed is Mother Natures cure for the itch and rash of Poison Ivy, Oak or Poison Sumac. It is made with: Lye, Pig Tallow (lard), castor oil, vitamin E and JEWELWEED. Washing in warm water with the soap soon after exposure to the plant will wash the oils of the plant down the drain. Putting the lather on your skin before exposure, and then washing right after exposure has been shown to help. Repeat that process as necessary until the rash is gone. The most important aspect of the soap is making sure after you wash with the soap, you rub the lather on the rash like a paste and let it dry. Our Poison Ivy soap stops the itching on contact. I believe it works so well that I have often ordered the soap and handed it out to friends who need it. Even after being hit in the face with the vines I have not gotten the rash thanks to your soap. Nevertheless, I always shower afterward using your poison ivy soap. Twice I have been struck in the face by poison ivy vines and yes I am allergic to it. I always cover up really well and wear goggles.

Every Monday is my pull out poison ivy day (we have a lot of it L). I am very grateful for your soaps especially the poison ivy soap.
