Poison ivy prevention

Poison ivy block and cleanse for crews in the field

Poison ivy, oak and sumac all carry urushiol, an oil that can cause an itchy, blistering rash. Nobody on a crew can take time off for that. Our three-step system covers each stage: Block before work, Cleanse after exposure, Relief if a rash still shows up.

Questions crews ask

Poison ivy prevention: FAQ

When do I apply Ivy Block?
Before you go into the brush. It goes on like sunscreen to all exposed skin, dries quickly and offers immediate protection. It is a barrier, not a rash treatment.
How does Ivy Block work?
Bentonite clay absorbs urushiol oil at the skin surface, dimethicone adds a protective layer and zinc acetate helps dry the skin. The actives are zinc acetate 0.1% and dimethicone 3.0%.
Why not just use regular soap after exposure?
Bar soap can pick up urushiol and move it around the skin. I.C. Ivy Cleanse is formulated with micro scrubbers to lift the oil off. Wash as soon as you leave the contaminated area.
What if a rash still appears?
I.C. Ivy Relief uses diphenhydramine HCl and zinc acetate to soothe the itch and help dry weeping or oozing skin. The roll-on stick gives over 500 spot applications.
