Abstract
The present application is directed to various compositions to treat the itching and conditions that result from contracting poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac, as well as other plant and substances that contain substances that lead to a skin reaction but that upon removal alleviate the symptoms of the condition. In particular, the compositions described herein are useful for removing urushiol after it has contacted the skin. The compositions include granules or other scrubbing means to reach the urushiol in the skin, a mixture of surfactants to form a complex with the urushiol, counter-irritants to provide a soothing sensation to the irritated skin, and other functional ingredients to provide additional benefits to the individual who has contacted urushiol.
