Relief from Poison Oak and Poison Ivy?
Mean Green Power Hand Scrub is the most advanced hand cleaner on the market.
Mean Green Power Hand Scrub uses no solvents or harsh chemicals and is non-abrasive. It is good for your skin and actually heals your hands.
Mean Green Power Hand Scrub is tough enough to handle the dirtiest hands, but so gentle that it is also sold by cosmetic companies as a face scrub and exfoliant.
Mean Green Power Hand Scrub provides relief from the effects of poison oak and poison ivy?
That would seem to be the case.
Some years back, one of our outside sales reps was out in the woods and developed a reaction to poison ivy. He washed the affected area with Mean Green Power Hand Scrub and found that it gave relief from the effects of the urushiol oils in the plants. He went on to create a product called ZanfelŪ and has had great success selling it in pharmacies around the country. There is little evidence available to suggest that there is anything more in a tube of that product than what you will find in a tub of Mean Green Power Hand Scrub at a fraction of the cost.
We are apparently not the only folks who know this. Every month, especially in the Spring and Summer we get calls from frantic people asking us to ship them a tub of Mean Green Power Hand Scrub overnight, because their child has wandered into a patch of poison ivy or poison oak. Even at those exorbitant shipping rates, the savings are substantial.
How does it work?
I'm no chemist. I've found data online that mentions two components, ethoxylate and sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, which bind to the urushiol oil and keep it away from the skin. The poly-bead scrubbers are apparently a key factor as well, however. They get into the cracks and grooves of the skin and lift out the irritating oil. The surfactants and detergents then bond to it and carry it away from the skin.
The fact that Mean Green Power Hand Scrub is also the best hand cleaner on the market, and the cheapest hand cleaner you'll ever love, means that valuable space in your toolbox or camper now holds a dual-purpose product capable of tackling the toughest dirt the outdoors can leave on your hands and providing instant relief for the effects of poison oak and poison ivy. Mean Green Power Hand Scrub has left the shop floor and gone out into the wild.
