Triple-Action Skin Cleanser Removes Urushiol

US RE45,335 E1; a patent has been reissued to Tec Laboratories, Inc., Albany, OR, for a method for removing urushiol from a person’s skin while simultaneously relieving and healing contact dermatitis associated with urushiol.

The steps entail applying to the exposed skin a composition made by combining: three surfactants consisting of polysorbate 20, polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, and coconut diethanolamide; a thickening agent consisting of a carbomer; a preservative consisting of benzethonium chloride; a topical analgesic consisting of grindelia robusta extract; an inert scrubbing medium consisting of polyethylene beads; at least one fragrance; and purified water in a form allowing for application to skin.

The next step is to cleanse the skin by rubbing the composition into the affected area followed by rinsing the affected area with water to clean away dead skin and debris.
