Burt's Bees Poison Ivy Soap

Many of my customers ask me; why is this soap any different than other soap and how does it work?

To begin with if you have actual poison ivy (or one of its seedy brothers, sumac or oak) regular soap isn’t a good bet. It is drying and it isn’t very effective on ridding the skin of urushiol, which is the yucky stuff in the plant that causes the reaction. Since you still will want to bathe (I hope), this poison ivy soap will help keep you clean without contributing to the problem.

It also helps because of its main ingredients, jewelweed, clay and tar are all touted for their anti-itching properties. And you can actually prevent getting poison ivy or sumac by cleaning your hands with the soap before venturing out.

Ingredients: Vegetable soap base, vegetable glycerin, oat protein, kaolin (natural clay), tea tree oil, pine tar, garden balsam leaf (jewelweed)

What customers are saying about the
Poison Ivy Soap

"For those of you who have never suffered the effects of this poison ivy, it is a nightmare. It is almost impossible to take a shower once the rash turns into blisters. A friend of mine recommended this Burt’s poison ivy soap. It quickly eased my discomfort and allowed me to take bath/shower without exasperating the problem. I also think it helped to stop the blisters from spreading. I keep a bar of Burt’s in my washbasin when I come in from gardening and wash my hands thoroughly with this soap. So far this season no outbreak of a rash. "
