Testimony From Gaylon in Tennessee-

I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the "ItchEeze" product you have developed. I had poison oak on both wrists and it was rapidly spreading to my upper arms. I used your ItchEeze several times for a couple of days and by the third day, it was completely dried up. It's a great product! Keep up the good work! 

Ingredients-

Herbs

•Dandelion -- Dandelions have been used in many different ways from detoxifying  the body to removing warts.

•Plantain -- Studies have demonstrated that the juice of the plantain plant is both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. Plantain contains allantoin, an anti-inflammatory phytochemical that kills germs, speeds wound healing, and stimulates the growth of new skin cells.

•Yellow dock -- Yellow dock has been used for centuries for its astringent properties  and for treating a variety of skin problems, which include rashes, blemishes, burns, and boils.

Beeswax

We use beeswax instead of petroleum because it contains “wax esthers” that also exist in human skin.  It is a natural hydrating agent that increases essential moisture in the skin.  Beeswax has a very low irritation potential and promotes healing and softening of skin and is an antiseptic. Historically, Beeswax was used in Greece to treat abscesses, by the Assyrians to heal wounds, and by the Egyptians for mummification. Numerous scientific tests have been conducted with a variety of bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microorganisms.  A study recently found that a mixture of honey, beeswax and olive oil inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans isolated from human specimens.

Castor oil

Castor oil has been used therapeutically for hundreds of years, both internally and externally. Applied topically, it has many beneficial effects in a wide range of conditions. Almost 90% of its fatty acid content consists of ricinoleic acid. Such a high concentration of this unusual, unsaturated fatty acid is thought to be responsible for castor oil's healing abilities.  Ricinoleic acid has been shown to be effective in preventing the growth of numerous species of viruses, bacteria, yeasts and molds. (J Am Oil Chem Soc 61;37.323-325.) One study has found that castor oil decreased pain more than ultrasound gel or Vaseline during extracorporeal shock wave application.

Olive oil

Topical Uses

For thousands of years olive oil has been used on the skin as a moistuizer and to soften skin.  
Below is a 2005 study involving infants and diaper dermatitis in Dubai Medical Center.

Twelve infants suffering from diaper dermatitis were treated four times daily for 7 days with a mixture ontaining honey, olive oil and beeswax. The severity of erythema was evaluated on a five-point scale. Three infants had severe erythema and ulceration, four had moderate erythema, and five had moderate erythema with maceration. The initial mean lesion score of 2.91±0.79 declined significantly (p<0.05) to 2.0±0.98 (day 3), 1.25±0.96 (day 5) and 0.66±0.98 (day 7). Candida albicans was isolated initially from four patients, but from only two patients after treatment. This topocal treatment was safe and well-tolerated, and demonstrated clinical and mycological benefits in the treatment of diaper dermatitis. Another study found that a mixture of honey, beeswax and olive oil also inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus and Candida albicans isolated from human specimens.

Olive oil, honey, and beeswax are some of the main ingredients in our skin care products.
