Re: Skin So Soft v. Poison Ivy

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

The ingredient is Bentoquantum 5% and the bottle says for maximum protection
avoid contact with poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac.  "Helps protect
against p.i., p.o. & p.s. rash when applied before contact."  Also advises
to apply 15 minutes before possible contact with plants.  You want to cover
exposed areas with wet film and let it dry.  You can see the areas that are
covered and therefore protected.  Not for kids under 6.   Call Avon's
product ingredient line for more info.  1 800 445-2866, M-F, 8-6.
