Our Goal is to Help You Keep Workers Comp Costs Down
Tec Labs has been protecting work crews for over 30
years. Long known as "The Poison Oak and Ivy Experts," Tec Labs has
been diligent in developing the hands-down best products for
helping prevent or stopping poison oak and ivy rash.
Tec Labs began in 1977 with its legendary product, Tecnu; which was the
first product to remove the rash causing substance, urushiol, from
skin. After Tecnu's runaway success, the company moved on to other
skin problems to solve.
The
10-Hour Insect Repellent was launched in the mid 1980's and
quickly gained popularity. Millions of bottles later, The 10-Hour
Insect Repellent is still the insect repellent of choice for
workers who need all day protection from mosquitoes and other
disease carrying insects.
Soon after, Calagel was introduced to compliment Tecnu and
offer additional relief to those with an active rash. Calagel's
special formulation contains ingredients to help dry up an oozing
rash, prevent a secondary infection and protect skin as it
heals.
Corticool was
introduced as a first of its kind mentholated hydrocortisone gel.
Suspending hydrocortisone in a gel formulation was a new approach
to making a hydrocortisone product. Corticool's clever formulation
allows more hydrocortisone to actually get to the affected area.
When compared to a prescription hydrocortisone ointment, Corticool
was found to be two times more effective delivering hydrocortisone
to the desired area.
Next up was Tecnu Extreme scrub. Tecnu Extreme shot
out of the gate as the first all-in-one poison oak and ivy product
to either help prevent a rash before it starts, or help stop an
existing rash once it's begun. Tecnu Extreme works in only 15
seconds and has become the biggest selling product in Tec Labs'
line of oak and ivy products.
Along the way, Tec Labs has won many awards for being a great
place to work. The Scientist magazine named Tec Labs
as the number one place to work in the life sciences industry for
three years in a row. The magazine looked at companies from the
U.S., Canada and Western Europe. Men's Fitness
magazine named Tec Labs one of the 15 fittest companies in the U.S.
in 2007.
Tec Labs is located in Oregon's lush Willamette Valley. The
company will continue to focus on developing world class products
to help protect workers who are working in the trenches every day.
