Fels-Naptha is a laundry soap bar used to remove stains or hand-wash clothing. It has been sold for over a hundred years and is known for its effectiveness in removing tough stains such as grease, oil, dirt, grass, blood, sauces, baby food, beverages, and other hard-to-treat stains. The soap was originally created in 1893 by Fels and Company and originally included the ingredient naphtha, effective for cleaning laundry and urushiol, an oil contained in poison ivy. Naphtha was later removed as a cancer risk. According to the ingredients list on the Fels-Naptha website, it is no longer included in the soap. Instead, it now contains terpene hydrocarbons.
