THE THREAT IS REAL.

RSDL removes and/or neutralizes chemical warfare agents (CWAs) from the skin.

The volume of RSDL lotion within each 21 mL packet is enough to decontaminate the average equivalent of the hands, neck, face, and inside surface of a respirator, if you are wearing one.

Blue Packet – For demonstration purposes only (No active ingredients)

Green Packet – Active packet (Each packet contains active lotion, for use only when CWA exposure is suspected)
