Geroquinol (geranylhydroquinone) is a radioprotective agent. It is also the major contact allergen of Phacelia Crenulate (a flowering plant in the borage family), which causes skin irritation comparable in degree to the skin reaction to urushiol, the sap found in poison oak/ivy. There is no cross-reaction with poison oak or ivy.
