Maybe because it's the spray and not the scrub? I looked up Tecnu (I used to use it when I did more mtn.bike riding and would encounter poison ivy). Looks like what you want is Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy and Oak Scrub. Haven't purchased any for a while, but I would think a store which carries hunting equipment, such as Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, Amazon has it.
Ingredient list: Tecnu Extreme Ingredients & Label Info | Tec Labs (teclabsinc.com) -not exactly same as what you listed, but does have the grindelia robusta extract.
Looks like Walmart carries it also. Looks like the spray is different than the scrub.
Out of curiosity I found my Technu--it is the Extreme Scrub. Sounds like the spray is just an anti-itch spray.
Diphenhydramine is basically Benadryl--good to stop itching (used a cream with it for skeeter bites this past summer), but does nothing so far as removing the oil from poison ivy/oak from your skin.

I've got two bottles of the stuff (lotion, not spray) that have been here for several years. Neither has those ingredients you listed (or the benedryl).
