In December 2008 my husband was diagnosed with SCC base of tongue cancer. Following surgery he went through 33 treatments of radiation and weekly chemotherapy. During his treatment I sought natural and moisturizing products to care for his skin. As a result of my search, I have begun making homemade soap with no dyes or perfumes and made of all natural ingredients (olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and avocado or flax seed oil). It has proven to be quite soothing and well tolerated - especially during chemo where even the lightest scents can prove nauseating and non-irritating to those with skin sensitivities and conditions. If you are interested in trying some, please email me at

I will not charge anyone undergoing cancer treatment for the soap. I only ask for you to reimburse my for the shipping charges ($4.95 - flat rate cost from USPS). To cover to the cost of the materials, and to continue the mission of providing the very best products to those suffering donations are accepted.
Please feel free to email me with questions or to request a special formula. I'm happy to work with you and your loved ones.
May you all find strength during this difficult time. Remember you are not alone. God bless!
