When my father - Inlaw was taking Chemotherapy and Radiation for his lung cancer, his skin became very itchy and painful to tough. The doctor suggested he use Castile Soap. He tried 2 different types bought from the store. I bought him the Castile soap from Rose of Sharon Acres in hopes he would give it a try. I was very happy when he told me he liked it. Store bought ones felt sticky and hard to wash off. Rose of Sharon Acres wasn't sticky, washed off and made his skin feel "normal" again.
