Alra All Vegetable Soap - Unscented

Cleansing skin with mild products is routine care for patients undergoing cancer treatment. Clinical research indicates a significant reduction of itching scores and erythema/desquamation scores in patients who wash with medical soap and water following radiation treatments. Choosing moisturizing, unscented mild soap is important because regular soaps tend to dry out skin by stripping too much sebum, and therefore should be avoided.

Naturally-derived glycerin makes Alra All Vegetable Unscented Mild Soap ultra-soothing to skin that is irritated and damaged due to radiation treatment. Thanks to the high content of glycerin and several botanical oils, this unique soap has excellent cleansing effect without drying out the skin or irritating it further.

Formulated with all-natural, lipid-replenishing ingredients, Alra soap is just slightly sudsy, and therefore very mild and suitable for all skin types.

These are the soap’s benefits and key ingredients at a glance:

• Excellent cleansing effect without irritating or drying out skin
• Made from vegetable glycerin and premium, food-grade olive, palm and coconut oils
• Free of preservatives, added colors, fragrance, and gluten
• PH-balanced to maintain the protective function of healthy skin

Ingredients: Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Palmate, Sodium Olivate, Distilled Water and Glycerin.

About This Brand: Alra Care Products provide skin care for men and women to help soothe and relieve the effects of radiation, chemotherapy, and day to day wear from cancer treatments.  Alra evolved when two close friends were each diagnosed with breast cancer.  Neither of their physicians had a recommendation to soothe the redness, itching, and dryness each were experiencing.  Responding to these skin care needs, ALRA (short for all radiation) Therapy Lotion was created in 1987.  European trained cosmetic chemist Henry Ott, who has developed skin and hair care products for major companies, turned to his laboratory and collaborated with Ronald W. Thompson, M.D. at Cedars-Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center. Utilizing the finest medically proven moisturizing and restorative ingredients in high levels for efficacy, ALRA Therapy Lotion was tested and proven safe and effective. After positive results and reviews from the Therapy Lotion, the Non-Metallic Deodorant and Mild Conditioning Shampoo were developed.  

Alra is proudly made in the USA and a portion of proceeds are given to support organizations such as the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the Wellness Community and the American Cancer Society.
