That I don't know, Mel. Another thing is that some of our ingredients here are different from ingredients where you live. I think most of our soaps and cleansers on the shelves have triclosan in them as well.

That said, if I was Alan and it was helping my skin better than anything else then I'd use it for now too.

It would be a shocking condition to have to deal with and I'm hoping that he can get some relief for a long time.

I think another member mentioned it but I have a friend with this condition and the only thing she ever found that gave her relief was swimming in the ocean. That said, it's a pretty warm ocean here where I live, and it'd be impossible for Alan to do that in the middle of winter up and over where you are.

take care there.

EDITED to add. Just looked at the link Marlene posted. Thanks.

The info on the cleansing bar indicates it's not a Soap. I take it that means it wouldn't have foaming agents in it.
I'll have a good look later when I get time, because we use this brand of product and my daughter has some skin problems so I don't want to keep buying something that might not be good for her skin.
