@Hannah Felton , you sound like such a good sister! For what it's worth, I've really been taken to this lotion bar (recipe at post #4 in https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/climb-on-hard-salve-recipe.72520/). Seriously, I've had chronic dry and rashy hands my whole life and tried every prescription strength cream, lotion, ointment and find this bar to be effective. My sons are rock climbers and their hands take a beating and they use this product religiously. I like the brand name -- but the homemade version takes just minutes to make and at a fraction of the cost. Best wishes to your brother's healing. Take care,
