Hyman has been interested in science and helping people his entire life. He comes from Ethiopia where he has seen many people with skin cancer who cannot afford expensive surgery. When he was four years old, he moved to the United States where he developed his own soap. The soap costs only $10, so it can help many people with skin cancer.
What is skin cancer?
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in humans.* Our skin is made up of billions of tiny cells, many of which are replaced every day. Our body is busy producing new cells every moment of the day. In a person with skin cancer, some cells are malignant and spread through the skin. This can cause a spot or wound on the skin. This spot can get bigger and start bleeding. This is, for example, due to strong radiation from the sun and is often treated with surgery. However, such an operation costs a lot of money.
What does soap do?
Skin cancer can be fought at a much lower cost using Heyman soap. Soap consists of various ingredients that activate certain cells in the skin to fight malignant cells. People with skin cancer can rub soap on their skin to activate healthy skin cells.
