I think they want to keep the skin moisturized as much as possible with none of those other perfumes etc ingredients. After radiation treatment, you then may use the Aquaphor or whatever lotion they are recommending. I found Biafine to be the best for me, but people have found others that work better than Aquaphor. I think Florida Bill just mentioned one in a previous post that he bought at Walgreens.
Take care,
