Alra Born from Oncology
The Beginning
Henrich founded Neue Cosmetic in Los Angeles, originally focusing on haircare. That same year, both his wife Sarah in LA and a close friend in San Francisco were diagnosed with breast cancer. After radiation, they suffered from severe skin reactions—burns, dryness, itching, and inflammation.
Henrich collaborated with Sarah’s radiation oncologist at Cedars-Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center to develop a healing lotion. The key formula combined bio-activated aloe vera with molecularly modified lanolin—proven to outperform FGF in fibroblast repair.
Following clinical trials and successful recovery, Henrich and Sarah launched the brand Alra—named as a dedication to radiation care.
Coping Magazine
In a feature story about Sarah Ott, Coping Magazine detailed how Alra was born out of personal cancer care:
"Sarah's husband, Henry, a chemical engineer and owner of Neue Cosmetic Co., Inc., welcomed the opportunity to help his wife and her friend. He began to formulate a cream for her skin care that eventually, through cooperation with Sarah's physician Ronald W. Thompson, MD, FACR, Director of Radiation Therapy, Cedars Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center, Los Angeles, CA, became ALRA (for "all radiation") Therapy Lotion. The lotion was distributed to cancer treatment centers, and in 1990, Sarah became manager of "ALRA Oncology Care" and the Neue Medical Products division of their corporation. "
This story highlighted the brand’s deeply personal origins and its founder’s dedication to creating effective solutions during real cancer recovery.
ADVANCE for Administrators in Radiology
This trade publication chronicled Alra's early development and clinical acceptance.
It reflects the brand's credibility among global medical professionals even before mainstream distribution.
New York Times Feature
Alra was featured in the article “Cancer-Specific Products: An Unnecessary Balm?” as one of the most affordable and trusted skin care options for cancer patients:
“Alra, a 20-year-old skin-care line…developed by Henry Ott after his wife, Sarah,underwent radiation therapy for breast cancer”
This feature helped introduce Alra’s accessible approach to cancer care to a national audience.
U.S. Hospital Recommendations
2009 — Northwestern University Cancer Center Patient Handbook
Alra’s Non-Metallic Deodorant was officially listed as a recommended product:
"Alra®, which is designed for patients receiving radiation."
Its inclusion in institutional care guidance supports its reputation for safety and efficacy.
2010 — University of Michigan Health Patient Handbook
Alra’s Therapy Lotion was directly recommended and sold within the hospital:
“Alra® is a combination of aloe gel, vitamin E, lanolin, allantoin, and soluble collagen. It was designed to soothe skin affected by radiation therapy. It is water soluble and rinses off easily. Alra® can be purchased at the pharmacy on the first floor of the Taubman Center, at the pharmacy on B1 of the Cancer Center, or online at Alra’s website.”
This confirms institutional trust and on-site availability at one of the top cancer centers in the U.S.

Why Breast Cancer Matters to Us
Alra’s very first product was designed to soothe the skin of women undergoing radiation therapy. We know the journey. We've walked it with our founders, our customers, and our community.
Caring for women during their most vulnerable time is not just a mission — it's our origin story.
That’s why our skincare is oncology-tested, fragrance-free, and designed for real skin under real stress. Every step of our research, formulation, and advocacy is built around one promise: To always be gentle, effective, and empowering.
Why does my skin feel dry, tight, or flaky during cancer treatment?
Why does my skin feel dry, tight, or flaky during cancer treatment?
Radiation and chemotherapy can damage your skin’s natural barrier, causing moisture loss and increased sensitivity.
To restore hydration and reduce flakiness, use fragrance-free, lipid-replenishing products like Alra Therapy Lotion, which contains lanolin and phytosterols to soothe and seal in moisture.
What can I do about red, itchy, or inflamed skin after treatment?
What can I do about red, itchy, or inflamed skin after treatment?
Inflammation is a common side effect of radiation and certain chemo drugs.
Gentle, non-irritating products with anti-inflammatory ingredients—such as aloe, olive leaf extract, or oat-based formulas—can help. Alra Therapy Lotion and Olive Therapy Serum are specifically formulated to calm irritation without causing further dryness.
Is it safe to use regular skincare during or after cancer treatment?
Is it safe to use regular skincare during or after cancer treatment?
Not always. Many conventional skincare products contain fragrances, alcohols, or preservatives that can irritate compromised skin.
Look for formulas that are fragrance-free, alcohol-free, sulfate-free, and clinically tested for sensitive or post-treatment skin. Alra’s entire line is designed with these standards in mind.
How should I cleanse my skin if I have burns or raw areas from radiation?
How should I cleanse my skin if I have burns or raw areas from radiation?
Use a soap that is gentle, non-foaming, and free of preservatives or artificial ingredients.
Our All Vegetable Unscented Mild Soap is a popular choice among oncology nurses and patients—it's ultra-mild and moisturizing, ideal for compromised skin.
Why am I experiencing rashes or acne-like breakouts during treatment?
Why am I experiencing rashes or acne-like breakouts during treatment?
Changes in hormones, immune function, and medications can trigger unexpected breakouts or rashes.
Avoid harsh exfoliants or acne treatments. Instead, use skin-calming solutions like our Olive Therapy Serum, which supports barrier recovery and reduces inflammation naturally.
Can I use Alra products while undergoing radiation or chemo?
Can I use Alra products while undergoing radiation or chemo?
Yes. Alra products were originally developed for cancer patients and are widely recommended in hospital care settings.
They’re safe for daily use during treatment—but always consult your care provider for individual guidance.
