I noticed it said nothing about how this soap is supposed to work.

True. I'm certainly willing to assume that this is a smart,hard working kid. And it also seems possible to me that he stumbled upon something that reacts with a melanoma to give some kind of unique indication. If that's the case then his discovery could possibly be used as a diagnostic tool by dermatologists and oncologists.

But treatment? Seems unlikely.

Aren't Dravidians a language family from the same general area as the Aryans?

There is a smaller population of people in India from a very ancient migration along the coast. I believe they're related to the Melanesian's, Australasians and Aborigines.

The message is loud and clear. It’s not your skin color, it’s the content of your character.

And as an indictment of the overall post 60's US character, notice the dearth of one kind of skin color.

The final product came out to a shockingly cheap $0.50 per bar of soap –

Likely ending up as prescription only for $30.00 a bar, after spending a million or so for FDA approval. Be nice if he made the composition open source.

Companies in recent years have paid between $2.5 million and $3 million to have each drug application reviewed. - https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/pharma-fda-drugs-accelerated-approval-marginally-effective-expensive/

e median cost of bringing a new drug to market was $985 million, and the average cost was $1.3 billion. - https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/news/2020/average-cost-developing-new-drug-could-be-15-billion-less-pharmaceutical

His mentor works in the automotive aftermarket division, so maybe it’s their way of recycling used engine oil? Brake fluid? Coolant?
