Well - I also used Dove (unscented) as instructed. I am still here almost 4 yrs later.

Also, I believe that the TiO2 washes away as it is soluble in the soap which emulsifies with the water.

I would not be concerned with this. As an ointment, maybe as they don't want ointments of any kind except after the rad treatment.

Rest easy
