What if soap not only cleaned, pampered and scented your body, but also helped to wipe away breast cancer?

Bath and body care store Lather has teamed up with soap opera actress Andrea Evans – who recently returned to “One Life to Live” as Tina – to create a skin-soothing Sandalwood Rose Soap ($8) and a Soap for Hope Gift Set (two bars of soap and a natural wood soap dish, $20).

Part of the proceeds – $5 from the sale of each soap, $12 from the sale of each set – will go to City of Hope, an independent cancer research, treatment and education center.

Andrea, whose mother is a breast cancer survivor, will make a personal appearance at the store in Kierland Commons shopping center noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday. She’ll greet fans, introduce the products and encourage shoppers to pick up registration forms for the Walk for Hope to Cure Breast Cancer, which is Oct. 5.

The store – 15211 N. Kierland Blvd., Phoenix – will serve pink snacks and drinks in honor of the pink ribbon that symbolizes the fight against breast cancer. Information: (480) 483-6633.
