Reviews
In 1908, the British Medical Journal investigated the advertising of nostrums for the treatment of skin diseases. As reported by the American Medical Association{{cite book it was implied that Cuticura soap could be effective in the treatment of syphilis when prepared as an internal remedy known as Cuticura Resolvent. The medical community considered the proposed remedy to contain insufficient potassium iodide to be effective in the treatment of the disease.
In 1914, Good Housekeeping ran an analysis of a large number of household products including Cuticura soap. They concluded that Cuticura was, :"A good grade of soap containing a small quantity of prussian blue and probably a little phenol. Prussian blue has been recommended for skin diseases. Excessive claims made for Cuticura as to the prevention and treatment of skin eruptions, are not warranted by its composition."{{cite book
