A 14-year-old Annandale, Virginia boy has created a soap that may help treat cancer, and for that, he has won a highly sought-after award in the scientific community.

Reportedly, while still in middle school, W.T. Woodson High School student Heman Beleke, a ninth grader, entered the 3M Young Scientist Challenge.

Heman advanced to the contest’s final round and defeated nine other contestants to win the $25,000 cash prize and recognition among those who identify as science enthusiasts.

Remarkably, this bright young man apparently developed a rudimentary prototype and came up with his award-winning soap in just eight months.

Heman now states that he wants to establish a non-profit organization in order to raise funds so that people in need of his soap can obtain it.

The product that Helman is referring to as ‘melanoma treating soap’ is called M.T.S. and is composed of tretinoin, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid.

‘[They’re] all keratolytic agents that reactivate dendritic cells slowly,’ Heman explains in his 3M Young Scientist Challenge entry video.

When confronted with invasive infections, dendritic cells are known to strengthen immune responses and aid in skin protection.

Heman’s soap is made for just 50 cents a bar, according to the Daily Mail, so everyone who might benefit from it, regardless of financial circumstances, should be able to afford it.

Heman said to Fox News after winning, ‘It’s so crazy, it’s so surreal to even think about it right now!’

‘I think the hardest part was making the first prototype.’

The inspirational young man also disclosed that one of his career goals is to become an electrical engineer.

He said, ‘[I hope to be a] successful electrical engineer who has made significant contributions to the industry.’

‘I see myself heading a group of experts in the creation of cutting-edge electrical systems that will influence technology in the future.’
