According to a report by the Center for Disease Control, around 50% of adults 18-29 years had at least one sunburn in 2010 (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/pdf/wk/mm6118.pdf). In another study conducted by the CDC, two-thirds of adults reported that they had been burned more than once in the previous year (http://www.webmd.com/healthy-beauty/news/20070531/sunburns-up-which-state-is-worst).
No matter your type of activity, spending time outside in the sun without sunscreen leads to sunburns. BurnFree’s Medical Strength Sunburn Relief will cool the burn, relieve sunburn pain and stop the progress of the injury.
While conventional wisdom is to use aloe vera on sunburns, recent studies have found the effectiveness of aloe vera on sunburns to be inconclusive. (Burns. 2007 Sep;33(6):713-8. Epub 2007 May 17) (J Med Assoc Thai. 2005 Sep;88 Suppl 4:S173-6) Aloe vera can be drying to the skin. and does not provide the needed cooling relief.
BurnFree’s Medical Strength Sunburn Relief is thicker than BurnFree gel, making it more viscous. This means that the gel adheres to a sunburn rather than running off the wound, dissipating heat on contact. BurnFree does not evaporate, and cools through transference of the heat into the gel system.
BurnFree carries trace amounts of a natural extract called Melaleuca Alternifolia, or Tea Tree Oil. Used originally by the indigenous Bundjalung people of eastern Australia, it was believed that tea tree oil had natural anti-germicidal features, which helped to prevent infection and promote a healing environment.
Because BurnFree’s technologically-advanced hydrogel formula remains stable at a wide range of temperatures, it is ideal for use in the sun. Being portable, easy to use, completely water soluble, BurnFree is a must have for every family to minimize the effects of overexposure to the sun.
