Sunburn occurs after exposure to ultraviolet light. Mild sunburn usually occurs a few hours after exposure as red skin, which eventually peels. Severe sunburn, however, results in extreme pain, swelling, and blistering a few days after excessive exposure, accompanied by fever, weakness, and symptoms of shock. The blisters are second-degree burns and may become infected. |

Why
does Pharm-Aloe®
Whole Leaf Aloe Vera work?
Probably best known as "the burn plant," Aloe Vera contains lignins which help it penetrate deeply into the skin to deliver its therapeutic effects. Aloe Vera is an effective pain reliever because it contains salicylic acid, the same pain killing agent found in aspirin. It also contains magnesium which helps prevent some of the damaging side effects of aspirin-type medications. Aloe Vera contains gibberlin and polysaccharides, which effectively decrease inflammation and promote healing. Two very important effects of Aloe Vera for burn sufferers are its ability to prevent blistering and its anti-scarring properties. |
