I have tried and tried but that no longer seems to be available...not in any store I have looked. One thing that I found helpful is honey. For years I earned my living as a Housekeeper/Cook. Lots of Burns come with that job:)...I must have just read about honey healing burns because when I touched the hot oven rack with the skin of my arm...it burned badly..and I automatically reached for the honey and poured it over my arm. At first I thought I had made a bad decision because the pain became worse..quite a bit worse. But in a minute it began to subside and cooled and I never scarred from a burn that really should have left a doozy. Healed beautifully.
