I had a burn with cooking oil and thanks too the burnshield product used as per instruction, it worked wonders, it really saved me a lot of pain and treatments. I can honestly recommend that every house needs to have this product in or near the kitchen for simular situations. I used the Burnsield 200 x 200 sponge pad on a serious burn on 10% of my hand and forearm.

Burnshield saved the day.

Our electricity was off and we were in a hurry so I decided to quickly boil a kettle and wash my 2 year old, I just turned my back and my son pulled on the cord and the hot water fell over and splashed in his face. I grabbed my burnshield and immediately applied it every hour. The burn was gone the next day and my son had no leftover mark thanks to Burnshield.

Burnsshield is great

Burnsshield is great. I work as a field worker - mostly in the sun. The product helps me a lot with prevention of sunburn. I experienced sunburn last year whereby my skin on my face and arms were peeling. It helped to repair my skin.

Sunburn and scalding with fat relief! My daughter walked into the "skottel…

My daughter was still young years ago, walked into the "skottel braai" and hot fat scalded her arm and neck. Luckily, I had Burn-Shield in the fridge and could apply it. No blisters occurred on the skin and over time, the marks disappeared. Recently (2/1/2025), my grandson had severe sun-burn, despite apply sun tan lotion repeatedly. Again, the Burn-Shield I had in my fridge came to the rescue. Not only did it cool his back almost immediately, but also relieved the pain and removed the redness. What an amazing product! I always ensure that I have a packet of Burnshield at home and in the caravans's fridge ready for use in any eventuality.

Perfect for Parents

As a parent, I have found Burnshield to be an incredibly reliable and effective product. We do not leave home without it. The security it provides to our family is brilliant. The reassurance we get from having Burnshield on hand, when travelling and in our first aid kits, is priceless.

Burnshield Hydrogel Dressing is PERFECTION 👌🏻

December I burned my arm again my element of my oven while making Steak and Kidney Pies for supper. I was in SEVERE pain. I put Burnshield Hydrogel Dressing on my wound. This unique versatile foam dressing which provides essential immediate treatment and protection within the first critical 24 hours, following a burn. This burn dressing is saturated with a sterile, water-based gel which is non-toxic, non-irritant and does not contain any fats or greases. It moisturises the burn area, and soothing tea-tree oils cools the skin there by minimising trauma or tissue damage. Burnshield Hydrogel Dressing is non-adhesive and can be removed with cool water or saline solution without causing discomfort. The Burnshield worked instantly with such a relief of the heat and pain.

I love that it can be used on 1st, 2nd or 3rd degree burns. I 💯% RECOMMEND IT. I'm also not left with a ugly Scar. It happend to me a while back to - I then didn't know about Burnshield and my burn took so long to heal, was in so much pain and was left with a ugly Scar.
