Finding accessible and affordable natural products that are medically tested treatment options for domestic burns must be a priority for developing countries. This should be accompanied by educational first aid strategies. This paper discusses the benefits of Curefini™ (Pure Source) ointment for burns. Curefini contains polyunsaturated fatty acids and beeswax with anti-inflammatory and tissue repair properties. The author reports a case of a woman with a second degree burn treated with a combined treatment of gauze impregnated with Curefini and PVC film. After 6 weeks of treatment, a complete recover in both elasticity and normal appeal of the skin was achieved. No contracture or scars were observed. This case highlights the restorative capacity of a product based on natural active ingredients, which managed to stimulate complete structural and functional recovery of the skin after a superficial second degree burn injury.
