Sunburn is caused by both infrared and ultraviolet energy from the sun. Infra-red has long waves and goes deeper into the skin. So it take a little more time to heal. Also makes blisters while the skin tries to repair itself. Sunburn is a little different than a burn from a hot object. Sunburn is caused by both infrared and ultraviolet energy from the sun.

It works really well at cooling a sunburn and it has lidocaine in it...more than the benzocaine that is in Solarcaine or Dermoplast. I'm using Water Gel now...because I got badly burned yesterday. It's helping some but my burn is second degree...I will need some silver sulfadiazine for that since a second degree burn is much more prone to infection. You can find Water Gel in the first aid section of any drug store. I highly recommend it. EMT It might help some but a better alternative is Water Gel.

It sounds like something that reduces sensations of the outer layers of skin. Analgesic I believe is the term. It's a general remedy. Yes.
