TermaBurn's innovative wearable hydrogels are designed to be applied directly to the skin and worn comfortably for 20 minutes to a few hours. It provides immediate cooling relief while helping restore hydration to sun-exposed skin—reducing the dryness that can lead to peeling.   Here are some of the reasons why Termaburn's hydrogels are a better alternative for sunburn care. 

What's the best way to manage sunburn? 

Managing a sunburn really comes down to a few key things:

1. Cool the skin as quickly as possible
2. Hydrate—both internally (fluids) and externally (on the skin)
3. Use soothing ingredients like aloe, antioxidants, and compounds known to support a calm skin environment

TermaBurn’s hydrogel approach checks all three boxes—without the mess of sticky gels, lotions, or questionable (possibly harmful) home remedies.

TermaBurn cools faster

The first step after a sunburn is to get out of the sun and cool the skin—quickly, but not with extreme cold. Ice can shock the skin and make things worse.

TermaBurn’s hydrogel cools skin faster than traditional gels or lotions (and definitely better than oils, which can trap heat). In testing, TermaBurn reduced skin temperature by 10% in under one minute—and maintained that lower temperature for as long as the hydrogel was worn, up to several hours.

TermaBurn hydrates better

Most gels and lotions evaporate within minutes. Once they dry, the benefit is gone.

TermaBurn stays on the skin for 20 minutes to several hours, continuously delivering hydration. In testing, a 45-minute application increased skin hydration by up to 156%. Even 24 hours later, skin still showed a 44% increase in hydration from a single use.

TermaBurn delivers ingredients that support skin recovery

TermaBurn's hydrogel provides a superior delivery system for ingredients known to help calm and hydrate the skin.

Aloe helps soothe stressed skin and is widely used in after-sun care. By using a concentrated extract, TermaBurn delivers a level of aloe comparable to applying the plant itself.

Vitamin E is a well-known antioxidant that helps support the skin’s natural barrier and retain moisture.

Green tea contains catechins—plant compounds known for their soothing properties—which can help reduce the look of redness and irritation.

Glycerin is a powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin, helping keep sunburned areas hydrated and more comfortable.

At the end of the day, managing a sunburn isn’t complicated—but doing it well makes all the difference. You need to cool the skin, keep it hydrated, and use ingredients that actually support comfort instead of drying things out further.

That’s exactly what TermaBurn was built to do. By combining sustained cooling, long-lasting hydration, and a clean, wearable format, it removes the guesswork (and the mess) from after-sun care.

Simply apply it, leave it on, and let it do the work—so your skin stays more comfortable and better hydrated when it needs it most.
