Back when I was working for the airlines, we used a burn salve called KIP
(Kip
Inc, North Hollywood CA) in both the airborne medicine chest and the hangar
toolboxes. It was distributed by an outfit called Swift Laboratories (also
in
NH CA).

It is the greatest thing since sliced bread and bottled beer for the usual
slashes and gashes we get bending wrenches on airplanes, but I'm down to the
last couple of squeezes out of this 40 year old tube of goop I've had all
those
years.



I cannot say what you had, but Paul Anton suggested Silvadene and I
agree that this is absolutely the best stuff around for burns:

It is a white cream, but it turns grey in the sun, due to the silver in
it.
