A composition for treatment of burned or irritated skin. The composition includes an anesthetic component comprising lidocaine, an anti-inflammatory component comprising hydrocortisone, an emollient comprising aloe vera, and a pharmaceutically acceptable base. The resulting composition has a cream like consistency. Upon application to the skin, there is no slimy or sticky residue, but the composition becomes nearly dry to the touch. It exhibits a smooth, silk like feel once applied. When applied to an area of burned or irritated skin, the pain immediately subsides, and in the case of sunburn, there is a noticeable tendency for the composition to reduce or eliminate peeling of the skin as the sunburn heals.
