To solve this problem, companies developed many ointments for burns and scalds. But the commercial ointments are expensive. So the researcher opted to make a low-cost ointment from locally available materials.
This study was conceptualized to seek the affectivity of sabila as an ointment for burns and scalds. Aloe vera has always been considered a medicinal plant. This project aims to verify whether aloe has certain chemicals that cab inhibit bacterial growth. It also aims to find the correct of aloe vera to various supplementary chemicals to produce a stable ointment.

With results, the researcher concludes that sabila ointment is effective in treating burns and scalds.
