I know I read about a cream sold here but not in US. Used for bite stings and faces actually. All I remember is it starts with B. anyone know?

That sounds like the Biofine I just purchased and applied to my sunburn, it worked wonders and took the sting away in minutes. Available at Maho Pharmacy for sure, but probably any good sized drugstore here on the island.

I just posted this in another thread - the product is Biafine and it's pretty awesome stuff based on the way my feet and shins felt yesterday without it as compared to how good they feel today with it. As suggested, I got it at the Maho Pharmacy and pad $12.95 for a good sized tube. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

Hubby got a bad burn due to a grill tipping over this past March. A friend told us to try this cream. It worked great. Got it in the pharmacy in Orleans. It was €7.90 which came to about $9.00.

It is fantastic. We had friends with us last year and they were there for the first time. He didn't believe us how the sun was and he got a really bad burn. We gave him the Biofine and the burn was gone the next day. We have been using it for over 30 years and buy a tube every year to bring home with us. It is cheaper on the French side down the road from Dreams <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/usflag.gif" alt="" />

Just to clarify for everyone posting on this thread, it was originally started 2.5 years ago. Some of the information, especially with regards to prices and availability, may be way out of date.
Regarding Biafine, I purchased some for a friend a year or two ago and was able to find it in Simpson Bay after being told it was ONLY available on the French side.
It is good to see that someone must have used the "search" option.

Here is a mail order link. From what I recall, it was less than $30 per tube when I last bought some for the friend.
