In school environments, children are frequently exposed to injuries from play, sports, and everyday activities. Minor injuries like cuts, abrasions, scratches, bites, and burns are common and tend to affect the skin more than any other part of the body. Though often seen as insignificant, such injuries can impact a child’s well-being and, if neglected, may lead to infections and longer healing times. Addressing this common yet overlooked issue led to the creation of Dr. Magic — a natural, child-safe skin balm formulated to support quick recovery and skin protection.

Dr. Magic is a homemade, plant-based formulation developed with schoolchildren in mind. It blends Cassia alata, aloe vera, rice water, castor oil, and vitamin E, where each chosen for its well-documented therapeutic properties.

  • Cassia alata contributes antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions through its rich bioactive profile.
  • Aloe vera offers soothing, moisturizing, and regenerative benefits.
  • Rice water is known for its antioxidant and UV-protective qualities, improving skin tone and texture.
  • Castor oil locks in moisture and strengthens the skin barrier.
  • Vitamin E accelerates wound healing and reduces scarring.

These ingredients work together to create a gentle, nourishing balm that calms irritation, quickens healing, and protects against environmental damage.

Although each component is well-known in natural care, their combined topical use remains underexplored. Dr. Magic fills this gap by integrating traditional healing practices into a practical solution for everyday use in schools. Its low cost, simple preparation, and eco-friendly nature make it a practical alternative to synthetic, chemical-based creams, especially in resource-limited or environmentally aware settings

Ultimately, Dr. Magic promotes not only healthier skin but also improved attendance and well-being in schoolchildren, while fostering awareness of eco-friendly, nature-based solutions in healthcare.
