ALISO VIEJO, Calif. — Scar and stretch mark product maker Bio-Oil announced Monday that they have launched a campaign to raise money for burn survivors and benefit burn injury nonprofit, the Phoenix Society. 

The company has made a documentary profiling burn survivors and posted it to the Bio-Oil Facebook page. Every time the video is shared, the company will donate $1 to the Phoenix Society up to $25,000, to be presented at the organization’s World Burn Congress on Oct. 21.

The video profiles five burn survivors and their stories, as well as the difficulty of their recovery, both physical and emotional — something that more than 486,000 people treated for burn injuries every year face. The video is embedded above.
