To even create skin you need to grow it as part of a similar mammal's body.
It cannot be grown just on it's own in a tank or something if you get me.
So no companies will do it, it would be far too complicated, it's unethical, can go wrong etc.
However, you can have skin grafts - they remove good layers of skin from other parts of your body, such as the tops of your thighs, and have it replace the missing skin over the burn scar.
Your thigh would be healthy enough to regenerate it's own skin, with minimal scarring.
It is not cloning, but cell-cultures are used widely in burn care.
