Echo html content of editor type field

Hi guys,

I’m getting the value of a editor type field and want to display it as html:

<?php $options = get_option( 'the_iron', array() );
$about = ( isset( $options['about_control'] ) ) ? $options['about_control'] : '';  ?>

<div class="about"><?php echo $about; ?></div>

The problem is the browser doesn’t render the html markup, it is echoing the raw string, i.e.:

I’ve already tried to encoed html strings with esc_html(), esc_textarea(), htmlentities(), but still not working, this scape functions still display raw string:

It’s look like a dumb question but can’t make it work.

I’ll be really appreciated if anyone can help me. Thanks.
