Comfrey ointment is made from four natural ingredients known for their nourishing and regenerating effect on the skin. Allantoin from comfrey root contributes to skin renewal and softness, and alongside it come amino acids, minerals (calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, sulfur, copper, zinc, selenium, germanium) and vitamins (A, C, B complex including the rare B-12). The ointment is intended for body care and can be used every day, just as our grandmothers used comfrey.
What comfrey ointment is used for
- Massaging tired muscles: after a workout, gardening or a long day on your feet.
- Dry, cracked skin: elbows, knees, heels and hands.
- Evening care routine: a tradition our grandmothers knew well.
A little goes a long way: the rich texture spreads and absorbs easily, so a 100 ml pack lasts a long time.
Only four ingredients, nothing more
Our comfrey ointment is made by hand, in small batches, from just four carefully chosen ingredients:
- Comfrey root macerate (Symphytum officinale): the heart of this ointment and a natural source of allantoin
- Sunflower oil (Helianthus annuus): softens the skin and spreads the comfrey extract evenly
- Beeswax (Cera alba): forms a protective layer on the skin and gives the ointment its firmness
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol): a natural antioxidant
INCI: Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Symphytum Officinale Root Extract, Cera Alba, Tocopherol.
No water, no preservatives and no artificial fragrance, which is why the texture is rich and a small amount lasts a long time.
Storage
In a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Because of the beeswax, the texture is a little softer in summer and firmer in winter; that is a sign of a natural formulation, not a flaw.
Frequently asked questions about comfrey ointment
What is comfrey ointment most often used for?
Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) is a plant with a long tradition in skincare. Our customers most often use it to massage tired muscles after sport or physical work, and to care for dry, cracked and mature skin. Read more about the plant itself and its tradition in our guide Comfrey ointment: a natural elixir.
How often can I use it?
The ointment is suitable for daily use, two to three times a day. A little is enough: the rich texture spreads and absorbs easily.
Comfrey ointment or comfrey gel: what is the difference?
The ointment is water-free, based on oil and beeswax, so it is richer and stays on the skin longer, which makes it suitable for massage and very dry skin. A gel is a water-based formula that absorbs faster. We make the ointment.
Is the ointment completely natural?
Yes. It contains only four ingredients: comfrey macerate, sunflower oil, beeswax and vitamin E. No water, preservatives, perfume or colorants.
Can comfrey ointment be used on the face?
The ointment is intended for body care. For the face we have products suited to the more sensitive skin of the face.
