Comfrey is a herb which has been found to have excellent anti-inflammatory properties and is healing for

• cuts,
• bruises,
• sprains,
• sores & minor skin conditions.

The comfrey to make this ointment is harvested by hand in a rural area of Aberdeenshire and macerated in organic sunflower oil.  The ointment is a luscious green colour from the herb and has a wonderful feel on skin. The combination of nourishing carrier oils and soothing lavender essential oil is completed by beeswax, which gives your skin protection - an added barrier against the harsh outside elements.

The ointment contains:

• beeswax,
• comfrey - root, flower and leaf,
• sunflower & wheatgerm oils,
• essential oils of lavender (lavandula angustifolia),
• natural preservative - benzoin gum tincture 

All ingredients organic except the natural preservative. 

Available in 15ml, 30ml and 60ml sizes
