NatureByFeathers Organic Comfrey Ointment 70g

NatureByFeathers Organic Comfrey Ointment 70g

Traditionally, comfrey has been used in herbal medicine to promote healing and soothe the skin. The comfrey plant contains allantoin, a compound believed to have tissue-healing properties.

Our Comfrey mix has primary ingredients of Almond oil, Comfrey, beeswax and lavender oil.  These ingredients all work to assist in the healing process.  Almond oil is known to have healing properties of Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Zinc perfect for skin care and massage. Beeswax is used here as a stiffening agent but is also considered to have anti-fungal properties and pain reduction and can create a protective layer on the skin. Lavender oil is believed to have muscle relaxant properties & also acts as an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory to aid with healing the skin.

The ointment is prepared to have a consistency perfect for massage.

The ointment is NOT cream based and has an expected one-year shelf life if kept out of sunlight in a cool dry place.

We use sterilised equipment and ensure containers are wiped down with an alcohol wipe before packaging.

We may use re-purposed packaging materials that can be re-cycled. We ask you dispose of the packaging by re-using or placing in the appropriate re-cycling bin. The glass jar and lid are all re-cyclable.  The peanut packing is compostable.  The polyfoam inserts are environmentally friendly, they can go in the re-cycle bin.
