Powerful natural skincare – straight from the comfrey leaf.
Our bestselling Comfrey Cream and Comfrey Oil are handmade in small batches in North Yorkshire, using traditional methods that preserve the full potency of Symphytum officinale – commonly known as comfrey or knitbone.
Used for centuries in herbal remedies, comfrey is well-known for its traditional role in supporting skin repair, easing joint stiffness, and nourishing tired muscles. Our natural comfrey salve and oil are made by infusing fresh comfrey leaf into high-quality sunflower oil, blended with beeswax, sweet almond oil, and vitamin E to create a rich, skin-softening balm and deeply penetrating herbal oil.
🌿 Why Our Comfrey Oil is Made from Leaves Only — Not Roots
At Herbalshire, we craft our Comfrey Oil using only the leaves of the comfrey plant, never the roots. Why? It’s all about safety and superior skincare. While both parts of the plant contain beneficial compounds like allantoin—a natural substance that helps support skin repair and regeneration—the roots also contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). These compounds, when overused or absorbed in large amounts, have been linked to liver toxicity and are not recommended for long-term use or broken skin.
By using only the comfrey leaf, we deliver the healing benefits without the unnecessary risk. Leaf-infused oil is gentler, safer for regular topical use, and still packed with all the nourishing goodness your skin needs. Many commercial brands still use the root to cut corners—but we don’t compromise. Our infusion is slow, traditional, and pure.
You get the real deal: Effective, safe, and handmade in North Yorkshire—without shortcuts.
