Comfrey Infused in Sunflower Seed Oil, Otherwise known as Knitbone.
Botanical
Name: Symphytum
officinale, Helianthus Annus Seed Oil,
Description: The
Comfrey plant is long known for its healing properties. It helps
growth of new skin cells and helps to build the strength of
sensitive skin. This oil is produced by steeping Comfrey or Knitbone
as we used to know it in Sunflower oil before straining.
Comfrey
oil contains tannins, glycosides and is an excellent source of B12,
so very appropriate in creams for vegetarians and vegans who are
short of this essential vitamin. It also contains a vegetable protein
and is cell proliferant, rebuilding damaged cells.
Colour: Viscous pale yellow/green liquid
Common

is used externally to treat inflammation and stimulate bone fractures
It should not be used on open wounds.. It can help the regeneration
of skin. It has positive outcomes with acne, psoriasis or eczema.

Infused oil should not be used for cooking.
Do
not use Comfrey externally on new wounds or deep cuts because the
outer layers of skin will be stimulated by the comfrey to close and
heal the outer layers of skin before there is time to drain and
regenerate the deeper tissues.

recommend storing in a cool place after opening where we would expect a
shelf life of 24 months.
