Organic Comfrey Extract – Supporting Skin Regeneration and Comfort for the Skin
Comfrey Extract is a reference botanical ingredient in the care of stressed skin, obtained by macerating Symphytum officinale leaves in a vegetable glycerin base. This plant is famous in traditional phytotherapy for the natural presence of allantoin and mucilages, compounds that work in synergy to provide the skin with a protective barrier and essential support in the revitalization process. This certified organic extract is ideal for formulations intended for rough, cracked skin or skin exposed to harsh environmental factors, contributing to the restoration of the epidermis's softness and healthy appearance.
