Comfrey Leaf Powder (Symphytum officinale) is a finely milled botanical made from carefully dried comfrey leaves.

The powder format blends smoothly into pastes and oils, making it easy to work with for targeted applications.

It has a naturally mucilaginous feel that adds slip to rinse-off and balm-style projects.

A: Comfrey naturally contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which is why it is typically reserved for short, external applications. Q: What is the easiest way to strain an infused oil well? A: Use muslin or a fine filter and allow extra time for the oil to drip through, as leaf powders can hold liquid.

Q: Does the powder make a smoother paste than cut leaf? A: Yes. Powder mixes into an even, spreadable paste more easily than cut leaf.
