Comfrey Extract (Bolise)

Comfrey extract by Bolise is derived from radix arnebiae seu lithospermi and is scientifically known as Symphytum officinale (L). Externally, comfrey leaves are extremely beneficial. The entire plant has long been thought to be beneficial for relieving pain in any painful, inflammatory, or suppurating area. It was once used as a sticky astringent on raw, indolent ulcers. Comfrey plant botanical preparations, as well as urine from cows and most mammals, contain allantoin. Bulk allantoin that has been chemically produced is nature-identical, safe, non-toxic, and compatible with cosmetic raw ingredients, as well as meeting CTFA and JSCI criteria. Allantoin is mentioned in over 10,000 patents. Allantoin as an active ingredient in over-the-counter cosmetics has a moisturizing and keratolytic effect, increasing the water content of the extracellular matrix and enhancing the desquamation of upper layers of dead skin cells, improving skin smoothness, and a soothing, anti-irritant, and skin protectant effect by forming complexes with irritant and sensitizing agents, according to manufacturers. Allantoin has not been scientifically shown to slow the aging process. Comfrey extract is kept cool and dry in sealed containers. It guards against light, moisture, and pest invasion. When properly stored, it has a shelf life of 24 months.
