About this Product
Comfrey, Symphytum officinale, salve.
I have carefully and lovingly grown my Comfrey in my herb gardens using organic methods. The leaves and flowers have been harvested from my gardens and infused in organic, non-GMO and cold pressed sunflower oil to make the comfrey oil and comfrey salve. The color of my prepared salve may differ a little in each batch, depending on my comfrey harvest preparation and the color of the natural beeswax added. My salves are handcrafted by me, for each very special customer, daily.
This listing is for one container of my Comfrey Salve. The one-ounce salve is in a screw top metal tin. The one-ounce tin measures approximately 1 7/8 inches across and 1 inch high.
My Comfrey Salve is available in unscented or scented variety. The natural herbal scent of comfrey is present in my unscented comfrey salve. The scented variety contains the added essential oils of lavender or a blend of tea tree and lavender. If another oil is desired, please let me know and I will work with you.
Note: Please check ingredients listed to make sure that you have no known sensitivity to them.
Ingredients: Organic Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seed oil, organically grown Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) leaves, & organic Beeswax (Cera alba).

Meet the Maker
Welcome and thank you for visiting my shop. My name is Gabrielle and I live in South Louisiana. In 2014 my husband and I built a new home with a special room called my soap room. Most of my day is spent here making my herbal salves and soaps. My daughter helps be package and ship my products to my customers. Other family members help me by saving their packaging materials which I happily recycle in my shipping boxes. Sometimes my grandchildren and great grandchildren help me by harvesting some of the herbs in my gardens which are used in my products.
This is a story which I would like to share:
With a love for God and nature, plus a fascination with herbs. and a desire to create natural herbal soap I began my dream. My husband, Herb, and I loved gardening and nature and started a pecan orchard and small herb nursery which we called Gabrielle Acres Farm.
In 2004, my husband, Herb, and I were vendors at our local farmer’s market when a customer lost control of her car and crashed into me as we sat at our booth. Years of quiet time and rehabilitation became a life-changing experience. Soapmaking would now become a reality. In 2008, I opened my Herbfriend's shop on Etsy! After that experience I had time to rethink my life. One of my dreams was to make handmade soap and to learn more about the herbs that I loved, those growing in my garden and those growing around in our natural environments. I had put those things on the "back burner" as I went along keeping busy each day; hoping, one day, to find time to do it. My husband, Herb, and four grown children, plus seventeen grandchildren are now wanting to use my products for their families. It is a nice complement and I love doing this. It is so much fun doing something that I enjoy and something that I had dreamed of doing. Now I make time for those special things! All of my products are made using natural ingredients, many are wild-crafted or certified organic. No artificial colors or scents are used in my body products, only natural oils, butters, herbs and essential oils. (It is with a heavy heart that I let my customers know that I lost my husband, Herb, in 2017. I give thanks for our little herb business (Gabrielle Acres) which helps give me the desire to get up each morning, I know Herb is watching me and smiling as I continue what we began together.)
Shop Policies
As the seasons change, my gardens rest and then begin to flourish. Each season, some of are resting, but other herbs begin to grow lavishly. I enjoy God’s gifts and continue to grow, harvest, and prepare those herbs for my salves, balms and soaps. Sometimes, some of my salves temporarily sell out, but I continually work to harvest and prepare more. My products are all hand made by me.
My processing time is usually between 1 to 3 days.
