What Is Comfrey Root Glycerin Extract?
Comfrey Root Glycerin Extract is a topical glycerin extract of Symphytum officinale root carried in vegetable glycerin derived from RSPO-certified palm oil, a water-compatible humectant carrier. Bio-Botanica supplies this alcohol-free comfrey root ingredient to personal-care formulators as a full-spectrum extract, non-standardized. Comfrey root delivers naturally occurring constituents including allantoin and mucilage long associated with topical botanical care.
Market Demand
According to Fortune Business Insights, botanical extracts represented a USD 6.91 billion market in 2025 and are forecast to expand at a 10.15% CAGR toward USD 16.34 billion by 2034. Glycerin-based, alcohol-free actives are a fast-growing slice of that space as brands court humectant-rich formulas, positioning comfrey root glycerin extract for wide cosmetic use.
Formulation Applications
Because it is glycerin-based and alcohol-free, this root glycerin extract works in the water phase of hydrating serums, essences, masks, toners, cleansers and leave-on scalp treatments, and in formats marketed as alcohol-free. Its humectant carrier is compatible with other water-phase actives. Brands can position it around skin, scalp and hair care and traditional comfrey heritage, never as a remedy.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Bio-Botanica, family-owned since 1972 and based in Hauppauge, New York, extracts this comfrey root in RSPO-derived glycerin at an FDA-inspected cGMP facility using the Bio-Chelated low-heat method for a Holistically Balanced result. Our onsite quality lab runs identity, microbial and heavy-metal testing on instrumentation including LC/MS and ICP/MS, and Kosher, Halal and Organic certification is available on request.
