Ouch Ointment Comfrey Salve

Ouch Ointment is a natural, plant-based comfrey salve used to support skin healing for minor cuts, scrapes, burns, bruises, bug bites, bee stings, cracked skin, sore muscles, and nerve irritation. Made with slow-infused comfrey leaf, calendula, arnica, St. John's Wort, and blue chamomile in organic olive oil and beeswax, it contains no petroleum, synthetic antibiotics, or synthetic preservatives, making it a clean botanical alternative to conventional first-aid ointments.

Yes, with one important distinction. Most commercial comfrey products use Symphytum officinale, a variety higher in pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). MoonMaid uses Symphytum tuberosum tuberous comfrey, a naturally low-PA variety that delivers the same traditional skin-healing benefits with a significantly better safety profile for topical use. Ouch Ointment is appropriate for use on intact skin by adults, children, and those with sensitive skin.

Conventional antiseptic ointments use petroleum as a base, synthetic antibiotics such as neomycin, and chemical preservatives. Ouch Ointment uses none of these. Instead, it relies on six certified organic botanicals, comfrey, calendula, arnica, St. John's Wort, blue chamomile, and olive oil, to support the skin's natural healing process without a single synthetic ingredient. It allows the skin to breathe, doesn't sting, and is free from allergens commonly found in conventional ointments like neomycin.

Yes, for mild burns, minor heat contact, sunburn, and red or peeling skin. The blue chamomile and calendula in the formula help soothe hot, inflamed skin and support recovery. Ouch Ointment is not recommended for open blisters or severe burns, which require medical attention.

Yes. Ouch Ointment is excellent for mosquito bites, bee stings (remove stinger first), garden rash, and itchy welts.
