I started making comfrey cream after I saw the miraculous benefits it produced while working in Australia alongside a prominent naturopathic doctor, Barbara O’Neill. I fell in love with this herb and knew I needed to show the world what Comfrey had to offer them. Comfrey is a plant rich in calcium, potassium, protein, vitamins A, C and B12. This incredible plant also contains a naturally occurring chemical within its leaves called Allantoin, which helps in cell growth and bone strengthening while depressing inflammation. Due to its analgesic and anti- inflammatory properties, Comfrey is used in herbal medicines for sprains, joint stiffness, pain in the joints or muscles, and basic wound care. A common nickname given to the comfrey plant by the natives is “knit-bone.” 

Reports on the healing power of comfrey have been carefully documented in case studies -- complete with photos which shows comfrey's stimulated dramatic healing.  When infused into a salve, comfrey can be applied topically for a range of various ills ranging from minor wound care to arthritis.


Shronda from Louisiana raves, “I purchased a lavender comfrey cream and received a free sample for my daughter's skin. She had a liver splash spot that appeared on her neck a few months ago. Well, I just bought all of these thingsSundayat the strawberry festival.Mondaymorning, the spot on my daughter's neck was gone!! Amazing! We only applied the sample to the spot right there at the festival and it's already gone! Thank you!” The quality and simplicity of this product receives ample attention. There are few ingredients in our handcrafted, herbal salves and lotion bars -- all are organic and plant-based. Also, we do not heat our product —we cold infuse our herbs into the olive oil. This allows all the natural vitamins and nutrients to remain inside our creams.


This campaign is important to me, because it will allow my small business to expand and blossom to its full potential. The demand for our product is constant. We are currently located in several wholesale locations across the south with a few located in my hometown of Delaware. We are continuously restocking our shelves. In addition, we have sold 500+ units retail. With good reason, we are asking your help with our expansion. This funding will support our inventory demands and help launch our website.

Growth is viable with the proper business allocation of funds. Your support will help us at Genuinely Simple reach our objectives more quickly. We have distributed our campaign funding across the boards of marketing and inventory materials. This jump start will not only allow us to quickly meet inventory demands, but also allow us to build a comprehensive website that will eliminate current struggles! It is very difficult selling a product without a website.
