- What is horse oil and is it safe?
- It is refined fat from horses, used in Japan for centuries as a moisturizer. It is generally well tolerated, but anyone with sensitivities should patch test first.
- Is this cream greasy?
- Yes, noticeably. It is oil-rich and leaves a film for several minutes, so it suits night or winter use better than quick daytime application.
- Does it have a fragrance?
- Yes. It is a scented cream, so it is not a good pick if you avoid fragrance on your hands.
- Can I use it on my face?
- It is formulated as a hand cream and is heavy for facial skin. Most people use it on hands, elbows and other rough patches.
- How does it compare with a regular hand lotion?
- It is thicker and more occlusive than water-based lotions, so it lasts longer but absorbs more slowly. Light lotions suit frequent daytime use better.
- How much should I apply?
- A pea-sized amount covers both hands. More than that increases the greasy feel without adding much benefit.
- Where is the CosmetexRoland Loshi Moist Aid Japanese Horse Oil Hand Cream Q10 cheapest?
- At StyleVana, for $5.19, as of our latest check.
