How is Horse Oil obtained?
Koreans eat horse meat and the fat is a byproduct. Someone somehow discovered that the fat under the horse mane, when made into oil, is just freaking awesome. The composition is similar to human skin so it absorbs seamlessly and can be used to heal eczema.
Where to buy Horse Oil Cream?
I got my jar from www.althea.kr, which shipped it over from Korea itself.
Ta-da! Can you believe even the cap is made from real wood?!
Comes with a safety cap so I haven't spilled any of my precious cream so far.
The moment I opened it I was hit in the face with the strong fragrance. It smells nice but maybe a tad too overpowering, eh? It does linger for about an hour and smells like I'm wearing perfume xD
The texture is super nice, like a light gel-cream. It spreads easily and disappears into my skin within a minute. Awesome! I do notice that my skin shines later on in the day, no matter how much I try to dab it away. Despite the shine, it does not feel oilier than usual. If you're going for the dewy Korean skin look, this should help ;)
Overall, my dry skin is totally loving it and I would recommend you to try it out.

is this horse oil better than the other more popular brand, ahh i can't remember the brand now. claire's?
ReplyDeleteAs I know, horse oil is quite famous in Japan, never know that Korea is coming out this kind of product as well.
ReplyDeleteDoes it make your face oily after 2-3 hours? Because for cream textured products I noticed that's what happens after awhile
