 Great moisturizerMar 28, 2012
By Aminah J
This product is great. It moisturizes my skin and leaves it very soft. It helps smooth away rough spots from eczema. I went on a probiotic spree when I thought my eczema attack was a candida skin infection. This was one of the items I bought. Even though I only had an eczema break-out, this product is still in use today because it's so awesome. It does what it says it's going to do.
As for those who rated this product lower based on the fact that it has an ingredient that may or may not be derived from horses, if you were that concerned with what goes in and on your body, you would research any unfamiliar ingredients to make sure they adhere to your standards before purchasing the product. I almost didn't buy this product because of the bad ratings, but after reading the reasons for the bad reviews, I laughed. It's not Dr. Ohhira's fault, even if the item claimed to be vegan, still do your research. This probably won't be the last time you put something on your body that you don't like. And if the product does what it says it's supposed to do, why rate it lower? Just inform others without taking from it's potential to sell to those who actually need it.
Great moisturizer!

You Can NOT Argue with Beautiful Results!Nov 28, 2011
By Doro
I highly recommend this product!!! I received a few samples of this skin lotion and I tried it. It is actually thicker than a lotion and a very small amount goes a l-o-n-g way! I am post menopausal and on some days you could see the dryness of the skin on my face and neck. It looked like the bottom of a dry riverbed. Also,my skin is sensitive to most skin lotions. The Magoroku Skin Lotion does an amazing feat of retaining moisture. After applying a very small amount of Magoroku an amazing transformation seems to take place. My skin is visibly different and the softness is like a babies bottom. People have commented about how lovely my skin is....
I did read the ingredients and puzzled over the use of horse oil but I am not a chemist. The packaging explains that the oil is high in essential fatty acids (something American's are deficient in). I have looked up all the product ingredients and I feel good about using this formula. (It is interesting to note that there are things much worse than horse oil that people put on their skin that are harmful and toxic...products that are expensive and make all sorts of claims that I would not or could not use). But, Magoroku is different!! The ingredients such as probiotics and aloe are exceptionally healthful and are at the top of the ingredient list.
I highly recommend this product. I have had the best results of all the "natural" products I have tried. There is no burning or sensitivity and my skin responds beautifully, looking well hydrated and healthy. It truly does nourish and condition my dry, sensitive skin. I am a Natural Health Professional and this product has my endorsement. Give it a try....

 FYI, "equine oil" = horse fatSep 26, 2010
By red rocks!
i have bought this exact product (through a different vendor) but wanted to send it back after reading the ingredient label that came on the actual tube, which alerted me to the fact that it was made with horse fat. i didn't want any animal products in my moisturizer, especially an ingredient that requires the animal be dead. yes, equine = related to horses, but it could mean it's *for* horses (like mane n tail shampoo and conditioner products that were created for horses but are now sold for human use, too) not necessarily *from* horses. baby oil isn't from babies... so i think the product could be more upfront in its labeling, because most english-speakers won't be expecting animal fat in their lotion (perhaps magoroku = horse fat in japanese, i don't know). if you're ok with this ingredient, this may be a product that you are very happy with. i just think everyone should know what they're buying before they buy it (my vendor did NOT allow me to return it).
this stuff is awesomeJan 03, 2012
By S.L.
This skin cream works incredibly well. It moisturizes my skin even if it's really dry, and keeps working for hours beyond any other lotion. In case "Equine Oil" isn't an obvious enough terminology for you, it means there IS oil from a horse or a related animal, in the equine family. If you're vegan, you may not want it. The stuff works, though. It seems to repair dried-out areas and leaves my skin with a nice, dewy look for a while. It's also quite soothing, not painful to put on a raw area like some lotions. It's a skin-saver in the winter. If the animal product is an issue, you may want to research your current soap, lotion, and make-up ingredients. It is quite common to use animal fats in these products, and has been for a long time; a lot of products are going to contain such ingredients unless marked "vegan".

 Upcoming New Vegan FormulationMar 25, 2011
By Penny
I tried this product and loved it...then I read the reviews and was very disappointed to learn that there is equine (horse) oil in it, even though it is listed last in the ingredients, so it's a small quantity. I don't think I can put it on my face again, though.
The good news is that I contacted Essential Formulas, and they said they are making an additional formulation (vegan) for distribution in the United States that will contain shea nut butter instead of the horse emollient. They are hoping that this new product will be available in June 2011.
