It's a combination that might sound strange: loofah and horse oil! But believe it or not, the pairing contained in the Hechima Cocochi Loofah Horse Oil Cream is not some crazy idea conceived by a contemporary cosmetic designer: it's a modern implementation, for sure, but of an approach that goes back centuries. Horse oil has been used as skin treatment in Japan since the Nara period (710-794) and the liquid extracted from loofah seeds was known as "beauty water" even during the Edo period (1600-1868). So the Hechima Cocochi Loofah Horse Oil Cream is essentially a crash course in the history of Japanese cosmetics!
But it isn't just about tradition: we now know that horse oil is rich in vitamin E and loofah seed oil contains linoleic acid and oleic acid, two essential fatty acids with anti-inflammatory and nutritional properties. Their combination moisturizes the skin and makes it smoother and healthier. And if you are worried about the components, every 52 ml (1.8 fl oz) bottle of Hechima Cocochi Loofah Horse Oil Cream contains only pure horse oil and loofah seed oil. making it ideal for any type of skin, even that of babies and the elderly!
