Product Description

Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotic Magoroku Skin Lotion™ merges the revitalizing powers of natural ingredients, ancient Japanese fermentation skills, and modern science to create a superior moisturizing and rejuvenating experience. This exclusive formula, created by award-winning microbiologist Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira, melds probiotic and prebiotic nutrients along with wild plant and fruit extracts. The proprietary blend supports the balanced ecology necessary for healthy skin. Your skin easily absorbs the natural ingredients, which are carried by the traditional skin-friendly Japanese Magoroku (equine oil). Modern science now confirms that Dr. Ohhira’s Magoroku oil contains alpha-linolenic acids and linoleic acids that cannot be produced in the body. Our Magoroku product is a soothing lotion ideal for daily use on very dry and sensitive skin. It may be applied as often as needed on face and body, wherever dry skin is an issue. Used regularly, Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotic Magoroku Skin Lotion™ promotes and maintains healthy, radiant-looking skin … naturally! Synergistic Ingredients: Traditional Japanese Magoroku (equine oil) + vegetable extracts (peach leaf, loquat leaf, and Aloe vera) + Dr. Ohhira's probiotic extract for moisturizing rejuvenation.

1.0 out of 5 stars FYI, "equine oil" = horse fat, September 26, 2010

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).

I saw this company advertised on a vegan's website, of all places, and was planning to try their products when I read the below review. I spoke directly with the company and the moisturizer does in fact contain a by-product of horse meat. They are currently formulating a vegan alternative. Personally, I don't want to support a company that uses dead horses in any of it's products and it's very clear the only reason they are coming out with a vegan alternative is that they are motivated by economic gain, not because they genuinely care about animal welfare.

5.0 out of 5 stars this stuff is awesome, January 3, 2012

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".
