Therefore, it has been used since ancient times as a folk remedy for wounds, skin irritations, sunburns, and burns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course, it can be safely used all over the body for moisturizing the face and body, or for hair styling. Horse oil has strong penetrating power and is very similar in nature to human sebum. When applied and spread, it quickly penetrates the stratum corneum, leaving the skin smooth and dry in a short time. The skin will retain plenty of oil inside, ensuring long-lasting moisture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHorse oil is not a mineral oil and is completely harmless, so it is also prescribed as a treatment for atopic dermatitis and acne. FOOD FOR THOUGHT's balm is a gentle product that generously uses such horse oil and adds beeswax. It can be used safely by babies, children, and those with sensitive skin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany students who had experienced its benefits in the classroom expressed their desire for it to be sold.

Mass-produced items you see in drugstores are basically machine-kneaded. These are made by mixing ingredients with a machine, then compressing and molding them, allowing for quick production. While they are inexpensive, look good, and lather well, they also soften quickly in water. The strong alkalinity can leave some people's skin feeling tight or tingly. Those with sensitive skin, babies, or people with atopic dermatitis may hesitate to use them due to their harshness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast, FOOD FOR THOUGHT APOTHECARY soap is made by frame kneading. In this method, liquid ingredients are poured into a frame, cooled, solidified, and then cut. After that, they are dried and aged for several months to harden. This makes the soap less likely to soften even when left in a humid bathroom, maintaining its solid state. The long curing period neutralizes the alkalinity, and the generous amount of horse oil used leaves the skin feeling moist and gentle after washing, without tightness or tingling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's safe even for babies and people with atopic dermatitis. A FOOD FOR THOUGHT staff member reportedly uses this soap to wash everything from their baby's body to their hair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHorse oil has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, and is known to reduce heat.
