{"product_id":"apothecary_balm","title":"APOTHECARY balm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the \"Balm\" from the FOOD FOR THOUGHT APOTHECARY series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis balm was actually a horse oil-based balm that was sold in small quantities at the atelier during FOOD FOR THOUGHT director Yuko Watanabe's cooking classes, and it received enthusiastic support from her students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis balm is carefully made in Aso, Kumamoto Prefecture, using only 100% locally sourced horse oil from Kumamoto, taking a significant amount of time to produce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatanabe always uses this balm for burns that are common in cooking, and she highly recommends it, saying, \"It's incredibly effective!\" Horse oil has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, and it is known to soothe heat. 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. Our long-cherished wish has finally come true, and it is now available for purchase in our online shop!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe will continue to offer it as a standard product, so you can repurchase it, and it also makes a great gift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe want all products handled by APOTHECARY to be used regularly in daily life.
