Frequently Asked Questions
What is horse placenta extract and why is it used in skincare?
Horse placenta (equine placenta) is rich in over 100 biologically active compounds including amino acids, growth factors, mucopolysaccharides, vitamins, and enzymes. In Japanese aesthetic medicine, placenta extract has been used for decades in both topical and injectable formulations to support skin metabolism, cellular renewal, and moisture retention. Melsmon Pharmaceutical has been producing pharmaceutical-grade placenta extracts since 1956.
Is Melsmon soap suitable for sensitive skin?
Melsmon soap is generally marketed as a moisturising, gentle-cleansing bar. However, because it contains biological placenta extracts (which are protein-rich), individuals with known protein sensitivities or sensitive skin should patch-test before full use. If any irritation occurs, discontinue immediately.
Does Melsmon soap lather well?
Yes — Melsmon soap produces a rich, creamy lather typical of quality Japanese facial soap bars. Japanese facial soaps are formulated to create dense, cushioning foam that cleanses effectively while feeling gentle and non-stripping on skin.
Can I use this soap as my only anti-aging product?
Melsmon soap is a cleanser and provides benefits primarily during washing. For sustained anti-aging effects, it is best used as part of a complete routine that includes serums, moisturisers, and SPF. Consider pairing it with Melsmon's other placenta-based products or anti-aging serums from our Japanese Anti-Aging collection.
Is the placenta in Melsmon products from horses or humans?
Melsmon offers different product lines with different placenta sources. Their famous pharmaceutical injection (Melsmon Injection) uses human placenta extract under medical regulation. Their cosmetic and supplement range — including soaps and topical products — uses horse (equine) placenta extract. The soap in this listing is from the cosmetic line featuring horse placenta.
