Horse oil has been used in Japanese folk medicine for centuries for its exceptional skin-compatibility: its fatty acid profile is closer to human skin lipids than many plant oils, allowing it to penetrate readily, seal in moisture, and support the skin barrier without occlusion. The Sonbahyu Unscented formula is completely additive-free — no fragrance, no colorant, no preservative, no mineral oil — making it suitable even for the most sensitive skin, including infants.

We have been operating from Kobe since 2015. You will always receive exactly what is shown and described — never a parallel import, grey-market repackage, or counterfeit item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is horse oil and how is it made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUma-Abura (馬油) is oil rendered from horse fat — primarily from the mane and withers areas of domestically raised Japanese horses. The fat is refined using a vacuum steam extraction process to remove impurities and microorganisms while preserving the natural fatty acid composition. The result is a clean, white-to-pale cream at room temperature, transitioning to a liquid as it warms. Sonbahyu sources all horse fat from within Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs horse oil really better than plant oils for skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot \"better\" in a universal sense, but uniquely suited for certain purposes. Horse oil's fatty acid profile — high oleic acid, with a good balance of saturated fats — closely resembles human skin lipids (sebum), which contributes to its rapid absorption and effective barrier restoration. Plant oils like camellia, jojoba, or rosehip may be preferred for their antioxidants, specific fatty acid ratios, or for vegans. Horse oil excels for intensive dry-skin treatment and its single-ingredient simplicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Sonbahyu on my face, including around the eyes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — horse oil has traditionally been used on the face and around the eye area in Japan. Apply a tiny amount (a drop or less) warmed on the fingertip and pat gently around the outer eye contour. Avoid direct contact with the eye itself. Its simplicity (no fragrance, no preservative) makes it well tolerated around the eye area for most people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this product safe for babies and young children?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonbahyu is widely referenced in Japan as baby-safe and is commonly used by Japanese parents for infant dry skin, diaper rash-adjacent dryness, and general moisturising. Its single-ingredient, additive-free formula makes it one of the most minimal skincare options available. That said, as with any product, patch-test on a small area first and consult a paediatrician if the infant has a known skin condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Sonbahyu horse oil halal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the majority Sunni jurisprudential opinion, horse meat (and therefore horse-derived products) is permissible (halal) — this is the position of the Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali schools, and also accepted by most Hanafi scholars outside Central Asia. However, some regional scholarly opinions differ. Sonbahyu does not carry a formal halal certification. We recommend consulting your local religious authority if you require a definitive ruling for your specific madhab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 70 ml listed doesn't match the 70 ml I see elsewhere — which is correct?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonbahyu's most widely distributed standard size is 70 ml. The discrepancy between the 70 ml listed here and 70 ml found elsewhere may reflect a variant (multi-pack or bundle), a size update, or a listing inaccuracy. We have flagged this internally for verification.
