Loshi Horse Oil Lotion 485ml Review: Can you use it on your face too?
30-second verdict
Loshi Horse Oil Moisturizing Lotion is a full-body lotion from Japan's Cosmetex Roland (Japanese name: ロッシモイストエイド 馬油ナチュラルミルクローション). It comes in a 485ml pump bottle for about NT$130. The maker's directions say to apply it to the face, hands, legs or any dry area, so it can go on your face. Its first ingredients are water, DPG and mineral oil, though, so patch-test first if you have combination or acne-prone skin.
Good for
- Dry hands and legs in seasonal changes, one big bottle the family can share, and anyone who likes a light lotion.
Not for
- Anyone who needs it fully fragrance-free or avoids mineral oil or parabens.

Cons
- － How well people take to the scent varies from person to person

Data updated:
When your shins start flaking and your hands get dry, a Loshi horse oil lotion review helps answer three questions: does it spread easily, how does it smell, and can it go on your face? This guide uses the maker's published ingredients and directions plus PTT and Dcard discussions.
Which product is this?
It is a clear pump bottle with a big yellow label printed with 馬油 (horse oil) and ナチュラルミルクローション, 485ml. Japanese drugstore sites give the origin as Japan, the maker as Cosmetex Roland, and JAN 4936201110223. Check the label and volume so you do not get the horse oil cream jar instead.
Ingredients
Published full ingredients: water, DPG, mineral oil, horse oil, arnica flower extract, St John's wort extract, ivy extract, horse chestnut seed extract, witch hazel leaf extract, grape leaf extract, Job's tears seed extract, carbomer, phenoxyethanol, hydroxyethylcellulose, methylparaben, potassium hydroxide, steareth-13, sorbitan sesquioleate, BG. The maker notes that color and scent may vary slightly because of the natural ingredients.
Texture and scent
The maker describes a light feel suited to all skin types. On PTT some find a faint oily scent and others barely notice one. No fragrance is listed, so test a little on your inner wrist if you are sensitive to scents.
Can you use it on your face?
The directions say yes. Because it contains mineral oil, dry and normal skin usually do fine, while oily or acne-prone users report mixed results. Test a small patch for a few days before using it on your whole face, or keep it for your body only.
Is the 485ml bottle good value?
At about NT$130 it works out to under NT$30 per 100ml. In Japan it sells for roughly ¥649 to ¥880. How long it lasts depends on how much you use and how many people share it.
When not to use it
The maker's cautions: do not use it on wounds, swelling or eczema; stop if redness, itching or irritation appears and see a dermatologist if it continues; keep it away from small children; and rinse your eyes right away if any gets in.
On arrival
Check for leaks, make sure the pump works, and confirm the volume and date on the label. Avoid direct sun and very hot or cold places. If it leaks or you got the wrong item, take photos and request a Shopee return.

FAQ
Is it strongly scented?
No fragrance is listed, and reviews are mixed. Test it first if you are sensitive.
Face and body?
The maker says yes; patch-test first if you have combination or acne-prone skin.
Is it sticky?
It is meant to feel light. Apply thinly and let it absorb.
Lotion vs. Loshi horse oil cream?
The lotion spreads over large areas; the cream is thicker and better for cracked spots.
