HORSE FAT?!?!
This is from the Kyoto Uji Matcha face mask, bought at DONKI. I have never seen this ingredient before. Please tell me this means something else 🙁

Why would beef tallow be fine but horse fat bad? It is what it says. As long as the product doesn’t claim to be vegan, there’s nothing wrong with it.
(I’m vegetarian, I wouldn’t use it, but I wouldn’t use stuff like beef tallow either. Cows are awesome!)
That’s where all the horse oil in skincare products come from. It’s supposedly extra moisturising.
Here’s the [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_ointment) page on it
It is indeed horse fat/oil. It’s commonly used in beauty products from Korea and Japan, because it is similar to human sebum, antibacterial, moisturizing and anti-irritant.
It’s exactly what it is. A bunch of skincare based products in in Japan uses horse fat/animal fat so it’s not surprising.
Okay good to know! I’m certainly checking for this ingredient before I buy anything… I do not want to be using any kind of animal fat on my face.
GUYS WHAT DAY IS IT?!?!?
