KUMANOYUSHI Horse Oil Rinse-In Shampoo 600ml

A two-in-one wash is the practical choice when you want one bottle in the shower rather than three. This Kumanoyushi hair treatment and shampoo in one is a 600ml Japanese bottle with conditioning ingredients built into the formula, so hair does not feel squeaky after rinsing.

Horse oil is the ingredient the brand is known for, and it has been used in Japanese personal care for decades because its composition sits close to human sebum. It is joined here by camellia oil, argan kernel oil, sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed silk, with cetyl PG hydroxyethyl palmitamide as a conditioning agent. The formula is silicone-free and weakly acidic, matching the natural pH of hair and scalp. The lather is rich, and the scent is floral and fades once rinsed.

This suits dry and damaged hair, and anyone who wants to simplify their shower routine. Note that horse oil is animal-derived, and the formula uses sodium laureth sulfate rather than a sulfate-free base.
