Morphology
The noun phrase is compositionally built from 'horse chestnut' (a type of nut/plant) + 'cream' (a topical preparation), so a learner who knows the constituents can infer it is a cream containing horse chestnut. The specific therapeutic use might be unfamiliar, but the overall product meaning is directly derivable and follows common noun-compound + product patterns.
Etymology
The noun horse chestnut cream comes from the tree called the horse chestnut, whose large shiny nuts were long ago fed to or used for horses, so the name links 'horse' and 'chestnut'. People make a 'extract' from those nuts and put it in a cream to help sore muscles and joints, so today horse chestnut cream means a cream you put on the skin to ease pain.
