Every bearded man’s grooming corner of the bathroom cupboard might contain some beard oil, beard butter, and/or beard balm - but do you know which product will best suit your beard’s needs?
Navigating the world of beard care products can be a bit like finding your way through a conversation with your kids about Minecraft, you’re glad they’re excited but it’s all a bit much. You've got oils, butters, and balms, each promising to be the secret to a great beard. But what exactly sets them apart, and how do you know which one is right for you?
Let’s break down what they each can do for you.
1) Beard Oil
What It Is: Beard oil is primarily made to moisturise and soften beard hair. Ours is made from a blend of carrier oils like jojoba, apricot kernel fractionated coconut and rosehip, and essential oils for scent.
Benefits: It reduces itchiness and dandruff, promotes healthier hair growth, and makes your beard easier to manage.
Best For: If you who want a lightweight, easily absorbed product that keeps the beard and underlying skin hydrated. Suits all beard lengths.
2) Beard Butter
What It Is: Beard butter can be thought of as a hybrid between beard oil and balm. It contains the same types of natural oils as beard oil, but with added butters including shea and mango, along with coconut oil, which provides more substantial conditioning.
Benefits: Offers deep conditioning and is great for overnight treatments; it helps to soften, hydrate, and tame your beard.
Best For: Those looking for a conditioning product that provides both styling hold and deep moisturisation, without the weight of a balm.
3) Beard Balm
What It Is: Beard balm has a thicker consistency, including beeswax along with the butters, carrier and essential oils.
Benefits: Provides more hold for styling, conditions the beard, and seals in moisture for longer.
Best For: Men with longer beards that need more control or those living in harsh weather conditions, as it provides extra protection.
Choosing the right product for your beard is all about understanding what each one does and how it matches your beard's needs. Whether you're looking to simply moisturise, deeply condition, or keep every hair in check, we have a product tailored for you.
