Beard Care Guide: Find the Right Products for Your Beard

Beard oil is a lightweight, fast-absorbing liquid designed to moisturize both your beard hair and the skin beneath it. Crafted with nourishing carrier oils and infused with essential or fragrance oils for a subtle scent, it keeps your beard soft, healthy, and easier to manage.

You should start using beard oil as soon as your beard begins to grow. Even short stubble benefits from the hydration and softness it provides, helping prevent dryness, itchiness, and irritation during the early stages of growth. Using beard oil from the very beginning keeps your beard more comfortable, nourishes the skin underneath, and makes the hair softer and easier to manage. As your beard grows longer, regular use continues to condition and tame your beard, promoting a healthier, fuller, and more manageable look.

We recommend applying beard oil once a day as part of your regular grooming routine. Just like the hair on your head needs consistent care, your beard benefits from daily moisture to stay soft, healthy, and manageable. For men with very dry skin or coarse beards, using beard oil twice a day can be even more effective. Applying it in the morning helps keep your beard looking its best throughout the day, while using it again before bed allows the oil to repair and nourish your beard and the skin underneath overnight.

Yes. Our beard oil is made with a blend of 8 noncomedogenic carrier oils, which are gentle and unlikely to clog pores. This carefully selected formula nourishes both your beard hair and the skin beneath, helping reduce dryness, irritation, and itch while keeping your facial hair soft and healthy.

The main difference between beard oil and beard balm comes down to their consistency and intended use. We make both because different beards need different care at different times.

Beard oil is essential for daily maintenance, keeping both your skin and beard healthy. It’s perfect for men dealing with dry skin, beard itch, or irritation, or for anyone who wants a natural, soft, and well-groomed look. Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly, moisturizing without weighing your beard down or leaving it greasy. Beard oil is great for all beard lengths, even short stubble.

Beard balm, on the other hand, provides control and styling power. It’s especially useful for medium to longer beards since it provides a medium/firm hold to tame stray hairs while also conditioning. Balm helps keep your beard looking neat, polished, and well-shaped throughout the day.

Absolutely! Beard oil can (and should) be used on stubble. In fact, we recommend it to keep your skin healthy and hydrated as your beard begins to grow. Even short facial hair benefits from the added moisture and nutrients in our oils, which can help reduce itch, dryness, and irritation during the early stages of growth.

We recommend applying beard oil right after your morning shower, while your pores are open and your beard is still damp. The warm water helps the oil absorb more deeply into your skin and hair follicles. Morning application sets your beard up for the entire day, keeping it soft and manageable through work and whatever else you’ve got going on. Some guys also like a second application before bed to keep their beard nourished overnight.

Beard oil is best applied to a damp beard, not a dripping wet or completely dry one. A damp beard allows for better absorption of the oil, helping it reach the hair follicles and skin effectively.

Not if used properly. Our beard oil is lightweight and fast-absorbing, so it won’t leave a greasy finish. A good way to check is to run your hands over your beard about 30 minutes after applying. If your hands feel oily, you’ve used too much. Remember, a few drops go a long way.

Beard balm is a styling and conditioning product that coats the surface of your beard hair. Made from a blend of shea butter, beeswax, and nourishing oils, it helps shape and style your beard, keeping flyaways in check and making your beard easier to manage and maintain.

Beard balm provides medium to firm hold, taming flyaways and keeping your beard well-styled throughout the day. It forms a protective barrier against environmental damage like dust and pollutants, while reducing frizz and making your beard appear fuller for a polished, healthy look.

Start with a small amount of beard balm, about a pea-sized amount. Rub it between your palms until it melts into a smooth, workable texture, then apply evenly to your beard, focusing on the hair to tame flyaways.

No. When used correctly, beard balm feels lightweight and smooth. Start with a small amount and thoroughly melt it between your palms by warming it with your hands. Once fully melted, apply it evenly to the top of your beard hair. Use a comb to distribute the balm evenly, shape your beard, and style as desired. Any leftover residue can be wiped onto your hands, elbows, or arms.

We always recommend testing a small amount on your skin first, but our beard balm is made with nourishing ingredients and contains no harsh chemicals. It features a blend of shea butter, beeswax, and eight carrier oils that are gentle on most skin types. While generally safe, those with very sensitive skin or specific oil allergies should patch-test first.

Start by scooping a small amount of beard butter; just a little goes a long way. Rub it between your palms until it melts into a smooth, creamy consistency.

Rinse-out beard conditioner is a shower product that softens and moisturizes facial hair while reducing tangles and snags. Unlike beard oil or butter, it is designed to be rinsed out and provides hydration and smoothness immediately after washing.

Once or twice per week is the general rule of thumb for using beard conditioner. If you live in harsher climates or have a naturally coarse beard, you may benefit from using it more often, up to 3 to 4 times per week, to combat dryness and brittleness.
