Are you tired of having a beard that feels like glass wool? A few drops can fix it.
So you decided to put an end to the dry, dull, and frizzy beard? There’s an (almost) miracle product: beard oil. It works to improve the visual appearance of your beard, perfumes it, and leaves your hairs instantly softer. Beard oil = love. You’ll see..
Keep your hair protected
Any beard deserves maintenance, whether it’s long, short, curly, or smooth. If a beard isn’t maintained properly, it can be prone to itching, redness, dandruff, and dry skin.
Every day, your beard deals with external threats. When you’re outside, it filters particles and polluted air, endures the cold, and UV exposure. When indoors, it deals with hard tap water as well as food residues that get in the way of the health of your beard and are the source of bad odours. You wouldn't want your beard to smell, would you?
For a better beard
Beard oil moisturises and nourishes hair that might otherwise feel brittle and dehydrated. It will also help you tame the lengths of your beard which is helpful even if you don't have a beard that goes to your torso. After using it, your beard instantly look more supple and structured but above all, count on it to be much softer to touch. Beard oils help to boost your beard’s vitality, stimulate hair follicles, and help it grow faster. This care essential is also beneficial to the skin underneath your beard since it also helps to hydrate it.
What you'll find inside
Beard oil is made up of different oils which have distinct but complementary beard and skin benefits. A product rich in castor oil is known to promote hair growth and strengthens hair from the root. If it also contains argan oil, the latter will nourish the hair, revitalize it, and make your beard softer. Other oils like jojoba, olive, or coconut oil can also provide repair, strength and protein.
On the skin side, almond oil is recommended for dry and sensitive skin types, while grapeseed oil is a known anti-inflammatory and reduces acne, which is pretty practical if you use your beard to hide pimples. FYI, our beard oil contains it. It also contains argan oil and black castor oil which provide noticeable suppleness and volume.
The right beard oil for you lies in the benefits you’re looking for, but also in the scent that you like most. We have opted for light and fresh fragrances to give your beard a subtle boost in aromatic elegance.
Nourishing your beard above all allows you to avoid shaving, a practice that is often tempting when the itching appears. The truth is, if your skin is well hydrated, it will also be less prone to irritation from hair growth and pimples. In short, beard oil can only do you good.
