What is Beard Oil
Beard oil is a combination of carrier oils, essential oils and/or fragrance oils.
Essential oils are distilled from the leaves, bark, roots and other aromatic portions of a botanical. Essential oils evaporate and have a concentrated aroma. Carrier oils, on the other hand, are pressed from the fatty portions (seeds, nuts, kernels) and do not evaporate or impart their aroma as strongly as essential oils.
Where essential oils contain only the distilled essence of a plant, perfume and fragrance oils are artificially created fragrances, contain artificial substances or are diluted with carrier oils
Benefits of having a beard
Beards aren’t just manly and badass, they also serve a purpose. They act as a barrier between you and the elements. Beards not only block 95% of UV rays, they also catch pollen and dust and keep allergens out of your nose and respiratory system. Beards also stop you from shaving which can irate the skin and create in-grown hairs and bumps. Nicks from shaving also attract bacteria which can lead to infections.
Beard oil also has the benefit of increasing circulation and stimulating growth.
Why you should be using beard oil/benefits of beard oil
Weather, pollution, sun, and washing are all factors that will dry out your beard, make the hair wiry, and contribute to breakage and split ends. When your skin becomes dry, it will flake and give you beardfruff.
Beard oil and balm combat these issues and can restore your beard and skin back to a healthy state, and healthy skin helps promote a thick, faster growing beard.
When you first start growing your bear, or prefer to have the “scruff” look, the skin can become irritated and itchy. Beard oil will help combat this with its moisturizing and nourishing properties.
Beard oil will also help tame fly-aways as healthy, softer hair will lay flatter and be more manageable.
Beard oil can reduce acne by going deep into the hair follicle and clear blockages responsible for causing acne breakouts.
How to apply beard oil
Shake the bottle before each use. Apply 3-5 drops of beard oil to the palm of your hand. Rub hands together to emulsify, and apply to both the beard and the skin underneath. If you beard is longer, try using additional drops.
Who should be using beard oil
Simple answer is everyone. Beard oil is beneficial from scruff to big beards.
Best time to apply beard oil
If you are going to apply multiple products like oil, balm, and butters, you should apply the beard oil first.

Beard oil should be applied twice a day, ideally after you wash your face.
