What is Beard Oil?

If you have to chose a single product to nourish, hydrate and maintain your beard then this miracle oil is the product you turn to. Beard Oil is basically a cosmetic oil which is designed specially for the beard. Any high quality beard oil contains two major ingredients - carrier oil and essential oil. Some higher end products may also contain Vitamin E for added care and nourishment. Carrier Oils make up for about 90% of the constituents of any beard oil. This is why these oils are actually responsible for the core benefits of beard oil. Carrier oils are typically derived from seeds and nuts and are 100% natural with the most popular ones being jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, argan oil, grapeseed oil and so on. Many beard oils contain an essential oil in the mix along with the carrier oil. These oils are generally used for fragrance purpose and are available in several different scents like citrus, lavender, sandalwood, tea tree and such others.

How to apply beard oil

1. Pour a very small amount of beard oil onto your palm or snag a dollop of balm with your fingertip.
2. Spread it on both palms and between your fingers. (just like you would do with a hair gel)
3. Apply it evenly throughout your beard and massage is onto your skin. Don’t forget the second part of this step. This is because the beard hair is only as healthy as the skin it grows out from.
4. Now, brush or comb your beard hair for achieving proper volume and a well maintained look. This step also helps in distributing the oil perfectly throughout the beard.
