About Our Blends
Our Beard Oils, Butters, and Balms were a labor of love. We have chosen the blends we use because we truly believe they deliver the best results but also the best value available. We use the highest quality carrier oils that are always cold-pressed when available. Cold-pressing involves crushing and pressing to produce the oils, which means no heat or chemicals are uses in order to retain maximum nutrients. We also use the highest quality essential oils and skin safe fragrance oils. Our soaps, washes, conditioners, and fragrances are also SLS/SLES, phthalate, and paraben free. Cruelty free too!
Shea Nut Oil (cold pressed) - Extracted from the nut of the shea tree found in tropical regions of Africa, this dark to golden colored oil is used in various hair care products. It is valued for its abilities to restore and seal moisture, decrease dreaded frizz, eliminate dandruff, and prevent the loss of nutrients. The application of shea nut oil to the roots helps to add volume to the hair while styling.
Golden Jojoba Oil - Produced in the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, a shrub, which is native to southern Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico. Unrefined jojoba oil appears as a clear golden liquid at room temperature with a slightly nutty odor. Jojoba oil isn't a moisturizer itself; it seals in moisture. It actually preserves and seals in hair shaft moisture. It is non comedogenic.
Argan Oil - Argan Oil is derived from the kernels of the argan tree. Moisturizes, adds shine, protects hair, protects from breakage and increases elasticity. Helps protect hair from mechanical stress which means it stays looking healthy. The composition of argan oil may help to keep your hair healthy, even with hair styling and using heat tools.
Fractionated Coconut Oil (certified organic) - An ideal carrier oil for essential oils for several reasons: It blends well. When you combine fractionated coconut oil with essential oils, they mix well, making for even distribution. Dilutes the oil. A little goes a long way with highly concentrated essential oils. A carrier oil can dilute them (in a good way) so that they are gentler on the skin yet still offer all the benefits. Enhance the effects of essential oils. Fractionated coconut oil is packed with nutrients, and has significant moisturizing abilities, so it can help enhance the effects of the essential oil you’ve chosen to use. Fractionated coconut oil sinks into your skin quickly and is less likely to clog your pores than normal coconut oil.
Sweet Almond Oil (cold pressed) - Almond oil is produced by ripe almonds - typically sweet almonds. We choose to use unrefined sweet almond oil, which means extraction by pressing which produces a superior oil rather than using a heat and chemical extraction process. Almond oils is fantastic for skin health, promotes hair growth, and has antibacterial properties. It also contains a substantial amount of the vitamin B7, or biotin which can promote hair growth.
Avocado Oil - Avocado oil is a fantastic source of omega-rich oils and antioxidants for healthy hair. Full of bio-active phytochemicals, including vitamin E tocopherols, vitamin D, and carotenoids (lutein and beta carotene) that defend hair from UV damage, environmental aggressors, and pollutants that can make hair feel dry and look brittle. Rich in oleic acid and monounsaturated fats gives avocado oil the ability to penetrate deep into the hair shaft.
Grape Seed Oil (cold pressed) - A lightweight oil that is extracted from the seeds of grapes and penetrates the skin quickly. It is rich in many other advantageous compounds, including beta-carotene, vitamins D, C, E, and polyphenols that have excellent antioxidant abilities making it a strong source of antioxidant benefits, including free radical scavenging and protection from environmental aggressors such as UV radiation or pollution. Virgin organic grapeseed oil contains linoleic acid and plenty of antioxidants. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores and works well with other natural oils like avocado, almond, and jojoba.
Vitamin E - A potent scalp antioxidant and hair hydrator that stimulates hair growth and increases hair strength/shine. Vasodilation and vasoconstriction properties meaning increased blood flow which encourages hair growth. The natural antioxidants in Vitamin E may help with maintaining hair growth by preventing the breakdown of existing hair follicles.
Shea Butter - Derived from the nuts of the African shea tree. This hydrator offers moisturizing and softening benefits as well as protection to the hair shaft. Thick, coarse, dry, or damaged hair will love this nourishing butter.
Coconut Oil - This multitasking hydrating oil not only moisturizes but may strengthen the hair as well. Extremely dry and/or curly hair will most benefit from using coconut oil. It is packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids along with vitamin E, making it an ideal ingredient for treating dry hair.
Beeswax (organic) - Beeswax is made by worker honeybees and is the natural wax that makes up the structure of the honeycomb. Moisturizing, barrier-creating, with antibacterial properties, it moisturizes and seals the hair, smoothes flyaways, and assists with hair growth.

Does what a beard wash is supposed to do. Gets the beard clean without stripping it. Very good lather and leaves my beard feeling light, soft and ready for the day. The smell is great! Not over powering but you get it. Fantastic beard wash!
What a variety!. Something for everyone!! Some strong scents & medium to light... Fall, winter, summer... It's all here.. you have to try these... Blackjack,cherry crush, black flannel just to name a few... You have to get it warmed up in hAnds & in beard to get full experience of any of these scents... All in the top quality oil from TN
Fantabulous product! Leaves the beard clean and light feeling. A little goes a long way since it has good lather. This will be a staple in my weekly stripping routine!
I received a 2oz of this beard butter. It's the perfect night time butter! The smell is super relaxing and fresh. Smooth and nourishing great smelling butter!
This smooth beard butter smells like earthy woods with some cinnamon and spices. Nice manly fall scent.
I love the smell of this! It's got a natural sweetness but not sugary sweet. The blend of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie smell) and blueberries is the perfect blend. Perfect profile for the fall season!
I'm a grandpa and this is what a grandpa's beard should smell like. Very well blended scent profile. The smell reflects a relaxed attitude. Nothing in the world can move this mountain. Very nice!

Midnight Mass is one of four scent drops for Halloween 2024, and MAN what a scent! It is a masterful blend of delicately sweet tonka, warm, spicy cinnamon and clove with earthy, woodsy evergreen. The scent is definitely on the stronger side and has a wonderfully long-lasting duration! If you're like me and love a strong masculine fragrance with some punch to it, this one should probably be high on your list. Besides the great scent, you already know True North's beard butters are among the softest, smoothest, most nourishing available.
..."just like witches at black masses ..." goes the classic Black Sabbath simile - and what a gathering - a dark Midnight Mass for the ages! True North's Midnight Mass is one of four scent drops for Halloween 2024. It is hauntingly deep, magically smooth and warmly spiced. This one has an ever so slight tonka bean sweetness that balances perfectly with a nice bite of cinnamon and clove, and THAT wonderfully grounded with the woodsy, earthy, appeal of evergreen. Stronger, very long lasting, masculine scent in an oil blend that ALWAYS leaves the beard feeling tip top!
A great way to try multiple scents and experience the quality of the oil. All are fantastic but there are several that I will definitely be getting the full size of!

All Hallows' Eve was one of four new scent drops for Halloween 2024! I absolutely love this unique scent! I have worn it a few times and find it calming and relaxing, if not downright intoxicating! At the top, I find a luscious, well-crafted balance of sweet floral and sharp citrus. Overall, the profile is smooth, bright and crisp, yet green, earthy and soothing. Truly a medium scent strength but with an above average duration. It wears well day or night, but dare I say - it seems to come alive for the evening! You already know, True North's beard butters are renown for being smooth, soft, grit-free, easily emulsified facial hair nutrition!

I just used this beard wash and let me tell you, it's FANTASTIC!!! Perfect consistency. Not too watery or too thick. Suds up and gently cleans the beard. Ends up feeling soft and clean without being totally stripped. Can't recommend this enough!
