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.

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.
