FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do you recommend I use in my daily beard care routine? Your beard care routine is as unique as you. There is no one right way to follow, it's a matter of finding what works best for you that you can stick to and see results! We always recommend starting with a Beard Oil as the most basic form of beard care, but if you need more help please email us! We love to talk about beard care and would love to help tailor a routine that works best for you!
How do I use your products? Our products were carefully created and tested (only on humans!) to promote healthy hair and skin. You can find how to use instructions on each product as well as more detailed instructions here on our site on each product page. We strongly suggest the less is more approach. You can always dial it up and add more, but a little goes a long way with True North Co. products. Start with a couple drops, or a pea sized amount and slowly add more as needed based on length and thickness.
Balm, Butter, Oil...what's the difference? All beards need moisture, some more than others. Some beards require more specific care. Here's the breakdown:
- Beard Oil should be used as a daily light weight moisturizer at the roots aka your follicle. This keeps the skin under your beard happy. Happy skin means a healthy beard. We recommend you use your Beard Oil daily.
- Beard Butter should be used as a light/medium moisturizing treatment for your hair. We like to use it overnight to allow it to sink in and really soften those whiskers but you can use it in your daytime routine as well. We recommend using Beard Butter consistently to your liking, but every day is not necessary.
- Beard Balm is for those looking to add moisture while sculpting and styling during the day. Our Balm is a light/medium hold that will keep flyaways in line.
My Beard Butter/Balm melted, what should I do? Don't worry, a melted Butter or Balm can be saved. The consistency may change slightly, but it will still work just as well. Just pop it into your refrigerator (1 hr) or freezer (30 min) to help bring it back to its original form.
Who can use our products? While we are a beard company, we encourage ANYONE to try our products! Your oil, balm, soap, butter, etc. don't know your age, race, gender, or even if you have a beard. Our products can be used in many different ways and can serve different purposes that we may not have even thought of yet. That's the beauty of using all natural products. Just avoid your eyes. And definitely don't eat them.
My Butter/Balm feels gritty, is it ok to use? Definitely. Using all natural products can sometimes mean small inconsistencies. No two snowflakes are the same in nature and sometimes our products can look or feel different due to many different circumstances outside of our control. Give your Butter/Balm a moment to warm up between your fingers before you apply it and it should be smooth sailing!
Let customers speak for us
from 833 reviewsGreat clean, masculine, and woodsy scent! This is a great cologne type scent to wear day or night!
This is FANTASTIC! You get the feeling of being outside in the crisp fresh air in the middle of a flower garden! The musk helps to make this a great floral cologne!
If you are looking to try a lot the True North's scents tbis is the way to do it. It is gpoing to take months to try them all.
Winter Break was an unexpected collaboration with TNBC and one of the best friends I've never met. It's a wonderful bright citrus scent that will brighten up a gloomy day. It's great on the bucket, and even better in your beard. Don't forget the artwork! TNBC does their art in-house, and their work is outstanding. So, if the weather where you are is as crappy as the weather is where I am, buy this scent. Take a little mental vacation with TNBC and Winter Break.
This is my top scent from the black Friday drop. Doughbuster smells just like a cinnamon sugar doughnut. It's a sweet mix with a pastry like finish.
Auld Lang Syne ended up in my top 5 scent list without even taking out of the bucket. I've used several buckets now, of course, but it's incredible just in the bucket. The first thing I get is the wonderfully tart cranberry, then the sweet pear, and the scent finishes with a bubbly champagne kind of smell. I don't know how they make you smell bubbles, but they do. Add this scent to the ultra smooth butter TNBC is known for, and you've got yourself a top 5 scent without a doubt.
That's not a joke. This smells so much like strawberry shortcake, you'll find yourself wanting to taste it. DON'T! I think TNBC had to put the warning label "for external use only" on their scents because they smell so much like real food you'll want to stick it in your cake hole. Other than the incredible scent here, the ultra smooth zero grit butter is something that everyone is talking about. If they're not, they should be.
This scent smells exactly like the snickerdoodle cookies your grandma used to make. Snickahdoodle if your grandma was from Boston! Really though, it's a great blend of cinnamon and sugar with the buttery cookie to round it all out. Smell like your grandma's kitchen at Thanksgiving. You'll thank yourself later.
Do you like waffles? Of course you do. Waffles are S tier. How about berries? Yep. We all do. Only weirdos don't like berries. Do you like waffle and berries together? There's no doubt you do. They're both incredible, and their combination is hard to beat. That is what That's My Jam brings to the table. Sweet berries and that light pastry scent combine in an ultra smooth zero grit beard butter that will soften your beard, and make the people's mouths water around you.
Do you like grape soda? Would you like a beard butter that smells EXACTLY like grape soda? Trust me, you would. My doctor even complimented me on the scent right before putting me under. True story. It's a great scent. You will not be disappointed.
Stranger Beards is great! It smells like the little smarties candies we all ate as kids. Well, most of us anyway. So of you are still babies, and don't know what smarties are, but that's your problem. We're not here for you're problems. We're here to review this beard butter. I already said it smells like smarties. So, if you like that, buy it. If you don't, buy it anyway. It'll be good for you. You could always go to the store and buy some smarties first to see if you like the way they smell, but jokes on you...Stranger Beards smells the way smarties taste! Just buy it, you'll be happy you did.
This smells like a strawberry laffy taffy, but in a nice zero grit beard butter that makes your beard oh so soft. Unlike actual taffy, it's not sticky, and won't screw up your beard. The one drawback, there aren't jokes on every label. So, I'll write one here so you're not disappointed:
Why are there only two doors on a chicken coupe?
Give up?
If there were four it'd be a chicken sedan! HAHAHAHAHA
This scent smells like a fresh fruit smoothie. It's smooth and fresh citrus....which is the reason for calling it a "fresh" fruit "smoothie." It's silly that I needed to explain that, but I could tell you were confused. Don't be young padawan, Matty Ice has you covered. If you like citrus-y smells, and like a smoothie, this scent is like a smoothie for your beard. Buy it, and give your beard a smoothie designed for it, not just the slop you slob on yourself somehow.
Nectar of the Gods is an incredible fruity scent. The peach and apricot pair wonderfully together, and the pear rounds out the scent. I'm quite certain TNBC had a direct line of communication with Aristaeus himself to get this incredible fruit scent. Another badass scent from badass people.
True North lists this one as a Medium / Strong scent. I'd say definitely to the stronger side! Very masculine, long lasting leather scent. No new shoes or new car leather here - think harder hitting, punch you in the nose, dank, musky leather - and yeah, you can actually smell the tobacco and trail dust. Really unique scent creation and made for those who crave a much more potent scent. And did I mention leather?
