Argan Oil

Argan oil is an active ingredient in many skin moisturizers, and there’s a good reason for that. Argan oil is high in Vitamin E, and does an excellent job at hydrating your skin. A big reason why it’s great in beard oils is because it is an oil that’s non-greasy and non-irritating. This is great because it will absorb into your skin without leaving a gross, greasy feeling behind!

Olive Oil

We all know how great olive oil can be when used in cooking — imagine the wonders that it can do for your skin and beard. A beard oil needs just the smallest amount of olive oil for it to transform your dry beard. It will no longer look and feel like a prickly bush!

Jojoba Oil

Sometimes, the reason why someone finds it difficult to grow a beard is because it gets so itchy that you shave it off before it can even start growing. That’s where jojoba oil will help. If you don’t attack the itching at the source, you’re going to get dandruff, or “beardruff.” Jojoba oil is going to moisturize your skin, which will help stop itching and reduce dandruff. You’ll finally be able to grow a beard because you won’t want to shave it off right away!

Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO)

Known to help treat a number of ailments including Alopecia areata (a type of hair loss), JBCO is a castor oil that's handmade in Jamaica by roasting the seeds of the castor oil plant. Being high in triglycerides, the fatty acids in found castor oil are also what make up most of the body fat in humans. Good to use on your beard? Definitely. It will quickly penetrate the skin underneath your beard, and help tame dry and coarse hair. Jamaican black castor oil will also help to eliminate dandruff (or “beardruff”). You’ll end up with much less breakage to your hair, which means you’ll have a fuller and better feeling beard.

Shea Butter

There are SO many benefits associated with shea butter — it might even be the best beard oil ingredient out there. Even if you have a crazy and unmanageable beard, shea butter can help transform your beard into a soft and tangle-free beard. You’ll find that you (or your partner) won’t be able to stop touching it! Shea butter has multiple hydrating properties, which help it to look manageable throughout the entire day. It will always look like you just brushed it!

Essential Oils

​Using a beard oil that’s making good use out of essential oils is a great defense against dry skin. The essential oils will soften your hair and will actually act like a conditioner. They will also keep your skin underneath in pristine condition — and when your skin is healthy, your beard will get healthy, too. You’ll find that you have to do less beard maintenance than you did before.
