Beard Balm

Beard balm has many similarities to beard oil, as it is a product that contains oils that condition and soften your beard. However, the beard balm also contains a mix of waxes and butters that make the product more solid.

Beard Balm hydrates, conditions, styles and softens your beard.

• With your thumb or forefinger, scoop up a small amount of balm, a little more if your beard is long

• Spread the balm between the palms of your hands rubbing them against each other. Rubbing will melt the balm in your hands

• Keep your fingers flat and start by applying the beard balm to the skin under your beard by massaging it deeply

• Apply the balm all over your beard. This is best done by starting at the bottom of the beard and working your way up to the sideburns by rubbing your open hands together in an upward motion

• Finally, use a comb or beard brush to continue distributing the product evenly and remove any lumps

Most beard balms contain these four basic types of ingredients:

• Carrier oils
• Essential oils
• Beeswax
• Malleable agent

They are mainly used to moisturize and nourish the skin under the beard, thus helping to avoid beard itching or dandruff. Some examples are jojoba, argan and sweet almond oil.

Essential oils give the wonderful fragrances to the conditioners. Obtained from many natural products such as mint, lemon, lavender, citrus fruits, plants, tree bark and much more.

As you know, bee hunting has so many uses, and it's also used in beard balm. Gives a solid consistency to the product. Being denser also helps give your beard some shape.

Shea butter, coconut butter and cocoa butter are some ingredients that make beard balm more malleable. These can add more moisture to the product to keep your beard healthy.
