What is Beard Oil, and why do I need it?

Our Beard Oil helps address specific problems like beard itch, below-the-beard acne, and sensitive skin, without feeling greasy. Plus, it keeps the beard soft, shiny, and smooth - which means more cuddles for you!

Our “dry” oils (apricot, coconut, grapeseed, and vitamin e) go on light, and can be used on your whole face. Use as a pre-shave oil or moisturize your whiskers without feeling greasy.

How do I use it, and how often?

Our Beard Oil comes in an easy to use pump bottle. Use 1-2 pumps in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together, and work through your facial hair. Use daily, or whenever your beard feels dry.

What is Clay Shaving Soap? Do I need a shaving mug and brush?

Shaving Soap

What makes it “shaving” soap? We add bentonite clay and castor oil to our shave soaps to give it a smooth and rich texture. Bentonite clay is an oil-absorber that provides a thick, creamy, smooth feeling. Castor oil is a skin softener that attracts moisture to the skin and then holds it in (it also gives it the big fluffy bubbles). Mixed together, these ingredients give you a close shave that is perfect for sensitive skin! Use it directly on the skin so that you feel the slippery soap, not just the bubbles, and use any razor you'd like. If you'd prefer to use a shave mug and brush, then you'll get your brush wet, swirl the soap into a lather, lather your face, and shave. You can leave the soap in our handmade mugs, rinse your brush with water, and let it dry on the built in handle.

What does aftershave do for my skin, and how do I use it?

Our Aftershave reduces any shaving irritation by extracting dirt, closing pores, adjusting pH and calming the skin. Made with organic aloe, vitamin c, tons of healing extracts, willow bark, and a pinch of tea tree essential oil. Organic aloe is soothing, but you'll really love the anti-aging punch in the face you get from the Vitamin C. Splash or apply with cotton ball to face after shaving, or to simply clean your face. Feel free to add any extra essential oils for more punch in the face!

What is a good moisturizer for my skin? How do I use it, and how often?

Green Tea Face Cream is a really light feeling, unscented, non-greasy, and makes you feel like the better version of yourself. Moisturize your your clean face and neck every morning and night. Apply cream in an upward motion. It is made with organic aloe juice instead of water, so it perfect for sensitive, dry, or oily skin.

What essential oils are beneficial for Beard Oil or Aftershave?

The best essential oils to use when it comes to skin irritations are Tea Tree and Lavender. These two powerhouse oils help minimize the common side effects of shaving- such as irritation, bumpiness, and ingrown hairs. Lavender is also known to help with hair growth.

If you just can’t deal with the smell of Tea Tree and Lavender, Cedarwood, Bergamot, and Patchouli are all anti-inflammatory and might be better choices for you!

We also have a variety of men fragrances on our custom bar to lightly scent your beard oil or aftershave!
