BEARD AND HAIR OIL
Definition: Beard and hair oil is typically a combination of carrier oils and a blend of essential oils. Sure it helps you smell delicious, but most importantly, it moisturizes and hydrates your beard, hair and the skin beneath, thus preventing brittle hair, itchy skin and a place for birds to nest. We take pride in our products and source only high-quality ingredients to put into our oils. Rest assured that our blends are All-Natural, the way it should be. Nothing more, nothing less!
Carrier oils come from the fatty parts of plants, usually the seeds and nuts. These oils are used to help dilute essential oils and contain several vitamins and essential fatty acids that are beneficial to skin and hair follicles. Some of the more popular examples of carrier oils include jojoba oil, argan oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, grape seed oil and castor oil.
Essential oils are a more concentrated version of plant-based oils and are usually found in the plant’s roots, stems, bark, flowers and seeds. These are used mainly for therapeutic and aromatic purposes and are found in a vast array of products. Popular examples of essential oils are lavender, peppermint, cedarwood, eucalyptus and citrus to name a few.
Application: The best time to use beard and hair oil, in our opinion, is right after a nice, warm and refreshing shower. Gently pat and dry your beard and/or hair, then pour a few drops into the palm of your hand and rub your hands together. Massage the oils into your beard and/or hair and be sure to massage it thoroughly. Feel free to re-apply throughout the day, as needed.
Longevity: Used daily, your bottle should definitely last you a few months. You’ll see that we’ve carefully packaged our beard oil blends in dark amber bottles, as these are known to better block UV rays versus the lighter-coloured bottles out there. We recommend storing your bottle(s) in a dark, dry and cool area, away from direct sunlight, as the oils can separate and turn rancid. For best results and freshness, use within 12 months from purchase date.
BEARD BALM
Definition: Beard Balm is essentially a rich, moisturizing conditioner that helps you style and sculpt your beard, all while smelling delicious. Most beard balms contain different “butters”, such as shea butter and/or cocoa butter, which nourish your beard and helps the balm spread easier. It also contains beeswax, which also has numerous benefits for your beard and is a type of sealant that locks in the moisture and gives you an extra layer of protection against nature’s harsh elements. The balm also gives you and and that sexy beard of yours a great scent as well as extra nutrients and vitamins.

Application: Just like beard oil, the best time to use beard balm, in our opinion, is right after a nice, warm and refreshing shower. Once your beard has been patted down, with the back of your thumbnail, scrape a small amount of beard balm and rub your hands together until it melts a bit. Then gently massage it into that beautiful beard of yours and sculpt it however you see fit you sexy beast!

Longevity: If used on a daily basis, your tin should last you a few months. Just like our beard oils, we recommend storing your tin(s) in a dark, dry and cool area, away from direct sunlight, as the oils can separate and turn rancid.

MUSTACHE WAX
Definition: Mustache wax is a styling agent that will help style, sculpt and keep your 'stache on point while looking and feeling great. It also protects your mustache from the harsh elements and hydrates your facial hair and the skin underneath to leave it feeling great. As an added bonus, it also helps prevent brittle hair and soothes the itchiness and dandruff away. This "mustache food" is loaded with healthy oils that can help thicken and rejuvenate your facial hair. Sculpt your mustache any way you see fit - after all, who doesn't love mustache rides?!
