Beard oil is the secret to keeping your manly beard soft and under control while also keeping the skin under all that hair itch and "beardruff" free.  This beard oil is a blend of oils of argon, jojoba, apricot kernel oil, abyssinan oil,  castor oil and vitamin E.  All selected to nourish and condition your skin and hair.   The listing is for (1) 1 oz. green glass dropper bottle in the fragrance of your choice.  Fragrances are listed below.

Fragrances:

Tobacco and Rum: Classic manly scent, sweet rum blended with base of fine cigars.  If you like vintage men's cologne, you may prefer this one.  Blended with a light touch so those next to you can smell it, but you aren't going to scent a room.

Bergamot and Oakmoss:  light citrus top notes with a sweet woodsy green base.  Definitely masculine, but not heavy or pungent.  

Sweet Black Pepper:  lightly sweet with a touch of fresh ground pepper.

Sandalwood and Oakmoss:  Earthy blend of oakmoss and sandalwood with tonka bean, cedarwood, lemon and petitgrain.
 
Redwood: Dry wood with a touch of saffron and amber, very manly and woodsy!


Ingredients:
Jojoba oil is the closest oil we have to our skin's own natural oils and it does not clog pores or aggravate acne, in fact it can help your skin regulate oil production as well as being naturally anti fungal and antibacterial.  In fact, jojoba is not an oil at all but a liquid wax that absorbs quickly and cleanly into skin and hair.  

Argan oil is a light, deeply penetrating oil that can tame frizz and flyaway beard hairs as well as containing high levels of Vitamin E to nourish skin and hair promoting healthy growth.
 
Abyssinan Oil: Abyssinian Oil contains an abundance of both Linoleic and Linolenic Acids. Linoleic Acid, an Omega 6 fatty acid, is helpful with skin regeneration, while Linolenic Acid, an Omega 3, is anti-inflammatory, cell-communicating, and skin conditioning.  It is very resistant to oxidation, unlike many plant oils, as it contains a high percentage of C22 fatty acids. This oil is easily absorbed and does not leave a sticky or greasy feeling behind.
 
Castor oil is a heavier oil that feeds your beard with ricinoleic acid and omega-6 fatty acids all promoting hair growth.  It also helps smooth and seal the hair cuticle adding shine to your beard, making it appear fuller.  Last but not least castor oil is a great natural remedy for dandruff, which full bearded men know is not limited to the top of the head.  

Instructions for use:
First, give the bottle a couple of good shakes (with the lid sealed of course.)  Beard oil is made of a blend of oils of differing weights,  much like salad dressing, so if you don't give it a good shake or two you won't get the benefit of the blend.  Draw up a small portion of oil in the dropper and squirt into the palm of your hand.  Rub hands together to spread oil and stroke palms over beard.  For best coverage, give your beard area a good massage getting the oil right up to the roots.  It doesn't take much, a couple of drops for a close beard, 5-6 drops for a full one.  Dry beards make take a bit more until they are repaired and don't need as much.  A (1 oz.) bottle contains approximately 1,000 drops of oil, so at a high rate of use it is over a three month supply, and for your average application of 5 drops it is 6 months worth.  We also like using a beard comb to comb oil through the beard evenly and help with styling.  Check out our gift sets that include beard oil, beard balm for extra hold, and a peachwood anti-static comb.  

How we make it:
We are a small farm in North Texas raising dairy goats and market gardening, that started out producing and selling our goat milk soap at local farmers markets and stores.  One product led to another, as customers made requests we would create products they were looking for.  One regular question we would get at markets is "Do you have anything for beards?"   As we had many of the oils and fragrances as part of our soaping supply we began developing and testing recipes.  Several versions later, this is the recipe that our testers preferred with a balance of oils that kept beard and skin feeling and looking good.  Our blends are made in our studio with responsibly sourced ingredients from essential oils to carrier oils, and all of our fragrances are phthalate-free.  We make small batches so you know that your product is as fresh as possible for a long shelf life.  
 
The Fine Print:  
While we use quality ingredients regulated and approved for topical use, every person's body chemistry is different.  We advise testing any new skincare product on a small area such as the inside of your arm to ensure that you do not react to any of the natural oils, essential oils, or fragrances.
