Your skin will love the added raw organic shea butter, famous for it’s skin moisturizing properties and non greasy feel.

A crossover between beard oil and beard balm, and yet it’s own thing entirely.  We’ve included five specialty butters of shea, cocoa, mango and the more exotic illipe & murumuru.

Unique to our beard butter is a special plant based conditioner that adds a luxurious and silky feel that also helps to detangle and smooth your beard.

[tab name="Ingredients"]

Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil), Butyrospermum Parkii Butter (Shea Butter), Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa Butter), Diheptyl Succinate (and) Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer (Luxglide), Rhus Succedanea Fruit (Japanese Sumac Wax), Mangifera Indica Seed (Mango) Butter, Behentrimonium Methosulfate (and) Cetyl Alcohol (and) Butylene Glycol (BTMS-50), Argania Spinosa Seed (Argan) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax (Cera Bellina), Tocopheral (Vit E), Squalane Olive (Neossance Squalane), Equisetum Hiemale (Horsetail) Extract, Laminaria Digitata (Algae Extract)

Beeswax: bulk of the hold comes from this, also an excellent humectant.

Japanese Sumac Wax: protective, velvety texture

Cera Bellina: a derivative of natural beeswax where the free fatty acids have been converted to polyglycerol esters, therefore increasing the hydrophilicity (having an affinity for water; readily absorbing or dissolving in water) of the molecule. Elimination of these fatty acids improves stability, oil gelling, and increases overall consistency of a formula.

Ricebran wax: similar to beeswax but is more emollient

Btms-50: Plant derived conditioner. Prized for its effective detangling abilities, it’s able to penetrate the hair shaft making it an excellent moisturizer and conditioner, while remaining gentle on the hair and skin, without coating the scalp or causing buildup. It also has hair thickening properties. Lends a creamy feel. Helps with washing out the heavier oils/waxes

Coconut: standard oil for skincare

Jojoba oil: similar to sebum, our skin’s natural barrier, making it easily absorbed.

Argan oil: Extremely effective in healing damaged skin & hair; Increases hydration, elasticity and youthful appearance in mature skin; Repairs painful skin conditions (flaky/dry/scaly skin, psoriasis / eczema & acne) relieves insect bites; Prevents hair breakage, reduces split ends & counteracts hair fragility while promoting hair growth

Cocoa butter, Shea butter, Mango butter

Squalane: our body produces a small amount. However, most people do not synthesize enough of this vital oil, which can lead to rough, dry aging skin. Because Squalane oil is so fine it is absorbed deep into the skin leaving no oily film-with amazing quickness. It prevents sun UV damage and age spots from forming. It promotes cell growth and is also an antibacterial. Much like a leave-on conditioner, Olive Squalane can hydrate hair, increase shine, prevent breakage, replenish your strands, and protect your hair from further damage. A few drops in your palm massaged into your hair before a shower can help boost moisture.

Algae Oil: works to enhance barrier function, as loss of moisture is a key component of skin aging. By replenishing the skin's lipids, its natural moisture levels are restored, therefore minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin.

In hair care, algae oil can moisturize and condition the hair thus reducing breakage, while also serving to repair split ends, provide shine, reduce frizz and improves hair manageability.

Horsetail Extract: The antioxidants properties associated with horsetail make Horsetail Extract is a beneficial additive for shampoos,conditioners, facial cleanser and treatments designated for moisturizing, soothing and repairing damaged hair and skin.

Luxglide: Natural plant derived silicone substitute, ideal for improving the after-feel on the skin by decreasing the greasy feel left by oils and butter. A light and fast spreading emollient that absorbs quickly to provide a slight cushion with an exceptional, soft after-feel suitable for a broad range of beauty care applications. Derived from 100% renewable and sustainable building blocks, such as coconut, castor bean and sugarcane. In hair serums it offers smoothness, softness, flyaways, and shine.
