Best Beard Oils And Products For Your Beard
Who knew that beards were such a popular topic? Back by popular demand (and thank you for liking our previous article about DIY beard oil recipes so much), this time around we are bringing you more of the good beard and moustache grooming products which are not DIY but still top quality. Also, all of the listed products are available on Amazon since not every beard wearer has the time or the inclination to make beard oils and waxes himself. We presume that these guys like to buy their stuff quick and hassle free, and we are here to make their choices easier and more informed.
Today, we are not only featuring beard waxes and oils but also balms, conditioners, combs (to be used on moustache too) and even books that will give you a glimpse into the weird and wonderful world of beard and moustache championships, the cultural history of beards and information about what your style of beard says about you as a person. So, together with our previous article, I think we have covered pretty much everything that is of interest to beard and moustache lovers. Let the fuzzy, bushy countdown of all things beard begin.
BEARD OILS, BALMS, CONDITIONERS AND WAXES
HONEST AMISH BEARD BALM
Honest Amish Beard Balm is an all natural, leave-in, vegan friendly beard balm made from organic oils and butters
We have already featured this beard balm in our previous article (DIY beard oils), but just in case you have missed it, here it is again. This is an all natural, leave-in, vegan friendly beard balm that is made from organic oils and butters. It is called Honest Amish Beard Balm. It is affordable, makes coarse and rogue hairs soft and manageable and stops the itch of new growth. The manufacturers of Honest Amish Beard Balm (by the way, we love the name) claim that this is the most trusted brand for beards in the world. The balm contains the finest organic ingredients like virgin argan, avocado, grape seed, virgin pumpkin seed and apricot kernel oil. It also has wonderfully scented fruit and nut butters like shea butter, aloe, cocoa and kokum, as well as hair nourishing essential oils. And how about this for a guarantee – the manufacturers claim that this is the top beard conditioner you have ever used. If you disagree, simply return the product and your money will be refunded. The balm has no artificial colors or preservatives and is packed in a completely recyclable tin.

HONEST AMISH ORIGINAL BEARD WAX
Honest Amish Original Beard Wax is perfect for rogue hairs and unruly beards
Another great product from the same company is also all natural and organic while being very effective when it comes to taming flyaway hairs and sculpting beards. It is called Honest Amish Original Beard Wax and, unlike the balm, it is more suited for rogue hairs and unruly beards. The wax is made from locally harvested beeswax, botanical additives, organic oils and fruit and nut butters which not only give you, the beard wearer, control over how your beard is going to look like but also add a nice shine. Just like with the Honest Amish Beard Balm, the wax will condition your skin and hair follicles alike. These recipes have been in making for centuries now and the wax is the one that started it all at Honest Amish. This is their oldest beard wax recipe. The wax is packaged in burlap and a 100% recyclable, full biodegradable tin.

LEVEN ROSE’S 100% BEARD OIL AND CONDITIONERS
Leven Rose Beard Oil keeps your beard and moustache in place while eliminating beardruff and improving growth
Leven Rose’s 100% Beard Oil and Conditioners are one of those beard products that have a triple effect – they keep your beard and moustache in place, they are 100% organic and smell great (to quote the manufacturer: “Keep your manly beard manly without smelling like a girl.”). Leven Rose claims that their oil is the solution to multitude of beard problems – from beardruff (for the uninformed / unknowing beard lovers, beardruff is dandruff from the beard) and unruly hairs to slow growth. As far as the ingredients go, they are really top class and all fragrance-free – 100% pure organic oil, unrefined Golden Jojoba Oil and 100% pure, cold pressed, unrefined Moroccan Argan Oil. You only need a couple of drops of this magical stuff to give your beard a healthy look, to keep it moisturized and (to quote the manufacturers again) “to make you kissable again”.

MOUNTAINEER BRAND NATURAL BEARD OIL
Mountaineer Natural Beard Oil is a scented oil available in two fragrances: Cedar and Fir Needle
If you love the scent of cedar, Mountaineer Brand Natural Beard Oil should be your brand of choice. Just like Leven Rose’s beard oil, this is also a completely natural product, handmade in West Virginia made with 100% natural and essential oils (grape seed oil, almond oil, castor oil as the base oils). It comes in a 2oz bottle which is twice the size than most beard conditioning products out there. Apart from cedar, the Mountaineer Brand Natural Beard Oil also has a wonderful Fir Needle scent. Another important thing to mention, and this should be applicable to all beard oils out there, is that this oil absorbs very quickly. Not only does it moisturize the beard, but it also keeps the skin underneath the beard soft and controls dandruff. With the Mountaineer Beard Oil the days of prickly, scruffy beards are gone. If you use it regularly, your beard will have a great shine and it will feel soft and smooth.

GRAVE BEFORE SHAVE VIKING BLEND BEARD OIL
Grave Before Shave Viking Oil has a quite thin consistency making it easy to distribute evenly throughout the beard
Vikings and beards go together like bees and honey. It is hard to believe that there were ever Vikings who did not wear beards. We highly doubt that they spent much time maintaining their hairy embellishments, but, in case you want to feel like a modern day Viking, here is something for you and your beard – Grave Before Shave Viking Blend Beard Oil. If you like your beard oils unscented, this one is for you. Also, it contains all natural ingredients with a hint of herbal scent, and just like any high quality beard conditioner, it takes care of your skin too. It will prevent flaking and dandruff, and will leave your beard looking very healthy and shiny. Grave Before Shave Viking Blend Beard Oil has a quite thin consistency which makes it easier to distribute evenly throughout the beard. The feeling it will give you is a silky, smooth, luxurious one. A word of warning, for all you owners of very frizzy beards with a lot of unruly hairs, our advice is to use balms rather than oils. Oils are perfect for more manageable beards that are easier to control.

BEARD BALM NATURAL LEAVE IN CONDITIONER
Environmentally friendly Beard Balm Natural Leave Conditioner is suitable for any style and growth stage

It stops split ends from appearing, it will untangle your beard in no time and soothe dry and flaky skin. It works with any length, style or growth stage. This is an environmentally friendly conditioner since it comes from sources that work together with local farmers and growers. The ingredients that make Beard Balm Natural Leave In Conditioner are excellent – there is grape seed and coconut oil mixed with lanolin and beeswax that are not only great moisturizes but also help with sculpting your facial hair the way you want it. Add to that essential oils of lemon peel, eucalyptus leaf, and geranium flower, which are all known to promote new growth and you’ll get a product that caters to many needs of beard wearers. Another thing worthy of a mention is the conditioner’s scent. Since it doesn’t contain any artificial ingredients, Beard Balm Natural Leave In Conditioner will leave your beard smelling wonderful and fresh.

BEARDBRAND SPICED CITRUS BEARD OIL
This beard oil is very popular both because of its amazing smell and how effective it is.
After spending months developing the best formula, guys at Beardbrand came up with the oil they claim is “the best beard oil on the market”. Considering the popularity of this oil, we can’t argue against it. Spiced Citrus Beard Oil has a light formula that makes the beard soft, shiny and conditioned. This oil combines natural fragrance of grapefruit with spices like clove and vanilla. This blend of scents turned out to be a huge success. But it’s not just the smell that caused this oil to be as popular as it is. Spiced Citrus Beard Oil won’t weigh down the beard or make it look and feel greasy. And if you just decided to grow a beard, this oil will help with the itchy phase. You can use it every day. Just rub it into the skin and beard after it’s washed.
