What Is Beard Oil?
Beard oil is a daily-use grooming product made to hydrate the skin underneath your beard and soften the beard hair itself. It helps prevent itchiness, dryness, split ends, and beard dandruff — all while keeping your beard looking and smelling sharp.
What Makes Our Beard Oil Different?
We handcraft our beard oils here in New Zealand in small batches to ensure freshness and quality. Each bottle lasts up to 12 months and is made with carefully selected ingredients we trust on our own faces.
What’s Inside:
- Organic Jojoba Oil: Mimics your skin’s natural sebum, absorbs fast, and helps prevent ingrown hairs.
- Vitamin E: Conditions the hair, supports healthy skin, and helps extend shelf life naturally.
- Sweet Almond Oil: Adds shine and softness with fatty acids and vitamins that support growth.
- Essential Oils / Fragrance Blends: We offer both scented and unscented options. Our scents are crafted from essential oil blends or skin-safe fragrance oils depending on the formula.

When & How To Apply Beard Oil
Use beard oil daily — ideally in the morning after your shower. This is when your skin and hair are most receptive to absorbing nutrients. You can also reapply 1–2 times throughout the day if needed, especially in dry climates.
Steps to Apply:
- Place 3–5 drops into your palm (longer beards may need more).
- Rub your hands together and work the oil deep into the skin and beard.
- Use a comb or brush to spread evenly and style as needed.
Why We Made It
We created our beard oil because we were frustrated with the cheap, itchy stuff out there. As bearded blokes ourselves, we needed something that actually worked — something that stopped the irritation, dryness, and split ends without leaving our faces greasy. So we made our own — and we still use it every day.
