Best Natural Beard Butter Recipe

Beard butter is a vital tool in the beardsman's arsenal, especially if he desires a soft, healthy, well-conditioned beard. Much like everything else we do, we take our beard butter quite seriously. 

Forging excellence was critical when developing our beard butter. With that being said, I want to walk you through:

1. What is beard butter?
2. How to apply beard butter?
3. Our ingredients, their benefits, and why we chose them!

WHAT IS BEARD BUTTER?

Beard butter is your go to beard care product for keeping your beard nourished and conditioned. No one like's a beard that is coarse, dry, and bristly. That's why we worked tirelessly to forge a beard butter that conditions your beard well, doesn't leave any greasy residue, and offers a pleasant overall experience. 

WHEN TO APPLY BEARD BUTTER!

I've talked to a lot of men that are interested in using beard butter, but think it is some foo foo product that takes a ton of time out of their day. This couldn't be further from the truth. It only takes a minute to apply and reap the amazing benefits.

As for 'when' to apply beard butter - you have a couple options, but ultimately this will be up to personal preference. The most traditional approach would be after you apply your beard oil. For me personally, I like to apply my oil, comb out the tangles, and then a minute or two after, throw my butter in. 

Another fantastic option is to apply your butter at night. Yes, at night! This is an amazing beard hack that allows you to wake up with a tremendously soft and luxurious beard. I know what you're thinking; 'but it'll get all over my pillow.' No! No it won't. We've had countless customers who've been blown away by this hack and how their beard just loves the nighttime butter routine. 

HOW TO APPLY!

It's easy. Simply scoop a dollop out with your finger and work it in between your hands. Our butter will melt with your body heat, so there's no clumps. After that, just work it in, on, and through your beard, specifically the outside. You can run a brush or comb through after to help evenly distribute.

As for how much of a 'dollop', I usually recommend you start small and work your way up or down based on need and desired effect. Personally I have a 5-6" beard that is very coarse and I use about a dime sized scoop.

OUR INGREDIENTS!

• Shea butter
• Mango butter
• Kokum butter
• Grapeseed oil
• Jojoba oil
• Essential oils (except for the unscented, obviously)

Shea Butter is an incredible moisturizer! It is rich in Vitamins A and E, as well as oleic and linoleic acids, which are great for strengthening the hair shaft and preventing breakage. With its natural SPF properties, it's great at protecting your beard from the sun. The vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids are excellent at keeping your beard healthy and even repairing damaged hair. 

Mango Butter is hypoallergenic, which makes it a great alternative to nut butters such as coconut. It's rich in vitamin C, which the body uses to produce collagen for hair and skin health. It's excellent at moisturizing and hydrating hair, with it's vitamins A and E. It can reduce breakage, and strengthen the hair follicles. 

Kokum Butter is a fantastic butter to restore dry and damaged hair. One leading dermatologist said that 'the vitamin E in kokum butter can nourish and strengthen hair follicles, supporting healthy hair development and reducing hair breakage.' It is non-comedogenic, meaning that it will not cause build up in the hair follicles. What's more, it's a light butter, and is packed with omega fatty acids that aid in skin and hair health.

Grapeseed oil is a nutrient rich oil, with things such as anti-oxidants. This amazing oil helps to promote healthy hair, nourishes the roots and skin, improves blood circulation (which also aids in hair growth). It seals in moisture, defrizzes and can even add a little shine. 

Jojoba oil is known as the oil that is most like human skin, which is why it is so commonly used in cosmetics. It moisturizes the hair from root to tip, locks in moisture, and hydrates wonderfully. It can also reduce frizz, prevent breakage.

WHY WE CHOSE THESE INGREDIENTS!

I feel like it's pretty self-explanatory by now why we chose these particular ingredients. But why did we choose these over some other ingredients. Well, not to go down another rabbit trail, I'll keep it brief. In essence, we had very specific goals in mind that we wanted to achieve with this butter that we felt these ingredients offered best over some others. This doesn't mean there aren't other great ingredients out there; it just means these are the ones that we chose.
