Who makes the best beard oil | Reddit Post

[Link To Original Reddit Post](https://old.reddit.com/r/BeardTalk/comments/me1dzg/pine_tar_soap_vs_beard_wash/)

Let me tell you why I feel my beard oil is different than what you've used before.

Cold pressed oils vs refined A lot of companies use refined oils instead of cold pressed. Refined oils are oils harvested from their source via heat and chemicals. Some oils can only be harvested this way, like vegetable oil. Some oils don't, they can be cold pressed or refined. Refining is cheaper, but the heat and chemicals remove a lot of the natural healing and moisturizing benefits. I only use cold pressed oils. See if you can find out what you've been using. It's not easy to find sometimes. Theres a really popular beard bra...company who won't tell you anywhere on the site, you have to call and ask customer service to find out that they use all refined oils. Funny, one of the most expensive beard oils on the market uses all refined oils.

Shea oil I use shea nut oil. Unrefined shea butter is amazing, the oil is amazing too. I don't know why, but I've never seen any other oil use it. It's thick and creamy and plays well with other ingredients. It's in almost everything I make. It absorbs fully and almost instantly. Google the benefits of shea nut oil (aka karite oil)

Remaining ingredients The other oils I use are jojoba and argan, like a lot of other companies, but the magic is in marula oil and meadowfoam seed oil. These oils are crazy. Look em up too.

Total package Where I think my product stands out is the total package. The look, smell, performance. My labels are made of wood and I fire brand them by hand. The bottles are black and square with a serum pump top. The scents are full notes so it changes throughout the day keeping it from getting old.

Anyway, leave a note in your order if you end up ordering anything. Remind me of this convo. I'll send a couple more samples.

How do you apply beard balm/butter?

Warm a small amount between your palms until it melts, then work it through — damp or dry, doesn't matter much. Focus on the flyaways, balm works better for that.

Can I use shampoo or hair conditioner on my beard?

Yes, you can — though it's better to use our co-wash. It's sulfate-free and keeps your hair and beard feeling moisturized instead of dried out, which is what regular shampoo sulfates will do to it.

Are beard oils safe?

Yes — ours is non-comedogenic, five real cold-pressed oils, no phthalates or filler. If you've got a known nut or seed oil allergy, check the ingredients first like you would with anything else you put on your skin.

What beard products do I actually need?

Co-wash in the shower, then oil, butter, or balm after you towel off. That combo alone will make your beard really soft — add balm on top of the oil or butter if you also want hold.

Does beard balm/butter/oil help my beard grow?

No — nothing you put on your face makes hair grow faster, that's genetics. What balm does is stop breakage and calm the itch that makes guys pick and over-trim, so you keep more of what you're already growing.

How much beard balm should I use?

Usually more than you think — I see a lot of guys use too little. Just keep applying until it feels like enough for the length of your beard. Longer beard, more balm. Thicker beard, more balm.

What is beard balm used for?

Balm's heavier and thicker than oil or butter, so it holds. That's what keeps your flyaways down and helps your beard keep its shape through the day, on top of conditioning it.

Is beard balm the same as beard butter?

Nope. My balm's about 30% beeswax, my butter's only around 5% — so butter still has a touch of hold, just way less than balm. Both condition your beard, balm just adds a lot more hold on top of that.

Should I use beard butter at night?

Sure. Good option if you want deep conditioning working overnight without any hold or shine the next morning.

How often should I use beard butter/balm/oil?`

Daily. Damp beard, right after your shower.

Do you use beard butter or oil first?

You can use both, if you want — I'd do oil first, it's easier to apply butter on top after. But you don't have to use both. Either one alone works fine, oil for a normal day, butter if your beard's especially dry.

Can I use beard oil, balm, and butter together?

Yes, and a lot of guys do. Oil or butter for daily conditioning, balm on top if you want hold. Just don't use oil and butter in the same routine — pick one based on how dry your beard's running that day.

I use beard oil/balm/butter but my beard is still really dry and unruly, why?

A well moisturized beard starts in the shower and what you wash it with. If you wash your beard with shampoo or regular bar soap, your beard is being stripped and will be very dry. You need to use a conditioner or co-wash.

I'm new to beard products, what's the difference between oil/balm/butter?

They are all designed to moisturize your skin and beard, they just do it in a slightly different manner. Keep it simple. Short beards, beard oil. A bit longer, beard butter. Longer and/or thicker unruly beards, beard balm. Start with an oil and butter if you're new, then go from there.

What's the shelf life of oil/balm/butter?

12 months if stored in a cool, dry place.

How much do I use of oil/balm/butter?

Depends on the length of your beard, but most don't use enough. You need enough to cover all of the hair follicles. It's difficult to apply too much, and very easy to use too little.

How long does the scent last?

You should expect 6-8 hour from our scents.

Will it stain my clothes?

No, it shouldn't. Most beard products leave a greasy film on the outside of your beard which can rub off onto your clothes. Our products are designed to absorb fully so there shouldn't be any transfer onto your shirt or other clothing.

What if I order a scent I don't like?

TOO BAD! I already got your money. JK. If you order any product from kühn and you're not happy with the scent, we will replace it with the scent of you choice. We'll never make someone keep a scent they won't wear.
