Here's something nobody tells you when you buy your first bottle of beard oil: most of it never actually gets absorbed. It sits on top of your beard, looking shiny for an hour, then rubs off on your collar by lunch.
That's because most oils are refined — cooked with heat and chemical solvents to make them shelf-stable. Which also cooks out the vitamins and fatty acids your skin actually needs. What's left is a greasy coating with no substance behind it. Your beard looks "done" for a photo, then goes right back to itchy and dry.
You don't need more oil sitting on your face. You need oil that gets into it.
That's why every bottle of Kühn oil is cold-pressed, full stop.
No heat. No solvents. Just five oils, extracted the slow way so nothing gets destroyed in the process:
Shea nut oil — deep, lightweight moisture that doesn't sit heavy
Marula oil — fast absorption, balances oil production at the skin level
Meadowfoam seed oil — locks moisture in after the other oils do their job
Argan oil — vitamin E-rich, softens even coarse, wiry hair
Jojoba oil — chemically close to your skin's own oil, which is why the itch disappears
Stick with refined, heat-processed oil and you're stuck reapplying every few hours, still dealing with beardruff, still not sure it's doing anything. Switch to cold-pressed, and a few pumps actually last — beard feels conditioned instead of coated.
If you're struggling with a beard that looks greasy but still feels dry underneath, buying Kühn Cold-Pressed Beard Oil is the right call.
Two pumps, worked in right after your shower. That's it — no reapplying by noon, no grease on your shirt, just a beard that's actually soft where it counts.
Seriously great. Very thin and light compared to the usual tacky feeling of most beard oils. It feels like it actually gets absorbed into the skin rather than coating it. The scent isn't that pronounced and fades pretty quickly compared to synthetics, but when it comes to a product that boasts its natural ingredients, that's a good sign.
The beard oils have a great viscosity and feel great!! The butters emulsify easily and are not to heavy. My favorite scents are Mahogany, Palo Santo & Musk, and Cedar Leather
I've tried a lot of beard oils over the years, and Kuhn Beard Oils are definitely top quality. The scents are outstanding without being overpowering, and they keep my goatee feeling soft and healthy all day.
My personal favorite is Bair Canyon. If you're looking for a premium beard oil that smells incredible and performs even better, I highly recommend giving Kuhn a try
I love this oil and the scent. I choose the Palo Santo scent and it's smell is nice and clean without being overpowering. I have been using this for about 3 weeks and it really has made a difference in my beard appearance. I have a medium to long length beard and this helps to keep it looking fresh and clean. I'd also like to shout out the customer service they provided. I had forgotten to originally add this oil to my order and when I contacted them they fixed my error very quickly and were extremely friendly. It's nice when a business is responsive and accommodating. I will be ordering again from Kuhn.
The beard oil absorbs quickly, is lightweight, and non-greasy. It made my beard feel smoother after just one use. Paired with the co-wash, it's an excellent combination. Absolutely the best—I highly recommend it!
The products makes my beard super soft and my skin is no longer dry/itchy. I get the Cherry Pipe at first you get the Cherry smell up front but then the Pipe smell kicks in leaving a nice wood smell with hints of Cherry. Chris the owner is also awesome and is very helpful plus he backs up his products and replies back quickly. I definitely recommend and highly suggest emailing Chris if you have any questions he is like a beard wizard.
Great oil, keeps my face and beard hydrated with no losses in skin quality or breakouts. Only oil I use daily. Pump can get stopped up sometimes but usually resolves itself, give it a shake if not
First of all the performance of the beard oil is top notch. It is not greasy and I literally have no residue left in my hands after I work it into my beard. I could tell right away by using it that no cheap oils were used in the making of this product. The scent is just a big bonus, it smells really good and stays with me for most of the day. A great product and I highly recommend it! I now have two different oils from this company and will be ordering more.
I very much like this product. I shopped around for a bit trying to find a good place to get all the stuff I'd like for my beard care and decided to give this place a try and don't regret it.
I used another beard care company for years, so trying something new was honestly a little daunting for me. After trying Kühn though, I’m really glad I gave them a shot and honestly wouldn’t look back.
The ingredients feel extremely high quality and natural, and the oils leave my beard looking and feeling great without feeling greasy or heavy. I also appreciate supporting what seems to be a smaller independently run company instead of a huge corporate brand.
What really stood out to me though was the customer service. I had an issue with an order, and they handled it quickly, professionally, and honestly better than I expected. That kind of service goes a long way.
I constantly get compliments on both the look of my beard and the scents of the oils. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their products. Nothing but positive things to say, and I’m looking forward to trying more scents in the future.
Chris was very helpful and is a great guy to do business with. The beard products I ordered have been awesome and last all day. They smell amazing and they have made my beard really soft without leaving it oily like other brands. Misty Mountain,Cherry Pipe,and Mountain Whiskey smell amazing and there are plenty more scents I cant wait to try.
We try to be very strict about how natural the ingredients are in the products we use in our household, and Kuhn checks all those boxes without sacrificing on quality. I bought this for my husband as part of our second order from Kuhn and we have not been disappointed!
Very good products but I had ordered 2 bottles of the cedar and Amber and only received one. Had sent an email regarding this and never received a reply or my other bottle. Due to this will probably never order again. I understand mistakes on orders but it was never corrected and shows lack of respect for the customer who buys your products
1st time buyer. Happened to stumble on it, decided to give it a shot. I bought and highly recommend the Palo Santo and musk scent. Also as a bonus, this company offers matte finish butter with kaolin clay, always wanted to try it so I did. Very happy with these products and will be coming back as some point for more.
I love the product but even better is the customer service. Very responsive and able and willing to address any concerns with the shipment. Definitely will order again.
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.
