Most beard washes are just soap in disguise — packed with harsh sulfates that strip every bit of natural oil from your face. Every time you shower, you're undoing all the good your beard oil or balm just did.
You know the feeling: you step out, and your beard is straw. Flyaways everywhere. Skin underneath so itchy you want to claw at it. And you're stuck watching your $20 oil try (and fail) to fix damage that happened five minutes earlier, in the shower.
Here's the truth — a soap or shampoo was never going to cut it. Beards need a conditioner-first wash, not a stripped-down cleanser with a beard-friendly label slapped on.
That's why we built Kühn Co-Wash.
We flipped the ratio most brands use — instead of 80% cleanser and a splash of conditioner, ours is 90% conditioner and 10% gentle cleanser. Strong enough to wash away a day's dirt and grime, gentle enough to leave your natural sebum right where it belongs. Use it daily. Your beard won't know the difference — except that it'll actually be soft.
Aloe vera + Pro-Vitamin B5 — conditions and calms the skin underneath, not just the hair
Polyquaternium-10 — kills static and flyaways dead
A six-oil blend (marula, shea nut, meadowfoam, argan, jojoba) — mimics your skin's own oils for instant, no-grease softness
Keep washing with stripping soap, and you'll keep fighting the same itchy, brittle, flyaway beard every single morning. Switch to a real conditioner wash, and your beard holds its natural weight, keeps its curl, and comes out of the shower soft — not scorched.
If you're struggling with a dry, brittle beard and flyaways you can't tame, buying Kühn Co-Wash is the right call.
Use it every day in the shower. Wash out the grime, lock in the moisture, and stop fighting your own beard.
Full Ingredient List Distilled water, aloe vera juice, cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, polyquaternium-10, decyl glucoside, glyceryl monostearate, PEG-100 stearate, marula oil, shea nut oil, meadowfoam seed oil, argan oil, jojoba oil, d-panthenol (pro-vitamin b5), vitamin e tocopherol, edta, potassium sorbate.

The best Co-wash I've found! Mild, rich and almost creamy texture that really leaves my beard feeling clean and refreshed! And the apple bourbon scent is awesome!
Rick S.5/5Verified
Use it everyday. Doesn't dry out my beard. Birchwood is one of my favorites.
Mickey N.5/5Verified
Excellent product makes my beard silky and smooth.
Gene S.5/5Verified
This is my first time purchasing the co-wash and it’s unbelievable. I grabbed the Bair Canyon and I’m glad I did. It smells great and my beard feels so soft. I never achieved this texture with a major brand. Chris has been great responding when I have questions and I won’t look anywhere else. I’ve been a customer for about 3 years.
Andy M.5/5Verified
This stuff seriously softens up the beard. Coupled with the oil and the butter my beard has been the healthiest it has ever been. I only knocked one star off because the label disintegrated within a couple of weeks in the shower and got everywhere.
Justin L.4/5Verified
Great stuff
Scot M.5/5Verified
This brand has been a mainstay in my rotation pretty much since I grew my beard. Their stuff is top quality and the cowash has become static in my routine when I'm not doing a deep clean. Beard's softer, more manageable, and the scents are great.
Hayden W.5/5Verified
I like to shampoo and it makes my beard feel nice and soft. However one thing I would suggest is labelling. Soon as that label hits the water it starts rubbing off and when you're putting the shampoo on your hands in order to mix it in, you have paper also mixed in with the shampoo. The labelling I would change. People are showering and using the beard shampoo so therefore I wouldn't put paper labelling on it. Just put labelling directly on the bottom.
Norbert M.3/5Verified
First time using co-wash. My beard feels soft, non-greasy, and hydrated. You can also use it on your head hair with the same great results. I would definitely recommend it to my friends
Ezekiel C.5/5Verified
The Co Wash does a great job. My beard does feel soft and clean, and the scent is great!! As with all products, I've tried from Kune the ingredients are top notch and the customer service from Chris is Steller. Truly a great product!!
Russell A.5/5Verified
Perfect. Beard feels good with it being so soft and manageable. Recommend to anyone! Only regret is I didn’t buy it sooner.
Erik C.5/5Verified
I love the co-wash. Cherry pipe is phenomenal in scent. I like to use non- scented when I switch different scents with the beard balms. The only critique I would have is maybe just needs to gather up just a bit more
Curt J.4/5Verified
The cowash is like no other product. I’m also using the beard /hair/skin moisturizer, the oils and the newest and best addition is the hair crème medium hold. Very happy with their products. For those that have flyaways the haar crème ended mine in first use. Good stuff, better company
Samuel P.5/5Verified
My go to beard wash. I've tried countless products from so many different companies and Kühn is the only brand that works and smells great.
Andrew H.5/5Verified
I love the products and the energy Chris puts out. I had a shipping issue, I reported it and it was corrected immediately.
Paul H.5/5Verified
One of the best beard washes I've used and beard feels amazing after using it , highly recommend
Ty M.5/5Verified
Best beard wash I’ve tried.
Zagros Z.5/5Verified
I use this every day in the shower and only use shampoo once a week. My beard has never felt better!
Trent R.5/5Verified
Another great product. Will be continuing purchasing from this brand for life
Jomar R.5/5Verified
I’ve been using Co-Wash and I really like how gentle it feels on my beard. It cleans without stripping everything out, so my beard still feels soft and moisturized after I rinse it out.
What I noticed most is that it works well for keeping my beard fresh between regular washes. It has a smooth, creamy feel and makes my routine feel easier, especially on days when I don’t want anything too harsh. Overall, it’s been a great product for giving my beard a clean feel without drying it out.
Shawn W.5/5Verified
Great stuff. So fresh and so clean clean!
Lee F.5/5Verified
I have tried many beard products but returned to using Kuhn cowash because it is not only a great product but is more economical than others without sacrificing quality and effectiveness. The scent is very nice and my wife likes the scent too, which is a deciding factor.
Daniel D.5/5Verified
Great product. Exactly what I was looking for. Not greasy, makes my beard soft, and the fragrance is just right.
Kiarash Z.5/5Verified
Great product that leaves you beard soft.
Ronald G.5/5Verified
Didn't like 5he smell. I do like how soft it makes my beard
David T.2/5Verified
Have a hard time finding beard wash for my coarse beard, but this one is amazing. Softens it right up
Dan M.5/5Verified
Love the natural ingredients and scents! My beard loves it too!
David T.5/5Verified
I was missing a step in my beard routine. The routine I was missing in my option is the most vidal, your beard washing, or should I say co-washing. Not everyone that sells beard products, sells a beard co-wash, not only that, try to find a company that sells a variety of co-wash with an array of different scents. Now try to find one that won't strip the natural oils from your beard, and something you can use daily. KUKN Co-wash!!! ..... Highly recommended.
Lonnie D.5/5Verified
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.
Austin W.5/5Verified
The co-wash I ordered is light and leaves my beard feeling fresh and smooth.
Mark S.5/5Verified
This stuff is awesome. Leaves your beard good n' soft. Just know, this stuff is not supposed to lather like soap or shampoo does - it's meant to moisturize. Leave it in for at least a couple mins; the longer, the better. I slap it on first thing and rinse it out last - works every time.
Will D.5/5Verified
This cedar and leather beard shampoo smells great and has softened my beard.
Kenneth M.5/5Verified
great stuff. i will continue to reorder
Antony P.5/5Verified
Does a good job for daily use. But you do need a stronger shampoo to remove residual products. 👍🏻. An A+ for customer interactions. I had inquired about a sample of the CoWash and they sent a free full size bottle. Great people to deal with and overall top of the line products.
Samuel P.4/5Verified
This Sourhern Utah CO-WASH is great. Takes beard softness and texture to the next level.
The Southen Utah scent is great for summer or warm weather. The scent is sort of like a Citrus heavy IPA. Still trying to determine if the citrus leans more like a mango, pineapple or orange scent but nonetheless smells terrific.
Brian C.5/5Verified
I had not used any beard products in the past so I thought I would try something. I found Kuhn and tried it. It does a nice job, along with the oil and butter, of helping me control the scraggly beard and making it manageable and look groomed.
Paul H.5/5Verified
This works great my beard is softer after I use the co-wash love it
Keith C.5/5Verified
This stuff is amazing. Can’t believe I’ve been using regular shampoo all this time. Only been using for a week and beard is soft and less wiry. Great service great products
Matt K.5/5
Perfect! Best wash on the market, a must buy! I have a dense, curly beard and this wash is prefect for it. Cleans without stripping. Will undoubtedly be buying again and trying other products.
James D.5/5
Good conditioner but i like a gentle cleaner with more lather. May be right for some. Just not for me.

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.
