The Groomed Man Co. beard oils are the best beard oils for your beard as they're lightweight, fast absorbing and non-greasy. Our Australian made beard oil contains the highest quality carrier and essential oils in their purest form. Our customers have repeatedly said our beard oil is the least oiliest beard oil they have tried. As one of Australia's first beard oil companies back in 2014, we have worked alongside industry leading manufacturers here in Melbourne, with over 35 years experience in botanical essential and carrier oils. All of the ingredients used in our Australian made beard oils are of the highest possible grade in terms of quality. We use certified organic carrier and essential oils where possible, and due to the ingredients not being overly processed, you're getting the therapeutic benefits instead of just fragrance. Our products have been formulated to meet strict global cosmetic regulations, with customer safety a priority every step of the way. Our beard oil base is a blend of certified organic argan oil, jojoba oil and sweet almond oil. While these ingredients are much more expensive than other oils such as grape seed, canola, sunflower and avocado oil, they each target the hair and skin and are considered the gold standard when it comes to carrier oils in the hair and skin care industry. We stand behind out products and are confident that you'll be impressed by the quality and experience each bottle provides.

The amount of beard oil you should use depends on the length and thickness of your beard, as well as personal preference. A general guidelines is to start with a few drops (usually 2-3) in the palm of your hand, and then massage the oil into your beard and skin. You can adjust the amount as needed based on your beard's needs and the desired level of hydration. It's always best to start with a smaller amount and add more as needed, rather than over-applying. 

• Short beards require 2-4 drops
• Medium beards require 4-6 drops
• Large beards require 6 or more drops

Beard oil and beard balm are both grooming products used to hydrate and care for facial hair. However, they have some key differences: 

• Consistency: Beard oil is a liquid oil that is quickly absorbed into the beard and skin, while beard balm is a thicker, semi-solid product that provides more hold and control for styling.
• Ingredients: Beard oils typically consist of a blend of carrier oils, such as jojoba, argan, and coconut oil, that are designed to moisturise and condition both the beard hair and skin. Beard balms often contain additional ingredients such as beeswax and shea butter, which provide a light hold for styling, as well as additional hydration for the skin.
• Use: Beard oil is used primarily as a leave-in moisturiser to hydrate and soften the beard and skin, while beard balm is used for both hydration and styling. It is ideal for taming unruly beards, defining the beard shape, and providing a light hold.

 

In conclusion, both beard oil and beard balm have their unique advantages and can be used together or separately, depending on your beard and styling needs. You can learn more about the differences in our blog about beard oil vs beard balm.

There are many great ingredients that can be used in beard oil to help nourish and moisturise facial hair and the skin beneath it. Here are some of the best beard oil ingredients:  

• Carrier Oils: These oils are used as a base for the beard oil and help to moisturise and nourish the skin and hair. Some of the best carrier oils for beard oil include jojoba oil, argan oil, and sweet almond oil.
 
• Essential Oils: These oils are added to the carrier oil to give the beard oil a pleasant scent and provide additional benefits for the skin and hair. Some of the best essential oils for beard oil include cedarwood oil, sandalwood oil, and peppermint oil.
 

 Overall, the best beard oil ingredients are those that provide both moisturising and nourishing benefits to the skin and hair, while also smelling great. It's important to choose high-quality, natural ingredients to ensure the best results.

All of our beard oils and other products in our men's skincare and grooming line are all made here in Melbourne, Australia. We work with industry leading manufacturers to develop the highest quality products using superior ingredients (and in percentages that actually work). We stand behind all our products having tried hundreds of men's grooming products over the past decade, and put you first every step of the way over profit. You'll notice from the first use our products look, feel and act differently due to being made at the highest standard.

You may have noticed that some beard oils come with a dripolator and some come with a rubber squeeze cap with pipette. Our beard oil has a dripolator cap inside the bottle as they're a superior choice for a few reasons listed below: 

• While rubber squeeze caps may seem more convenient, they're not very compatible with oil in the long term. Oil will slowly eat away at the rubber which can leak into the product impacting the integrity of the beard oil. 
• Rubber squeeze caps also promote over usage of product due to the dispense method. This means you tend to use the beard oil much quicker, and in turn have to repurchase much sooner which isn't saving you money. Our dripolator cap was made specifically for the viscosity of the oil making it easy to get the beard oil out, and in even drops. A bottle of our Australian made beard oil lasts many users well over 6 months.
• Dripolator style beard oils are much easier to travel with and are less susceptible to breakage. As oil can slowly wear the rubber squeeze caps down, they can quite frequently rip. Oil and your baggage are not compatible.

To use and apply beard oil, follow these simple steps:  

1. Wash your beard: Start by washing your beard with a natural beard wash and warm water to remove any dirt, debris, or excess oil. 
2. Dry your beard: Use a towel to pat your beard dry, being careful not to rub it too harshly, which can cause damage to the hair and skin. Make sure to dry the beard and skin properly as trace water elements can lead to dry, flaky skin.
3. Dispense the oil: Dispense a few drops of beard oil into the palm of your hand, depending on the length and thickness of your beard. 
4. Spread the beard oil: Rub your hands together to distribute the oil evenly, then apply it to your beard and skin, starting at the base of your beard and working your way up to the tips. 
5. Massage the oil: Use your fingers to massage the oil into your beard and skin, making sure to cover all areas, including the mustache and sideburns. 
6. Comb your beard: Use a beard comb or brush to distribute the oil evenly and to help shape your beard as desired. 
7. Repeat as needed: You can apply beard oil once or twice a day, depending on your beard and skin needs. Be sure to adjust the frequency of use as needed to achieve the desired results. 

 By following these simple steps, you can effectively use and apply beard oil to keep your beard and skin healthy, hydrated, and well-groomed. You can learn more on our blog on how to use and apply beard oil.
