Hey, it's The Barber's Wife!
I'd like to introduce you to the ingredients of our beard oils. The ingredients were thoughtfully chosen and it took a few years to perfect the formula, but ensuring it was just right was well worth it. Things we considered when narrowing down the ingredient options include: the benefits they offered, if they were safe to DHT (which is an important part of development and growth of facial hair), and if they were friendly to many skin types. One of the inspirations for our beard oil was keeping the formula simple and avoiding unnecessary chemicals and fillers, such as silicones, that can dry out hair or prevent nutrient absorption or clog pores. All of our beard oils consists of a base, and some of the beard oils also include essential oils or fragrance oils.
The Base:
-Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) Seed Oil
-Golden Jojoba (Simmondsia Chinensis) Oil
-Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus) Oil
-Castor (Ricinus Communis) Oil
The purpose of the base is to deliver nutrients, protect the skin and hair, cover rough hair bristles, and carry any added fragrance or essential oils. The vitamins and fatty acids in the base ingredients are what allows the beard oil to support a healthy facial hair environment by moisturizing, hydrating, softening, and nourishing. The ingredients' properties and their proportions in the formula make our beard oil well-absorbing, lightweight, and non-comedogenic, which makes it friendly to many skin types.
Additional Ingredients*:
-Peppermint Oil (Certified Organic)
-Fragrance Oil
The purpose of the additional ingredients is to enhance confidence and positive feelings through smelling fantastic. The scented beard oils are not meant to function as a cologne on their own because the concentration and reach of fragrance ingredients in a cologne would be potentially overwhelming or irritating. The scented beard oils are meant to provide a scaled down yet thoroughly enjoyable scent experience. The scents pair well with colognes though if you want a more powerful scent presence, which is The Barber's favorite way to wear them most days.
*some but not all of the beard oils contain an additional ingredient for scent. the additional ingredients are generally only 0.5-3% because the beard oil scent is not meant to be overpowering and we follow IFRA standards for safe fragrance concentration and ingredients.*
