Looking for instant results to a great beard? Looking for that magic pill? There isn't one.
BUT, like everything, with time, patience and the correct treatment, you'll reap the rewards. There are essential oils for beard growth.
They won't sprout chin foliage overnight, but used frequently, you'll notice results.
Now there are A LOT of beard oils on the market that claim to be 100% natural, but they are scented with synthetic fragrances ..... when was the last time you seen a candyfloss and bubblegum plant? They may have a natural base but if the synthetic fragrance oil isn't used in the correct ratio, it may actually be damaging your hair!
At Braw Beard, our beard oils are 100% natural.
In the Original Series beard oils, our base oils consist of hempseed oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E.
The others are the same but, a slightly different ratio with the addition of argan oil.
To build our scents, we use essential oils, these are concentrated liquids containing compounds from plants. Yes they are natural but again, used in the wrong ratio, they can be damaging too. However used in the correct ratio, they can have amazing benefits. You can use essential oils for beard growth.

You will notice at the end of our ingredient list on labels there will be some 'chemical sounding' names that can often put people off. These are just naturally occurring in essential oils and can actually be beneficial.
Linalool and limonene – are essential compounds for encouraging and promoting healthy, strong hair. Linalool is one of the main chemical compounds of Vitamin E. Vitamin E is commonly found in most hair and skin treatment products, and is considered a strong anti-oxidant.
When choosing a new beard oil, carefully consider your options.
Choose a natural product that will actually benefit the hair, rather than smell of your favourite candy.
At Braw Beard, we still make our beard oils ourselves, we know what goes into them and we take pride in that.
I hope this article has helped explain using essential oils for beard growth.
