Discover Your New Favourite Beard Oil Conditioner.
At Braw Beard, we now have a wide selection of beard oils to choose from. For new customers, it may be a little overwhelming, wondering what beard oil to choose.
We have the Original Series which includes the first 3 beard oils we ever made, Grafter, Lover and Wulver. Secondly, there is also the Black Series which includes the more expensive Arctic Explorer 1813, Grand Eckson 1918 and Jarls Northman 1263. Thirdly, there is also the Anniversary Series which we add to ever October to celebrate another year of Braw Beard. Finally, there are various other options.
First, let me break them down to base oil differences between the Original Series and the rest. After that, I will explain the scent profiles and benefits which should help you narrow down the Braw Beard oil for you.
What beard oil uses which base oils
The base oils used in the Original Series - Grafter, Lover and Wulver are
Hempseed oil
Jojoba oil
Vitamin E
As we progressed, we understood the benefits of Argan oil, we added it to future products. Similarly, the rest of the Braw Beard oils use a unique ratio of:
Hempseed oil
Argan oil
Jojoba oil
Vitamin E
The benefits of these oils are as follows...
Hempseed oil – contains a vast array of good fats, vitamins and proteins that are beneficial to the body, not just the hair.
It contains omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids which are known to stimulate hair growth. The oil promotes blood circulation on the scalp too, it’s easily absorbed by the hair which can help strengthen the hair, reducing breakages.
Jojoba oil – it’s an oil extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant. It is rich in vitamins and minerals too. This oil is mostly used as a moisturiser which is great for the scalp to reduce dandruff, itchiness and irritation.
Vitamin E – the antioxidants in vitamin E oil have been known to repair damaged hair follicles and hair shafts. It is a deep moisturiser for your hair and skin which reduces dry skin and irritation. Vitamin E oil has been known to protect your hair from the elements too.
Argan oil – is extracted from the kernel found in the argan tree. Known as liquid gold, argan oil helps repair damaged hair and split ends. It is often used as a leave-in conditioner (which our beard oil is anyway) which can help reduce irritation, inflammation, sores and itchiness in the skin below under your facial hair.
We use essential oils to build the fragrance of our beard oils. So, what beard oil has which essential oils?
