Over the years, our team has embarked on a journey to promote beard and skin health. During a 5 year period, we have conducted trials and did research. We have developed, tweaked and sometimes deleted formulas. We have tested many different carrier oils, essential oils, butters, and waxes. Through trial, error and just plain experience, we have created a line of natural grooming products that will provide the most benefit for your beard and skin.
Our goal is to provide education along with high quality products. Here is a list of ingredients that we use along with their benefits and properties. See our article on comedogenic properties.
