Beard Butter vs Beard Balm

When it comes to beard care products, there is an abundance of choices on the market. Sometimes it can be a little confusing picking the correct product that will give you the desired results your looking for. Hopefully this blog will help when it comes to choosing either a Beard Balm or Beard Butter.
To start off, Beard Butter and Beard Balm are both designed to help you style and shape your beard. However, there are a few differences we thought we'd share.
 

WHAT IS BEARD BALM?

Beard balm is a product with a mixture of several ingredients, most of which include things such as beeswax, Shea butter, essential oils, and natural carrier oils. Its purpose is to help keep your beard conditioned, healthy and to act as a styling agent to provide control and tame flyaway hairs. The Beeswax in beard balm gives your beard that extra hold and also helps to lock in moisture. Beard balm will help make sure that your beard simply looks tamed, great and well groomed.

WHAT IS BEARD BUTTER?

Beard butter is generally made up of all natural oils and butters such as Shea and mango butter to serve as a deep conditioner to soften and moisturize both your beard and the skin beneath. Natural butters such as, Shea butter absorb into the beard hairs giving your beard a fuller appearance. Beard butters generally provide a light hold to help tame flyaway hairs and to help shape your beard. Since beard butters usually lack beeswax or contain very little, beard butter is easy to spread and has a soft butter like consistency. This soft consistency will ensure full coverage to your hair follicles, skin and facial hair which helps to hydrate, deep condition and soften your hair and the skin beneath. Beard butter is the perfect option if you're looking to manage beard itch or have dry skin or dandruff.

CONCLUSION

Beard balm and beard butter are both great products. It comes down to what look and results you're going for . If you want more control and hold to tame flyway hairs, beard balm may be the choice for you. If you are looking for deep conditioning to soften and promote better healthy beard growth, but still want a light hold to style your beard, beard butter may be the the right choice. We recommend adding both to your beard care routine, since they each have different uses and benefits. Beard butter is excellent to use at night before bed to deeply hydrate your facial hair and skin. Beard balm is great to use during the day to tame, style and to provide hold.

Great product and great scent

Bada** Beard Balm

I ordered 4 different smelling cans of the beard balm. This stuff is legit. Keeps my beard in check and softens it up once it soaks in. They threw in a free solid cologne and I use it on my beard. My wife can't stop smelling my face. Don't hesitate to get some.

Smells Great

This is my first time using it, but I like the smell of it and it keeps my hands hydrated.

Good stuff

Some of the best oil I’ve used so far. Will definitely be buying some more soon.

Excellent sample pack

This was a great way for me to find a new scent. Now, I found a few favorites.

Excellent!!

This cologne lasts much longer than any spray cologne. Love it!!

Smells awesome

I loved the Irish mint! It's a must-have if you haven't tried it yet!

Fantastic Skully's Oils

Skully's oils are rich, thicker and have strong and lasting scents. The Beard Oil Sample and Travel Pack are great ways to try their oils and pick your favorite scents without plopping down a lot of money. Now guys - heads up here - my wife absconded with the Skully's Pale Rider (unscented) sample and is using two to three drops at night on her face for her face moisturizer! We're an older couple and she's tried tons of brand name and specialty facial moisturizers and swears Skully's particular blend of all-natural oils is the best she's found! Who knew?

Perfect 👌

I'm really enjoying this cologne smell and my wife does too.

Solid butter

Been using this butter for about a week, and I really like it. Being Irish, I love anything geared towards St. Paddy’s Day, and this butter is just what I needed to get me into the spirit. The chocolate and mint scent is very refreshing, and not overpowering. It’s also a very thick butter. I was pretty surprised. It does everything you need!

Beard oil

I got my samples of your beard oil today and they are awesome!!!
