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.

I have ordered from Skully's for the past year. Every time I order something different. Every time it's my new favorite! I love the oil blend and the consistency of their balm and butter. Can't beat it.

M-90

Oil , conditioner and balm are all great quality. The scent is awesome and it should become a regular scent instead of seasonal.

Marooned Beard Oil

Another home run from Skully’s! This scent is epic! It’s like a vacation in a bottle! As with all of the products from Skully’s, this oil is high quality and the scent lingers but is not overpowering. Great job!!

Great scent!

Skully’s beard care products are top quality products. I’ll definitely be purchasing more solid cologne. I absolutely love the scent of the Marooned product line. It reminds me of Kauai.

Long lasting freshness

Nice beard oil for the summer. It will give you a tropical vibe with a scent that lasts all day.

Limey

It smells like refreshing limes: peel, juice, and all.

Nemesis Review

A++++

Very good scent. I love Skully's beard balms. If you have a thick, somewhat unruly beard as I do, Skully's balm is the best I have found in many years. It is not greasy. It does soften your beard. It tames your beard. As far as scents, I have jyst tried this July 4th and the Sire's rootbeer. Both are excellent. A+

Great beard oil

Flamethrower oil paired with the balm smells amazing. It moisturizes well and isn't greasy.

Love this smell

I’ve gotten compliments with this cologne.

Good stuff

I’ve been through quite a few beard butters and I finally found my brand. This stuff is good. Good texture. Works in evenly. I’m sold.

Absolutely love it

I love the smell of this oil and i also bought this butter. The coconut really stands out. Wife really likes it also.

Smells great

I received my Timber oil and butter today and it took me a little while to be able to smell it and it smells great. I get a nice clean fresh smell from it. I was expecting more of a woodsy scent but I don't get that. Like I said I get a nice clean fresh scent and i really like it. My beard feels soft. It's a lite scent but it last a long time.

Just Right

The scent is pretty close to being spot on, it definitely smells better after a minute or two. It isnt overpowering, and you dont want that with this, its not a cologne-type scent. But it isnt weak either, which is always disappointing.

Solid smells

Bought 3 solid colognes,Havana smoke,juggernaut and no.8 love em and been using em daily.
