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.

Absolutely dig the scents I've used so far, nemesis and numbskull are my favorite so far. Long lasting scent and excellent feel throughout the day.

Winter Spice more like LOVE IT SPICE

I have had to shave for the past 23 years of my life due to career and hobbies. When I changed careers just recently I stopped shaving! I was about to shave again because of the scratching and irritation. I got this beard oil to see if it would help, HAVEN'T SHAVED YET!!!! The scent is fantastic, strong enough to smell but not overpowering!!!!!!

This is the first time I’ve tried this product and I was amazed at the quality. I definitely will be buying plenty more in the near future

Amazing scent profile!

Another amazing scent profile from Skully’s! I really like this one for the Holiday Season!

100% Recommend

I got the Beards Never Die sample pack and this scent was in my top 2. I ended up getting both Nemesis and Bonehead because it was too hard to choose between the distinct yet incredible scents, let alone how smooth and moisturized they leave my face skin feeling.

Double Tap beard oil and conditioner

Skully beard products are always consistent and awesome for your beard grooming. The conditioner help keep my beard feeling healthy and clean and using the oil right after give it a nice shine and wonderful smell that lasts all day. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for products to help maintain and keep your beard looking and feeling nice!

Pumpkin Jack is amazing

My wife absolutely loves the smell of Pumpkin Jack. I, too, love the smell. It was one of the best beard oils I have tried out. The scent lasts for over 12 hours.

Great Beard Balm

I purchased the unscented so that I can use with other scents.
Very good balm with light to medium hold. Melts easily in hand, easy to apply, tames the fly aways and conditions/softens the beard nicely.

Timber Beard Oil

Received my Timber Beard Oil today and I love the scent it is there but not overpowering and love the softness of my beard after using it.

Awesome

I love this beard oil. Softens and gets rid of bearddruff and my wife loves it. Smells awesome. Definitely will purchase again.

New Oil

I’ve only used it one time, but it says good as the other products I have bought from your company. They’ll be no issues.

Great Scent

Another great scent from Skully's. I found that this scent lasts all day. I also paired it will the balm and oil.

Good oil

Figured i try this since it was on sale. Thought it would have more of a nutmeg smell. But definitely good oil. I prefer the Pale Rider. But that's my opinion definitely try it. 🤘

Finally found a good unscented beard oil.

Definitely satisfied. Easy to work with and not greasy. Makes your beard extremely soft and helps get rid of that bearddruff. Will buy again.🤘
