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.

Pretty good

Could be a little stronger but still worth it

Wonderful Scent

Love this one a lot. The scent is wonderful. The control it offers for managing fly away hair is great. Highly recommend.

Awesome!

Lathers well and smells great!

Great coffee scent, could last longer

The coffee scent is spot on. Rich deep coffee smell. I just wish the scent lasted longer. It fades over a pretty short time.

Another hit!

Another quality oil from Skully’s! A very nice mild scent that has a hint of citrus. It’s a great subtle one for everyday use.

Awesome oil.

I ordered 6 bottles of different scents. They smell great and I like them all.

New beard balm

Fresh

Another banger! The pine and citrus are not overwhelming and pair nice with the vetiver and ocean notes, definitely more on the nautical side which is my favorite profile.

I love this beard balm and oils. They have a unique scent that reminds me of the days I drank fireball.

Great Scent!

It’s mild and not overpowering very different scent but appealing.

The best products ever

I keep coming back and I can’t enough. Keep it up you guys!.

No.8 Is Great!

Received my No.8 oil, butter, and beard wash quickly. The scent is really nice and the product itself keeps my beard soft and looking good all day. The scent isn’t overpowering, but it there all day. It’s also a nice masculine scent with a sweet finish. Perfect for this time of year.

Private Stock new scent

I like the subtle scent. It is not overpowering and a little goes along way. It has a touch of sophistication to it.

Great products

I'm always skeptical about companies I never heard of, But I tried this company and seems softer and more maintained. They are definitely worth the try.

Outstanding!

My beard 🧔loved this beard oil!

Great scent I was looking for!

This was exactly what I hoped it would be. Helps soften and make my beard look and smell amazing, the scent reminds me of surf wax which is what I wanted.

No. 8 private stock

Got this along with winter spice. Both are great scents! I'd definitely consider the No.8 a lighter scent that can be worn all the time, upfront was a freshness that went into bourbon tobacco scent that was very pleasant. Winter spice blew me away, that should be available all year by how good it is too.

Skull's

They have the best beard oil,balm,wash and conditioner out there. Great service also..

Another good one!

Another keeper from Skully’s! Excellent scent and makes the beard soft & smooth!
