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.

Fantastic fall scent

Ordered the bundle and am amazed they nailed such a fantastic fall scent that is also masculine and cologne background, 100% SUGGEST THIS ONE!!!

GREAT STUFF

I love me tobacco scents and this one it’s not exception. If you are looking for something with tobacco and sophisticated, get this one for sure!

Crisp with an airy vibe

Smells fantastic! Definitely my top summer night or late summer oil now. Wish I picked it up sooner. Light but with a nice medium light viscosity when applying it into my skin. Very well made. A+

Autumn Reserve (Fall Limited Edition) Beard Oil 1 oz. -Available Until 11/15

Cleans better than expected

It doesn't take much to lather just enough to get everything clean. Any oil in the beard immediately dissipates. The scent is about half the fragrance of the beard oil, with the conditioner being the other half of it.

Beard oil

The maroon and shark bait ,pretty much everything is awesome and great smells for my beard.

Shark Bait Beard Oil

Smells great!!
Quick delivery from these guys...Great products!

great

the best beard oil ever used. the aroma is a great pick me up.

Modern classic

A very clean scent that is as commanding as it is nostalgic. Feels like a fresh $50 haircut and exudes professionalism without being haughty or overbearing. Great for anything from running errands to a retirement dinner!

Awesome Summer Scent

Zesty, sweet and creamy. If you like citrus scents with a touch of sweetness, then this is for you!

IT FEELS LIKE FALL 🍁

Love the contrast between Apple and Oak. Not boozy with the aged whisky at all. I have enjoyed Skully’s products since back in 2019. If you all looking for a great fall scent, I would absolutely recommend this one.

Get Your Marooned While You Can

If you're like me and desire to be on the beach 24/7/365, stock up. This is the cleanest tropical beard oil you can find - not overwhelming, deliciously aromatic, and satisfying to apply. I buy 3 at a time. Do it.

Buttery smooth and smells like pineapple. It's good stuff.

Good Stuff!

Got mine today! Wonderfull smell. Starts with apple, just the right amount, then fades into a nice woodsy scent. Also left my beard soft. I’ve tried many beard oils, and this is one of the few that made a difference I could feel.

Stolen

When I got the cologn, my daughter 11 wanted to smell them. She took my Shark Bait!!!!!!!

Die First Then Quit Tank Top

Got 3 oils and balms. They all smell awesome. Been searching for good smells that I like and finally found them. Shark bait and marooned are awesome. Thanks!

Beard oil

I love the scents and the feeling the oils do to my beard.

Coconut island

The oil soaks into my beard instantly and does not give it a greasy sheen. Makes my beard soft, supple, and it smells amazing. I had a woman even ask me if I was wearing a pheromone cologne. I told her its Skully’s Famous Beard Oil.

the greatness of rum dumb!!

Tried this scent in the solid cologne. It’s such a great long lasting strong and sweet smell that i use it for all things. when i reorder ill also be getting the oil.

Amazing beard oil

This beard oil is amazingly good. Keep you freshly scented all day. Fantastic product.

Wow!

Excellent beard and body bar. I’ve just used it on the beard and face. The soap gives out an amazing lather that is a creamy explosion of goodness. Just a couple swipes on the beard is all you need. The soap doesn’t strip the beard—it conditions, cleans and moisturizes nicely.
I like it so much that I ordered the aqua charcoal bar the next day.

Nice Unique Scent

I’m really enjoying this one. Very nice lime verbena with a subtle hint of coconut.
The scent is not strong or overwhelming, yet it lasts all day. It is a very smooth pleasant scent.
No beaches in NM but having this one takes me back to vacations at La Jolla Shores.
Get ya’ some before the deadline
Well done Skulley’s.

Deadman product.

I really do like the scent, the product is very easy to use/apply. If I had to find an issue, I would like the scent to last a little longer. But, carrying the tin in your pocket works very well for the last minute meeting/outing. Thanks again!!
