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.

A&W has competition

I love the set that I got . The sent brings back childhood memories of going to A&W with my dad, and I love it

One of the best scents

Great scent, nice consistency and quality ingredients.

Love them

Love the products. Dead man oil every night after shower and butter with cologne in the morning.

Great scent

The scent is bold and woodsy and musky all in one.

Shire's is Great

This is my favorite scent from any beard company. It is to bad it only comes out for a very short time so I stock up every spring so I have enough to last until nest spring. The beard oil and other products are great too. Well woth the expense. Thanks

Black Brew Beard oil.

A great coffee scent, not overpowering.

Double Tap

I finally found a scent I like that doesn’t smell too sweet

Excellent products

Great scents. Great performance.

The best beard oil scent i have ever had.

This is by far my favorite scent of all time. I ordered some of the Irish mint seasonal.. and they tossed in the free beard oil.. it was number 8.. I have bought the kit (the solid cologne is frigging awesome).. and I have bought several bottles of number 8 oil to make up my mismatch of products...( long beard needs oil).. this is the best stuff I have ever smelled. My GOD

This beard kit is amazing it's st Patrick's day all year long

Rum Dumb beard and body butter

The rum dumb is my wife and my favorite smell. The beard and body butter keeps my beard soft and table free throughout the day and night. I truly enjoy the way it smells all day and felling soft. My grandsons have never known their Paw Paw without a beard. They have touched it their entire lives, so I keep it up with Skullies products.

Smooth and Cultured. Kentucky Mash

Kentucky Mash is sweet on the open with a nice light to medium oil that spreads thru my beard nicely. Not a heavy oil. I have a big white beard and Skully has it feeling soft and manageable again. The middle and close of the oil is about the same and I like i can still smell a wiff of it later. I also use the beard balm and butter which hands down is the best I've ever used and the balm is not tacky like other brands. Its soft and applys great and dont leave me with those little clumps you have to break down and waste time with.
Kentucky Mash is exceptional! A+

Irishmint Beard Balm is Awesome!

I love the Irishmint Beard Balm. My wife even said that is perfect for every day, all year round!

“Straight vacation vibes”

Isla De Muerta is a solid one. The coconut hits right away, but it’s not that fake sunscreen type—it’s smooth and actually smells good. Definitely has that vacation vibe to it. It’s not loud, just something you catch throughout the day. Easy to wear and I’ll definitely keep using it.

Awesome Fragrance

Love the smell of Lucky Beard Balm I also bought the beard oil and the solid cologne as well .

Rum Dumb oil and butter

I have come to really like the smell of the oil and butter. I don’t know why it took me so long to start using the butter but it’s definitely helped my beard Eloy more than I would have thought. Great stuff. I need to order more soap soon.

I love smell and the feel of the oil.
Irish Mint

I love the smell of the Irish-mint! I’m really picky when it comes to beard oil. Skullys is not the greasy feel, it’s just right for me.iI’m giving it 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bonehead

I tried the sample bundle as im new to the beard oils. Loved the bonehead and Deadman. I decided on a bottle of bonehead as the sample was the milder smelling of the two. New bottle is a bit stronger on scent then sample. Also going to try the softener.

Perfect blend

I've tried other companies here and there. Always come back because of their quality blends and scents.

Great smelling, just a little pricey

I love solid colognes for their convenience and ease of use. I was looking for a more tropical scent, specifically with coconut tones and this one doesn’t disappoint. It smells great and it’s exactly what I cannot find anywhere else. My only quibble is that compared to others these are a little pricier. But then again, I made the purchase anyway and am happy I did!

Thanks for the awesome review Michael!

We're glad you're enjoying the tropical coconut scent of Isla De Muerta. We focus on small-batch quality and unique scents you can't find anywhere else, so it means a lot to hear you're happy with it.

Appreciate the support!

Amazing beard wash smells fantastic. First time using it leaves my beard feeling clean would definitely buy again
