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.

Love Skully's - Savage didn't disappoint!

Great scent - and this was my first time using the beard butter which has really helped soften and condition my beard!

Beard butter

I use beard butter regularly, but using oil and balm wasn’t working while at work. I work outside in dirty dusty cold and hot conditions so oil was only making dirt stick to my beard like glue. So I tried just butter to help condition my beard while working and it’s worked great far less dirt and grime in my beard at the end of the day and it doesn’t stink.

The best

Great sent not greasey moisturizer great

Great Conditioner

I’m not so sure if they tweak this conditioner made my beard and hair more. softer. and I love the calmining scent of the Reaper.

Better improvement?

Works great on hair, beard and body. It seems they improve the quality of the product which seems much better than before.

Great Comb

I like the dual sides of the comb. The brush is alright but it smells synthetic instead of boar hair.

Grab it !!

It smells great, nourishes skin , hydrates beard - stock up you’re gonna love it! I recommend the bundle but whatever you can do just grab it.

Great Butter and Scent

I love this Reaper scent. It's more calming and pleasant. The butter is awesome, and this is the first time I've tried Skully’s butter. It's highly recommended.

Not to smelly!

Makes my mustache manageable with a lite fresh smell!

Great brush and love the skully logo

The beard oil is the best I've tried brings your beard to life and the scent stays on for up to 24 hours. I'm very impressed and will always buy from you guys. I'm actually interested in your solid cologne line that you have. Thanks skully A++++ the best in the business

Bright and refreshing scent.

Love this scent. It is a fantastic citrus scent that comes out strong.
It will pair well with my unscented beard butter but I am also thinking of getting peacemaker in the butter as well.

Robust, deep, and complex with tremendous character. Phenomenal!

The complexity of this scent is unbelievable. Each of the different notes combine to create something all together unique.
It is sweet, with a spicy chocolate orange, bourbon fragrance to me. The way each scent plays off the other will mix to a different profile for everyone who gives it a try.
Most definitely bold and warm from the anise and other spices.
Absolutely phenomenal! If you love the Rum Dumb scent as I do, this is another fantastic addition.

Nice Scent

Nice clean scent. I was hoping for more patchouli but I still enjoy it.

T I M B E R!!

One or the best scents I ever tried!! Will get this one again.

Medium Hold Balm

This is a medium hold balm, and Pale Rider truly is unscented, so you can easily pair it with your favorite oils. As a short to medium length beard, it's not fully strong enough to hold all the fly-aways for me yet, so I do wish it were a little stronger. But it helps style it overall and manages to keep a natural look, which is important! If I'm wearing a lighter scented oil, I add a drop of the oil into my palm to mix into the balm to help the scent profile carry through.

Combo

Good hold on the balm great scented oil.

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.
