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.

Solid Fall Cologne

The cologne is a solid scent for Fall. The cologne has a great balance of pumpkin and nutmeg to create an essence of Autumn. It works great with the Pumpkin Jack beard oil and butter. Nothing better than a unified scent. Hopefully this is a Fall scent staple for Scully's.

Double tap

Smells amazing the texture and feel in beard

Must have!

This was my first time ordering from Skully’s. When I saw the scent description for Autumn Reserve I couldn’t not order it. I’m so glad I did! It’s smells incredible and feels great in my beard. Skully’s earned themselves a new loyal customer 👏🏼

Can't beat it

Grabbed in as a free in cart add on and I'm blown away. The scent is actually really good, not too strong, but will last nearly all day from adding a little in the morning.

Perfect add on

Grabbed this as an add on to a smaller bundle in Timber and I'm extremely happy with it. It's not too greasy, nor too strong a scent and leaves beard feeling refreshed and moisturized.

The best

Grabbed this bundle as more first ever order. I went for Timber and backwoods for the woodsy scent and it is fantastic. The wash was clean, the oil and balm (and even got a conditioning butter) we're all great, not too oily or greasy but left beard refreshed all day long.

Zombie Brew butter.

This is a great clean scent.

Love the scents

I bought these for my husband and I always by timber balm and timber oil. I love the scent.

Autumn Reserve

Great fall scent. Love it.

Perfect fall scents

Love this bundle! Great value and I use them daily.

Love this scent

My girlfriend loves it too. So that's the real bonus. 😁😁😁

Seriously?

“Seriously?” is the question that first popped into my mind when I saw pumpkin spice beard oil and beard butter. Like there aren’t enough pumpkin spice products this time of year? For the record, I don’t actually have a problem with pumpkin spice, but I do tend to tease my friends who are obsessed with it (all female, of course). Then something occurred to me; there -are- a lot of ladies out there who -really- like that scent. So far, it’s working. I’ve gotten several compliments this week. I do mix it up, though. I use Skully’s “Flamethrower” beard oil and then seal it in with the Pumpkin Jack beard butter.

smells great

Shipping was very fast, and price is great compared to most other brands. This is a thin to medium viscosity oil and combs through my damp beard (approximately 6 inches and bushy) smoothly. Duration is on par with essential oils, largely dissipating in 2-3 hours with faint whiffs popping up later in the day. It has a medium strength scent that is fresh and crisp, so it won't be confused with a sweet dessert. The prominent notes to my nose are apple peel with cider and even apple cider vinegar. The oak and bourbon does not come through as much. My girlfriend and her mom love it too. I would definitely buy again.

Autumn Reserve - order soon

Great scent! Excellent for fall, but will likely be in rotation throughout the year! Get your order in before this seasonal scent is sold out.

Good stuff

The smell is fantastic.

Super fast

Package came very quickly, several days before I expected to get it. Considering they had to ship to the other side of the country, that was a nice surprise.

Mystery Beard Oil

Received my mystery beard oil (Timber). As always, fragrance is fantastic and quality is excellent. Keep up the good work.

I am new to Skully’s!

This was my first order with Skully’s, the scents were phenomenal and the products were of very high quality! It looked like the package they arrived in had torn open during transit, and some items were missing, but Chris took care of everything and replaced them promptly. Much appreciated! Loved the Autumn Reserve so much I went ahead and got the Fall kits (Zombie and Pumpkin) and look forward to giving those try. Wholeheartedly recommend Skully’s!

Dead man

Great product.

One of Skully’s finest.

Having purchased so many Skully’s scents and merchandise over the years I knew the moment Autumn Reserve was announced this one would be special. What many might claim was a blind purchase, rather than buying one item to test, I went full in. And oh how right I was.

I made this a solid purchase for two reasons.

First, this is a timeless classic scent profile and Skully’s once again hit a solid, bases loaded, home-run. As a stand alone scent it is positively refreshing and perfect. The first day it arrived I did not use it sparingly. The apple scent is front and center and the base scents of whiskey and oak add tremendous depth. Classic fall weather scent profile that honestly is versatile for all seasons.

Second, I often mix my Skully’s scents together. Autumn Reserves scent profile goes well with so many others. I mixed a few drops of Kentucky Mash with Autumn Harvest oil and butter. Perfect.

In beard and on skin feel is outstanding. Make sure to mix enough to cover your face and arms as well.

Favorite Skully’s scents. In no particular order.

Kentucky Mash, Bonehead, Timber, Winter Spice, Numbskull, and now adding Autumn Harvest. Aside from Winter Spice and Numbskull (both absolute perfection), the other four are perfect as a stand alone scents but also mix together nicely.

Black Brew and Irish Mint are also fantastic stand alone scents but truly shine when mixed together. Black Brew also mixes well together with Kentucky Mash, Bonehead, and Timber.

I also really like all of the scents that are citrus centered. One of the best is Buck Shot.

Beard wash, pale rider

After wash beard feeling soft/hydrated without a conditioner. Recommend this product.

Smell Gooooood….

and my beard is sawft!

Great Beard/Body Bar

Lathers very well and smells nice. Conditions and cleans nicely. I use Skullys conditioner after.

Very Good

Skullys makes a very good beard conditioner. Great price and free shipping.
