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 this one! Cinnamon is one of my favorite scents.

Almost a Big Red chewing gum scent

I like this scent. My wife commented that it was a little too strong at first, but after it dies down a bit, she seems to like it more.

It smells

Just as advertised, like rootbeer... if you like smell of rootbeer, then it's highly recommended

M-80 is Awesome!

Wow, M-80 is an awesome scent and the oil and butter are a great product. I get great compliments on the scent. It’s not overpowering but subtle and pleasant.

Love Skullys

Best system I've used so far. Love the smells. Mystery oil i was sent is my new favorite 😍 must order more

Root bear

Wife said I smell yummy. I guess I better stock up

Root Beer Addiction

I don’t drink pop at all but this Root Beer Oil, Balm and Shampoo scent smells so good that I literally crave an actual Root Beer. I highly recommend this scent, you will not be disappointed.

Great Scent!

I recently got Juggernaut solid cologne and I really like it! I rub some on my wrists and neck, and the scents sticks with me most of the stay, while being quite subtle.

Great product

This is a great oil smells clean

Quality oils and balms

I ordered the sample pack to find 1 or 2 scents to buy, but after using all of them I can't narrow it down to 1 or 2. Definitely gonna have to have a rotation of scents!

Great beard oil

Best bead oil I’ve ever used.

Awesome

just like the rest of the beard products ive been using of there this no different smells great scent lasts all day and leaves my face feeling soft and nongreasy bcuz it absorbs quickly

I feel like a Bonehead

I was not overly familiar with Skully’s when I ordered their
Sires kit. I received a bottle of Bonehead with the order and looked it up, and not impressed, set it aside in my trade pile. A few days later I was just looking for something different and thought I would give it a try. Wow. Everyone loved it, including my wife. A few days later, I was getting in a new order. Definitely one I will be reordering again.

beard balm

Outstanding balm, smells excellent, promotes softness control!

Great sent

I love your solid cologne. It's perfect for the days when I don't want to wear a ton

Excellent!!!

Really enjoy these products. A little goes a long way! Can't tell you how many compliments I received while wearing these. I will definitely be buying again!
Highly recommend!

Amazing oil and scent!

I was skeptical at first because this was my first time buying beard care that isn't off the shelf at a big box store. Best decision I ever made! The way all of the products work is top notch, my beard has never felt so soft and hydrated. Savage smells amazing it's one of those scents that get better the longer it's in, at first it smelled citronella like but after a few minutes you start getting a sweet citrus mixed with a somewhat earthy and nutty scent. It's absolutely a unique scent and I've gotten complements on it from my GF as well as coworkers at work. The scent lasts all day but it's not overbearing but just right where you can notice it. I've only had the product two days as of this review, but my beard is in heavenly bliss right now! Will be the only brand I use from now on!

Great, long lasting

Love this scent! Stays with me for a long while, gets compliments.

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
