Whisky Beard Balm Project
Facial hair requires its own particular care and maintenance. Without extra moisture, the skin underneath can become itchy, flaky, and dry. Beard oil and balms help promote healthy facial skin, as well as keeping beards soft and full.
This Whisky Beard Balm is incredibly easy to make. The majority of the balm is comprised of our Beard Oil Base, which contains luxurious hair-loving oils like jojoba, argan, and fractionated coconut. A dash of yellow beeswax is added to turn the liquid into a solid balm that also gives the beard a bit of structure. It’s a firmer beard balm compared to some - if you prefer a softer product, reduce the beeswax.
The balm is scented with Scotch Whisky Fragrance Oil, which has notes of vanilla, cedarwood, and musk. It’s a complex unisex fragrance oil that you won’t want to stop smelling.
