Carrier Oils
The carrier oil is a type of vegetable oil that has been derived from a type of nut, kernel, or seed of a plant. Every carrier oil will provide a unique therapeutic effect.
- Organic Jojoba Oil: Will give your beard hair a soft and smooth feeling. It absorbs into the hair and skin very well and is excellent for any with dry or damaged looking beard hair.

Shea butter aids in the skin’s natural collagen production and contains oleic, stearic, palmitic and linolenic acids that protect and nourish the skin to prevent drying.
- Kokum Butter: Owing to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, Kokum Butter heals, soothes inflamed and damaged skin, while it promotes healthy skin cells. Kokum butter is also ideal for scalp treatments to promote strong roots, strengthen hair follicles for healthy hair growth.
