Beard Oil

Beard oil moisturizes both your beard and the skin underneath it. It softens coarse, wiry hair, tames flyaways, and hydrates the skin to help stop itching and beard dandruff. A good beard oil also leaves a light, pleasant scent behind.

Once a day works for most beards, ideally after a shower when your beard is clean and slightly damp. If your beard is long or the air is dry, you can apply a few extra drops later in the day.

Start with 4 to 6 drops for a short beard and 8 to 10 drops for a medium to long beard. Warm the oil between your palms, work it through from tips to roots, and massage it into the skin. You can always add more, so start small.

Not if it's made with the right carrier oils. Honest Viking uses jojoba, grapeseed and argan oil, which absorb quickly and leave your beard soft instead of oily. If your beard feels greasy, you're likely using too many drops.

Yes. Beard itch and flakes usually come from dry skin under the beard. Beard oil hydrates that skin, which helps calm itching and reduce beard dandruff, especially during the first weeks of growing a beard.

Look for a short, recognizable ingredient list built on quality carrier oils like jojoba, argan and grapeseed. Avoid beard oils loaded with cheap filler oils, parabens, sulfates or phthalates. Honest Viking beard oil is vegan and free of all of them.

Beard oil won't change your genetics, but it keeps your beard and skin healthy, which helps prevent breakage and split ends. A healthier, better-conditioned beard looks fuller and lets you keep the length you grow.

Honest Viking scents are made to last all day. You'll notice it most right after applying, and it settles into a lighter scent that stays with your beard into the evening.

With daily use, a 2 oz bottle of Honest Viking beard oil typically lasts 2 to 4 months depending on the length of your beard and how many drops you use.
