What's The Difference Between Beard Butter vs. Oil?

Beard butter and beard oil might be from the same family, but you can think of these products as cousins rather than siblings. Beard butter acts as a deep conditioner that helps prevent beard dandruff, dryness, and the dreaded crunch.

On the other hand, beard oil is used to keep your skin and beard moisturized and soft. It’s lightweight and provides more shine than deep conditioning capabilities. If you’re using beard oil, all you’ll need is a dime-sized dab.

What Is Beard Butter Used For?

Many types of beards can benefit from beard butter—especially BLESSED MEN's vegan formula. Our Conditioning Beard Butter hydrates, soothes, and conditions dry, thirsty beards.

Whether your beard is short, medium-length, or inspired by ZZ Top, beard butter is the perfect finishing touch to your grooming routine. Simply rub a small amount of beard butter on your hands and run the product thoroughly through your beard.

Beard butter can be applied daily and will help hold your beard’s shape and style in place. After all, doesn’t everyone want a fuller beard?

Does Beard Butter or Oil Help Your Beard Grow?

When it comes to beard growth, there are some differences between beard butter vs beard oil.

Beard Butter

Beard butter encourages a well-defined beard shape. It also helps your beard stay hydrated, soft, and full. Typically, beard butter won’t help with hair growth.

Beard Oil

Beard oil contains natural ingredients that can encourage facial hair growth. These ingredients include natural herbs that are known to reduce beard hair loss. That's just one of the many benefits of beard oil.

Benefits of Beard Oil & How To Use It

Unlike beard butter, beard oil is a lighter option that provides strength and shine. BLESSED MEN Nourishing Beard Oil has a lightweight formula that's enriched with natural oils and vitamins to help promote healthy hair growth.

It’s important to use beard oil sparingly—otherwise, you could end up with an oily beard. Pour a dime-sized amount of our Nourishing Beard Oil on your hands and emulsify it by rubbing your palms together.

Apply beard oil daily after you have washed your beard with a refreshing beard shampoo. Ensure that you apply oil to your skin rather than your entire beard. Then, rinse with warm water.
