Know More
*except rosehip seed oil from Chile.
Avocado oil (Persea americana): A hair-loving oil that is packed with oleic acids and omegas 3, 6 and 9, Avocado seed oil one of the few oils that may have the ability to actually penetrate the hair shaft and moisturize hair, rather than sitting on top of it and coating it (source).
These monounsaturated fats may also help prevent breakage, may help strengthen the hair shaft, may support natural conditioning and make beard hair appear healthier and shinier. Since Avocado oil is also rich in Vitamin D which may be crucial for the regeneration of new hair follicles, it is best to use this Conditioning Beard Oil daily on the beard, to promote hair growth.
EVOO (Olea Europaea): Extra Virgin Olive oil is extra-rich in Vitamin E, which can help make hair soft and less itchy, may promote growth by penetrating the hair follicle, thus possibly prevent beard patchiness. (source)
Apricot oil (Persea Armeniaca): Rich in vitamin A, E and oleic acid, apricot kernel oil may help retain moisture in hair (source), soothing and hydrating while it may promote the health of beard follicles. Apricot oil may strengthen weak beard strands, and give the appearance of shinier and softer hair, without making your beard appear or feel greasy.
Hemp seed oil (Cannabis Sativa): An oil with a high chlorophyll content, which is rich in vitamins B, D, & E, and calcium, and potassium, which are key for healthy hair growth (source), give this hair-loving oil it's characteristic green colour.
Hemp oil is keratynolitic, facilitating the formation of keratin- a protein which forms the main structural components of hair and nails. It is also rich in ceramides, waxy lipid (fat) molecules (source). In hair, ceramides help prevent excess moisture from leaving the cells, which may help prevent dryness and irritation in the skin under the beard (source).
Nigella seed oil (Nigella Sativa): Nigella seed oil (variously called/ known as 'black cumin seed oil' and 'black seed oil') is rich in short-chain fatty acids (source), which may allow penetration into the root of the hair, which may in turn lead to hair growth. Repeated application of Nigella seed oil may assist in halting hair loss and may give new life to dry, damaged, dull and unmanageable hair.
Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis): Rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish hair including Vit B and E, Copper and Zinc, and composed of 97% mono unsaturated fatty acids and 3% acids and natural alcohols, it’s nutrient rich structure may help to moisturize and condition hair by penetrating it’s outer layer without disrupting the pH of your skin.

Carrot Root (Daucus carota) macerated carrot root in sunflower oil gives this bright orange oil it's colour. Loaded with Beta Carotene, a precursor to vitamin A (source), which can help strengthen weak hair and promote healthy skin, carrot oil can help eliminate breakage and prevent dryness, nourishing and conditioning hair deeply.
Certified pure, therapeutic grade essential oils including cedarleaf, cedarwood and myrrh. Used in hair, the astringent properties of myrrh oil (source) strengthens the roots and may help reduce or prevent hair loss. Antiseptic cedarwood and cedarleaf essential oils (source), may be helpful in wound healing from cuts during beard trimming and may also help stimulate circulation and moisturize skin under the beard.
