How to use it

Two or three drops in the palm for a short beard, five or six for a long one.
Warm it between the hands, then work it in at the skin first and out to the ends.
Best on a beard that is still slightly damp from the shower.
Once a day. Twice if your water is hard or the radiators are on.

What is in it

Ingredient	Amount	What it is doing
Jojoba	40%	Closest thing in the world to what your skin already makes, so it absorbs instead of sitting on top.
Sweet almond	25%	Light, cheap to run, and it carries the scent well.
Grapeseed	15%	Thins the whole thing out and speeds absorption.
Argan	12%	Vitamin E and a softer feel on coarse hair.
Castor	5%	Shine and a little weight. More than this and it turns tacky.
Vitamin E (tocopherol)	1%	Antioxidant. It slows the oils going rancid — it is not a preservative.
Fragrance blend	2%	Release 001. See the scent formula.

Anhydrous, so no preservative is needed and none is used. Shelf life is set by the oils, not by bugs — about 12 months from the pressing date.

Cosmetic product. It softens and conditions hair and the skin beneath it. It will not make your beard grow, and anyone who tells you their oil does is lying to you. Patch test on the inside of your elbow first if you have reacted to a grooming product before.
