How to use it

Warm the tin in your palm for twenty seconds before you open it.
Take a very small amount on a thumbnail and work it soft between finger and thumb.
Push it into the hair from the middle outward, then twist the ends.
A comb through the middle first makes the twist hold much longer.

What is in it

Ingredient	Amount	What it is doing
Beeswax	45%	The hold. This is a wax, so the wax leads.
Anhydrous lanolin	15%	Grip and pliability. It is what stops a strong wax going brittle and flaking.
Shea butter, raw unrefined	15%	Takes the edge off the wax so it works out of the tin.
Grass-fed tallow	10%	Conditioning, and it warms up faster than butter alone.
Jojoba	10%	Spreadability.
Castor	3%	Tack. This is the ingredient doing the actual curling.
Vitamin E (tocopherol)	1%	Antioxidant.
Fragrance blend	1%	Release 001, dosed low — it sits directly under the nose all day.

For a stronger hold in summer, swap 5% of the beeswax for pine rosin. Rosin is a known skin sensitiser for some people, so if you do it, it goes on the label.

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.
