DIY Beard Oil

Homemade Beard Oil Ingredients

Each ingredient in this beard oil recipe has a purpose (and makes it smell awesome!)

The oil base (I used apricot oil because it is what I had on hand and it’s pretty inexpensive) helps to moisturize and tame the beard.

Vitamin E oil is very nourishing for your skin and promotes the growth of healthy hair.

Tea tree essential oil will help heal any tiny cuts from the razor around the edges of the beard – and also helps to maintain cleanliness as it has disinfecting properties.

Cedarwood essential oil is known for it’s soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. This is great for a beard that might be irritating or itchy sometimes (especially growing one back out after a shave.)

Lavender essential oil is another great addition to this beard oil because it is relaxing and promotes healthy hair growth. It also helps to remove any bacteria from the area which will ward off infections from razor cuts.

While all of these ingredients have a purpose in this recipe, the essential oil combination smells awesome (and pretty manly.)

Personally, I prefer to use 2oz amber dropper bottles to store this homemade beard oil and this size works perfectly for the labels I created.
