Using beard oil can be a quick and convinient way to soften and mantain any beard, from stubble goatees to flowing manes. Here's a quick guide on how to soften your beard with Attar Mist's Sandalwood Beard Oil!

How AM® Sandalwood Beard Oil Softens Your Beard

Thoughtfully formulated with natural ingredients. Attar Mist uses a targeted blend of deep-penetrating natural oils to revitalize dry, brittle beard hair from the inside out. Here’s how our natural beard oil blend softens, according to recent medical studies:

  • Argan Oil
    • Argan oil excels in softening the outermost layer of hair, also known as the cuticle[1][2]. It leaves beards softer to the touch by filling gaps and even holding damaged cuticles together. These factors are often responsible for that rough and jagged-feeling.
  • Avocado Oil
    • High in monounsaturated fats, avocado oil specializes in deep penetration, mimicking the natural lipids that help hold our hair together [1]. By replacing these lost lipids, it helps get rid of the dreaded crunchy-beard feeling.
  • Olive Oil
    • Olive oil acts as an effective emollient agent by sealing moisture inside of hair [2]. This can mean the difference between a ‘wiry’, or ‘velvety’ feeling beard.
  • Safflower Seed Oil
    • While lacking the heavy-hitting power of heavier oils, Safflower seed oil is a crucial ingredient that helps make AM® beard oil more ‘breathable’ and comfortable to wear. This allows for easier application to beard and skin without the dreaded greasy-feel.

Steps to Soften Beard

Here’s how to use Attar Mist’s Sandalwood Beard Oil:

1. Dispense a few drops; One or two drop for small to medium beards, three drops for larger flowing beards.

2. Apply to beard by gently massaging, being sure to work the oil into the hair and skin underneath.

Pro Tips

  • Applying oil while your beard is slightly damp (from washing/shower) helps the oil lock in more moisture for superior hydration.
  • Want an even softer beard? Try applying AM® Sandalwood Beard Oil before bed for greater absorption.
  • Avoid using more than 3 drops of oil. 1-2 drops is recommended for shorter beards or stubble, 3 drops for longer flowing beards. Remember, a little goes a long way!
