What is Beard Butter & How Does it Work? A Quick Guide

If you’ve sported a beard for some time, you’ve probably heard of beard butter. But what exactly does beard butter do? Here’s a quick overview to get you up to speed:

So What Exactly is Beard Butter?

Beard butters are leave-in conditioners designed to keep your whiskers well-behaved and comfortable. We use a natural formulation of rich ingredients like shea and cocoa butter in our Attar Mist Sandalwood Scented Beard Butter to provide deep conditioning by sealing in moisture, leaving your beard hair styled and soft to the touch. Beard butter generally has a thick creamy consistency — a happy medium between thinner beard oils and more rigid beard waxes.

In a Shea-Nutshell, beard butter is unique in its ability to tackle both the texture and appearance of your beard.

How is Beard Butter Different from Beard Oil?

The main difference between beard butter and beard oil comes down to how they handle moisture. Beard butter acts mostly as a sealant for the beard hair itself. It’s heavier consistency helps weigh-down and tame flyaway hairs. 

On the other hand, Attar Mist’s Sandalwood Scented Beard Oil works to ‘quench’ your beard’s thirst by replacing lost moisture. This helps keep beard hair elastic, making combing or brushing a breeze. Crucially however, beard oil also works on the skin underneath, making it a fantastic tool for fighting persistent itching and dreaded beard-ruff.

The long and skinny? Beard butter excels in softening and styling hair, while beard oil is instead made to hydrate both skin and beard.

What’s in Beard Butter?

Made with natural ingredients, Attar Mist’s Beard Butter is specially formulated to give your beard what it craves.

• Shea Butter: Rich creamy consistency, great for moisturizing
• Cocoa Butter: Firmer texture, making it excellent for protecting beard hair from harsh wind or temperature
• Coconut Oil: Compliments sealing-action of richer ingredients with deep hydration of hair

How to Use Attar Mist Beard Butter

Here’s how to apply Attar Mist’s Sandalwood Beard Butter:

1. Thoroughly cleanse your beard. A quick rinse with water can work, but we recommend using a gentle cleanser like Attar Mist’s Sandalwood Scented Beard & Face Wash for clearing any excess oil or grime.
2. Scoop a small dollop and warm between hands. For shorter or smaller beards, use a pea-sized amount. For longer beards, try a dime-sized amount.
3. Gently massage into beard, styling as desired. For best results, apply to a clean, dry beard.

Want All-Day Styling? Apply Beard Butter in the Morning! ☀️

Whether its an important business meeting, presentation, or simply a day-out with a loved one — beard butter can be the key to turning a messy beard into a confidence-building accessory. 

To unlock your best-looking beard, apply beard butter to your beard after a morning shower. Then, simply style your beard by brushing or combing. You can even use a hair dyer to lock in your desired look — but our recommendation is to use the lowest/coolest setting.

Softer Beards are Best Made Overnight. 

Wearing a beard doesn’t have to be cumbersome or uncomfortable. With the right approach, you can revel in a mane thats soft, pliable, and comfortable.

Attar Mist’s Sandalwood Beard Butter already has the rich, natural ingredients needed to elevate your beard’s texture. So why not make our beard butter’s job easier by giving it more time to do its work?

By applying before bed, you’re giving your beard more time to absorb those rich, nourishing ingredients!
