Frequently Asked Questions

At Mammoth Beard Co., we don’t just make beard care products—we craft solutions. Our approach to formulation is rooted in years of experience, research, and a deep understanding of what truly works for beards and the skin underneath. While many companies churn out generic oils and balms with trendy marketing, we focus on functionality, effectiveness, and real ingredient knowledge.

We Were One of the First

When we started over a decade ago, quality beard care wasn’t easy to find. We were among the first in Canada to pioneer premium, all-natural beard care products—long before the market was saturated with brands trying to capitalize on the trend. Our early commitment to using only the best natural ingredients and designing products that actually work set a standard that many others have followed.

A Functional Product Line—Not Just Scents and Hype

A lot of beard companies simply mix oils, add fragrance, and call it a day. That’s not how we operate. Every product in our lineup is carefully formulated to address real beard concerns, from dryness and itch to coarse texture and breakage. Whether it’s our Super Soft Leave-In Beard Conditioner for unruly beards, our Luxe Beard Elixir for deep conditioning, or our Beard & Body Wash that cleans without stripping away moisture, we ensure that each product serves a purpose beyond just smelling good.

Brands Look to Us for Education

Over the years, we’ve noticed something interesting—other beard care brands watch us, learn from us, and adjust their formulations based on what we’ve pioneered. We take that as a compliment, but it also speaks to our authority in the industry. Many brands now claim to be unique, but if you look closely, they’re often just repackaging ideas and education that we put out there first. We take the time to educate ourselves, our customers, and even our competitors on proper ingredient use, product performance, and what actually benefits beard health.

No Cutting Corners—Only the Best Ingredients & Methods

We don’t believe in using cheap fillers, artificial fragrances, or mass-market formulations. Our products are made with premium carrier oils, botanical extracts, and high-quality essential oils, ensuring that they perform exactly as intended—without compromise. We also prioritize sustainable and ethical sourcing because we believe that great beard care shouldn’t come at the expense of the environment.

At the end of the day, we don’t follow trends—we set them. Mammoth Beard Co. is built on a decade of expertise, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to making the best damn beard care products possible. That’s what truly sets us apart.

While our products won’t magically sprout new beard hairs overnight, they will create the ideal conditions for healthier, stronger, and fuller beard growth over time.

What Our Products Do:

✅ Nourish the hair and skin – A healthy beard starts with healthy skin. Our beard oils, balms, and conditioners moisturize and protect both your facial hair and the skin underneath, reducing dryness, irritation, and breakage.

✅ Prevent split ends and breakage – Dry, brittle beards are more likely to break and feel patchy. Our products help strengthen the hair shaft, making your beard look and feel fuller.

✅ Support optimal beard growth conditions – While genetics determine how thick and full your beard will grow, proper care ensures that every strand grows as strong and healthy as possible.

What Our Products Don’t Do (And What Most “Beard Growth” Products Won’t Either)

❌ Change your genetics – If your beard grows patchy or slow, no product can override your DNA. However, proper beard care can maximize what you have and make your beard appear thicker and more even.

❌ Act as a miracle growth formula – Most "beard growth" products on the market are nothing more than a marketing scam, preying on insecurities and offering false hope. Many of them are just overpriced beard oils with a fancy label. The truth? There’s no magic potion for beard growth—only proper care, patience, and genetics.

❌ Contain pharmaceutical hair growth stimulants – Our products don’t include minoxidil or similar compounds. Instead, they focus on long-term beard health, strengthening your existing hair, preventing breakage, and ensuring your skin stays in peak condition to support the best natural growth possible.

How to Get the Best Beard Growth Results

If you want to grow the healthiest, fullest beard possible, combine high-quality beard care with:

✔ A balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and healthy fats

✔ Proper hydration to keep hair follicles nourished

✔ Regular beard maintenance like washing, conditioning, and trimming split ends

✔ Consistency—the longer you care for your beard properly, the better it will look over time

We don’t sell false promises—we sell real beard care that works. While we can’t change your genetics, we can help you grow the best version of your beard—stronger, healthier, and better looking than ever.

1. Moisture & Hydration Retention

Facial hair tends to be coarser and drier than the hair on your head. Without proper care, it can become brittle, wiry, and prone to breakage. Beard oil works by delivering essential moisture to the hair and skin while helping to lock in hydration, preventing dryness, itchiness, and dreaded beard dandruff (aka ‘beardruff’). Beard balm takes it a step further by sealing in moisture with natural butters and waxes, ensuring long-lasting softness and protection against the elements.

2. Taming & Styling

Flyaways, uneven growth, and an unruly beard? That’s where beard balm shines. It contains natural butters and waxes that help shape, soften, and control your beard, giving it a more polished and well-groomed appearance. It’s perfect for those who want a bit of hold without feeling stiff or greasy.

3. Promoting Healthy Growth

A healthy beard starts at the skin. Dry, neglected skin under your beard can lead to irritation and slow growth. Beard oil nourishes the skin beneath, keeping follicles healthy and encouraging stronger, fuller growth over time.

4. Enhancing Your Signature Scent

Beard oils and balms aren’t just functional—they smell amazing, too. We craft our scents using pure essential oils and absolutes, so you can enjoy a refined, masculine aroma without synthetic chemicals or overpowering fragrances.

5. Long-Term Beard Health

Consistent use of beard oil and balm helps maintain the long-term health of your beard. It prevents split ends, reduces breakage, and makes your beard feel softer and more manageable. Whether you're growing a short, refined look or an epic, full-bodied beard, a proper routine will keep it looking its best.

So, Which One Should You Use?

Beard Oil: Ideal for daily beard care at any stage of your beard growth journey—from fresh stubble to a full-grown mane. It’s especially helpful for soothing dry skin, reducing itchiness, and keeping your beard feeling soft, nourished, and healthy. Whether you're just starting out or maintaining an epic beard, beard oil is a must-have in your routine.

Beard Balm: Perfect for those needing extra moisture, conditioning, or control, beard balm is a versatile addition to your grooming routine. It helps lock in hydration, soften coarse hairs, and tame flyaways—making it especially useful for medium to long beards. Our Heavy Hold Balm also provides added structure and styling support for beards that need a little extra discipline. Whether you’re battling dryness or want your beard to look more polished, balm’s got your back.

Both: If you want the full package—maximum conditioning, softening, and control—using both together will give you the best results.

Your beard is an investment—treat it like one! Quality beard care products make all the difference in how it looks, feels, and grows.

All three of our beard oils are designed to moisturize, condition, and strengthen both your facial hair and the skin beneath, while promoting healthy beard growth and a non-greasy finish.

So, which one should you choose?

Argan Beard Oil is our richest formula, best suited for coarse, thick, or longer beards. It absorbs a little slower, providing deep conditioning and moisture retention. If you have sensitive skin, argan oil’s anti-inflammatory properties can help keep irritation at bay. A little goes a long way—if your beard feels greasy, you’re using too much!

Hazelnut & Hemp Beard Oil is a lighter blend that absorbs quickly, making it a great choice for shorter beards, scruff, or those who prefer a "dry-oil" feel. It also has natural astringent properties, making it a great option for anyone prone to breakouts under their beard.

Luxe Beard Elixir is our next-generation beard oil with a luxurious gel texture that delivers moisture while sealing in hydration. It’s lightweight yet deeply nourishing, making it suitable for all beard types—from short and fine to thick and coarse. If you’re looking for an ultra-conditioning, high-performance formula, this is it!

Our Super Soft Leave-In Beard Conditioner is a one-of-a-kind, functional product designed to tackle some of the most common beard care struggles—dryness, coarseness, and manageability—without adding weight or greasiness. Unlike traditional beard oils and balms, Super Soft is an ultra-light, water-based formula that absorbs quickly, delivering deep conditioning without leaving residue behind. It’s the perfect solution for anyone looking for an easy-to-use, low-maintenance, yet highly effective beard softener.

How to Use Super Soft:

Apply to a damp or dry beard: While Super Soft works best when applied to a slightly damp beard (since it helps lock in that moisture), it can also be used on dry hair for an instant softness boost.

Use a dime-to-nickel-sized amount: A little goes a long way! Start with a small amount and work it through your beard, adjusting as needed for longer or coarser facial hair.

Distribute evenly: Use your fingers, a comb, or a brush to ensure even coverage from root to tip.

Leave it in—no rinsing required! Unlike a traditional conditioner, Super Soft is a leave-in formula, so it keeps working throughout the day to keep your beard feeling soft and healthy.

Whether you have a short beard that needs a bit of daily softening or a longer, fuller beard that tends to feel rough, Super Soft is an effortless way to keep your beard looking and feeling its best.

Here's Why Super Soft Is A Game Changer In Your Beard Care Routine

Beard Grooming 101: Moisturizing vs. Hydrating Your Facial Fuzz

Ingredient Deep Dive: Super Soft

This powerhouse product is unlike anything else on the market—and once you try it, you’ll understand why so many beards swear by it.

No, and they never will. At Mammoth Beard Co., we are committed to keeping our products 100% natural—free from synthetic fragrances, harsh chemicals, and unnecessary fillers.

No Synthetic Fragrances—Only Pure Essential Oils

Many beard care brands use cheap synthetic fragrances, which can contain undisclosed chemicals that may irritate the skin or cause sensitivities. We never use artificial fragrances in our products. Instead, we carefully craft our scents using pure essential oils, expertly blended to create complex, bold, natural aromas without the need for synthetics.

We take great pride in our unique scent profiles, and have been perfecting our essential oil blends for over a decade. These formulations aren’t just about smelling good—they’re designed to provide aromatherapeutic benefits while being safe for the skin.

No Harsh Chemicals—Only Ingredients That Work

We also stay clear of harsh chemicals that can strip moisture, cause irritation, or disrupt the natural balance of your skin and beard. That means:

✅ No parabens (linked to skin sensitivities and hormone disruption)

✅ No sulfates (SLS or SLES) (can cause dryness and irritation)

✅ No phthalates (often found in synthetic fragrances and known endocrine disruptors)

✅ No silicones (can create buildup and suffocate hair)

Our philosophy is simple: If an ingredient doesn’t serve a real purpose in making your beard and skin healthier, it doesn’t belong in our products.

Safe, Transparent, and Skin-Friendly

Every ingredient we use is there for a reason—to nourish, protect, and enhance your beard without compromise. Whether it's our carefully selected carrier oils, deeply conditioning butters, or expertly blended essential oils, you can trust that each Mammoth Beard Co. product is made with quality, integrity, and your skin’s health in mind.

Transparency & Our Unique Essential Oil Blends

We believe in full ingredient transparency, and every product is clearly labeled so you know exactly what you’re putting on your skin. However, we do keep our signature essential oil scent blends proprietary.

Why? Because we’ve been industry leaders for over a decade, and many brands look to us for guidance (and sometimes copy our innovations). Our scents are a key part of what sets us apart, and we take pride in the expertise and artistry behind each unique blend. While we don’t disclose exact ratios and specific essential oils, we ensure that every formulation is made with safe, skin-friendly dilutions that prioritize both scent quality and skin health.

If you have any specific sensitivities or ingredient concerns, feel free to reach out—we’re always happy to help!

Beard Oil

Best applied first thing in the morning to a clean beard. Pump a few squirts into the palm of your hand (more or less depending on the length of your beard, rub your hands together and work oil through the length of your beard, from roots to tips. If you have dry spots, massage a little oil into the skin. If your beard is particularly dry you may want to repeat the process once more in the evening. 

Beard Balm:

Scrape a small amount of beard balm out with your fingernail (amount will vary depending on the length of your beard). Warm the balm by rubbing between your hands and then proceed to work it through your beard from roots to tips.

Absolutely! At Mammoth Beard Co., we take a thoughtful, science-backed approach to formulation, ensuring that our products are as gentle and effective as possible—even for those with sensitive skin.

Formulated with Sensitive Skin in Mind

We understand that sensitive skin requires extra care, which is why we:

Use proper essential oil dilutions to prevent irritation or sensitization.

Avoid artificial fragrances, sulfates, parabens, and other harsh chemicals that can cause reactions.

Offer unscented options, like our Super Soft Leave-In Beard Conditioner, for those who prefer a fragrance-free routine.

Test & Customize Your Routine

Everyone’s skin is different, so if you have highly reactive skin or allergies, we recommend doing a patch test before using any new product. If you ever have questions about ingredients or need recommendations, we’re happy to help guide you to the best products for your needs.

Your beard (and your skin) deserve the best, and that’s exactly what we create—beard care that works, without compromise.

This is highly dependant on the size of your beard and how much product you use daily. A 30ml bottle of beard oil or a 51g tin of beard balm can last anywhere between 1 to 12 months.

Absolutely! While our products are tailored for beard care, they also work wonders as hair oils. In fact, many women have raved about the results they've seen, particularly with our Super Soft Beard Conditioner. This conditioner was created with coarse hair in mind, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking to tame and nourish their coarse locks.

We test our products on real beards worn by real people, not on animals.
