What’s the difference between beard oil, beard butter, and beard balm?

Beard oil is the lightweight starting point for conditioning your beard and the skin underneath. Work it down to the skin, then spread it through the hair.

Beard butter gives the hair extra conditioning with a soft, creamy texture. Our butter is made without beeswax and is a good fit when you want softness and a relaxed finish, including before bed.

Beard balm combines conditioning with beeswax for light hold and flyaway control. Pick butter when conditioning comes first and balm when you also want help shaping your beard. You can use either after oil; you don’t have to use all three.

What do your beard products smell like, and how do I choose a scent?

Like warm, bold scents? Try The Outlaw: sweet tobacco, black pepper, and vanilla. Prefer something fresh? The Ladies Man is lemon and vanilla, The Mountain Man is pine and cedar, and The Surfer brings beachwood and mangos.

Explore all our scents, or start with a free trial pack. Tell us what you usually like and we’ll help you pick one.

Do you have unscented beard care?

Yep—The Secret Agent is our unscented option. It’s a great choice if you prefer no added scent or want your cologne to do the talking.

How do I choose a beard care gift?

If you know his favorite scent, start there. If you don’t, a trial kit lets him find his favorite. For a full routine, choose a beard care kit. A brush or comb makes a solid addition for the guy who already has his products dialed in.

Will beard products fill in my patches?

Beard care helps the hair you have look fuller, feel softer, and stay easier to groom. It won’t create new hair follicles or guarantee that patches fill in. Keep your beard conditioned and try a shape that works with your growth pattern.

Will my favorite scent be back?

Our core scents stick around, while seasonal, Small Batch, and limited-edition scents may only be available for a short time. If your favorite is sold out, email us the scent you’re after. We’ll let you know about a planned restock or help you find something similar.

Can I buy Badass Beard Care locally?

Check our retail location map for shops near you. Give the shop a call before heading over if you’re after a specific product or scent. Want your favorite barbershop to carry us? Send them our way—we’d love to hear from them.

Shipping & orders

How much is shipping, and how long does delivery take?

U.S. shipping rates:

  • USPS Ground: $6.95 for most orders.
  • Lightweight orders up to 2.2 oz: $4.99 by USPS Ground, including the free sample offer.
  • USPS Priority: $9.95.

Orders usually leave our shop within one business day. After that, allow about 3–5 business days for Ground or 1–3 business days for Priority. These are delivery estimates; holidays and carrier delays can add time.

International shipping is calculated at checkout based on your destination and order. Delivery typically takes 7–30 business days, and customs duties or local import fees are your responsibility.

Where’s my order?

Use the tracking link in your shipping confirmation email. Can’t find it? Check your spam folder or email us your order number. If tracking only shows a label, the carrier may not have scanned your package yet. We’ll help track it down if you’re not seeing an update.

I used the wrong shipping address. Can you fix it?

Email sales@badassbeardcare.com right away with your order number and the correct address, including your apartment or unit number. If your order hasn’t shipped, we’ll do our best to catch it. Changing your saved account address won’t update an order already placed, so contact us directly.

Can I add something, change my order, or combine two orders?

Email us as soon as possible with your order number and the change you need. To combine orders, include both order numbers. We pack orders quickly, so changes are easiest to make before they leave the shop.

Can I cancel my order?

Email us right away with your order number. If it hasn’t shipped, we’ll do our best to stop it. If it’s already on the way, we’ll help with the next step. Canceling a single order doesn’t cancel a Club subscription, so let us know if you need both.

My package is late or tracking hasn’t moved. Can you help?

Email us your order number and we’ll check the tracking. If your package hasn’t moved for four business days and it’s past the delivery window, we’ll help arrange the next step. If it never received a carrier scan, we’ll check with our shipping team.

Tracking says delivered, but my package isn’t here. What now?

Check your mailbox, parcel locker, porch, and with anyone who may have brought it inside. Sometimes a delivery scan shows up before the package does, so give it one more carrier delivery day. Still missing? Email us your order number and we’ll help.

Build your beard care routine

What’s a simple beard care routine for beginners?

Wash, condition, groom. Start with a clean beard, work a little oil down to the skin, then brush or comb it through. Add butter for extra conditioning or balm for light hold. Keep it simple and make it a daily habit.

Find your beard care kit

When should I start using beard oil?

As soon as you start growing. Even a short beard benefits from a little oil to condition the hair and skin underneath. Start with a small amount and increase it as your beard gets longer.

How do I use beard oil, butter, and balm?

Start with a clean, dry or slightly damp beard. Rub a few drops of oil between your palms, then work it through your beard and down to the skin. Warm a small amount of butter or balm between your hands before working it through the hair. Brush to spread it evenly and comb to shape.

A little goes a long way. Start small and add more if you need it.

Watch Charlie walk you through it:

How often should I use beard oil?

Once a day after your shower is a good place to start. If your beard feels dry later, add a second light application. Adjust the amount to your beard length and how your skin feels.

How much beard oil or balm should I use, and how long will it last?

Start with a few drops of oil or a pea-sized amount of balm, work it through, then add more if needed. Longer and thicker beards usually need more. Your beard should feel soft without a heavy coating.

A bottle or tin’s lifespan depends on its size, your beard, and how often you use it. Once you know how quickly you go through it, set your Club deliveries to match.

Can I use beard oil and beard balm together?

Absolutely. Apply oil first, working it down to the skin. Follow with a small amount of balm for conditioning and light hold. Use butter instead of balm when you want extra softness with less hold.

What’s the difference between beard balm and beard wax?

Beard balm conditions your beard and gives flyaways a little direction. Beard wax has a firmer feel and stronger hold for shaping. Choose balm for an easy, natural finish or wax when your beard needs more help staying put. If you use both, apply balm first and finish with a small amount of wax.

How often should I wash my beard?

Wash after a sweaty or dirty day and whenever product starts building up. Chuck’s Hog Wash is made for daily use on beard, hair, and body. Use Badass Beard Wash when you need a deeper clean. Rinse well and follow with conditioner.

Shop beard washes

What’s the difference between Beard Wash and Chuck’s Hog Wash?

Badass Beard Wash gives you a deeper clean to remove grime and product buildup, with a tea tree, eucalyptus, and peppermint scent.

Chuck’s Hog Wash is a daily 3-in-1 wash for your beard, hair, and body, available in our beard care scents.

Is beard conditioner rinse-out or leave-in?

Our Beard Conditioner is rinse-out. Apply after washing, leave it on for a minute or two, then rinse thoroughly. Beard butter is a leave-in conditioner for after the shower or before bed.

Should I use a beard brush or a beard comb?

A brush helps distribute product and smooth your beard. A comb works through tangles and helps shape it. Wider teeth work well for longer or thicker beards. Work gently through snags instead of pulling.

Can I use beard butter before bed?

You bet. Warm a little beard butter between your palms and work it through your beard before bed. It stays in to condition the hair overnight. Start with a small amount so it goes into your beard instead of your pillow.

Why does my beard feel greasy after using products?

You may be using more than your beard needs. Cut back on the amount, work it through evenly, and brush out any excess. If you’re layering products, try oil followed by either butter or balm. Add more only if your beard still feels dry.

How should I store beard oil, butter, and balm?

Store products in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Keep caps and lids closed, and use clean, dry hands to scoop butter or balm. Avoid leaving your stash in a hot car. If something smells or feels off, let us know.
