Do you need ideas for stocking stuffers for the men in your life? (I should mention, the bearded ones?) Brooklyn Botany Beard Balm comes in a pocket sized tin that contains essential oils and shea butter to soften and tame unruly beard / mustache hair. This handy product deodorizes, cleans, and softens coarse facial hair. This balm makes for a frizz-free beard and/or mustache using all-natural, botanical-rich ingredients.
I was sent this balm complimentary for my honest opinions and review.
Ingredients:
Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Argan Oil, Sesame OIl, Olive Oil, Bees Wax, Glycerin, Proprietary Natural Fragrance, Vitamin E
Directions:
With clean hands, massage a pea-sized amount of balm between fingers. Work balm into beard and stache strands, creating any desired look. Apply as often as needed.
This balm does contain fragrance and I would have preferred this to not have its scent from a unknown source. It mentions "Proprietary Natural Fragrance" in the ingredients. I prefer products scented from botanical and essential oils. I found the scent to have a powdery undertone, which is not bad, it is just a strong scent.
I like that this balm contains Moroccan Argan Oil, Sesame Oil, Olive Oil and shea butter. These ingredients help soften, condition, and nourish hair follicles, and can encourage new growth.
I find that the fragrance is a bit overpowering for my and my husband's liking. I like the scent overall, as it has a slight baby powder scent with a hint of floral, but think it is a bit strong for facial use. I am using this for my eyebrows before makeup application with my brow filler (only a tiny amount of balm is needed) and he applies balm to his beard. I find this works best for me at night before bed to encourage eye brow growth. I am trying to thicken my brows as I prefer the old hollywood look. If I use this balm for day, I apply it with a light hand, and allow it to fully soak into my skin and hairs (while doing other makeup application), brush through with an eyebrow comb, and then apply my brow filler/powder of choice.
