Artnaturals Beard Oil - Unscented Conditioner and Growth Oil - Vegan and Paraben Free with Argan, Vitamins E and Jojoba Oil for Men

My husband started growing his beard earlier this year but quickly became uncomfortable due to the itching it caused. When he mentioned he was thinking about shaving it completely off, I immediately struck a deal with him. The deal was this: If I could find something that would stop the itching, he would leave his beard in tact. I started researching ASAP - I was willing to do whatever it took to keep his beard in full bloom because if truth be told, his beard is down-right sexy. Not in an "I'm your wife so I'm biased and think it's sexy" kind of way - but a "Both men and women literally stop and ask my husband how he gets his beard like that" kind of way. After MUCH research I decided to give this product a shot. I was a little scared of some of the reviews which stated it smelled funny and had a greasy effect, but decided to give it a try anyway. My verdict: This would be worth every penny at three times the price, if not four times! Does it smell funny? No. Is it greasy? No. (Granted that probably depends on how coarse and fine your beard hair is) The itching is gone AND his beard hair is wonderfully silky and healthy looking. We started visiting "The Art of Shave", which is a chain of beard-centric service centers, with the goal of stepping-up his beard-game a notch by creating a beard style. Think Seneca Crane, from the Hunger Games, with a more pointed and fuller goatee and a less curly design. In essence, a very complex yet sexy look that takes A LOT of maintenance. After I explained my vision, the stylist informed me the ONLY way to get that look (without the magic of Hollywood movies) is to have an extremely healthy and strong beard (which most people don't have). I instructed him to do his best and consider it trial and error. 45 minutes later, both myself AND the stylist were shocked and surprised at the final product. His beard was amazingly immaculate, almost as if he was ready for a photo-shoot. The stylist immediately asked what kind of product he was using on his beard, as their own $40 a bottle product wasn't THAT good. In the end, strangers (both men and women) STILL stop my husband on the street to inquire about his beard. His friends now buy this exact same oil, after being introduced to it through us. My coworkers approach me privately to find out what styling products he uses on his beard, and later gift the product to their partners. I'm just praying this company never stops selling the oil. PS - For all the ladies out there - this oil makes the hair so soft, you'll never again have to deal with the scratchiness of kissing your bearded husband :)

Look. I've had a beard for as long as I could have a beard, and it's pretty awesome. One time, while attending a wedding on the left coast, I ran into a friend with a slightly more awesomer (get over it) beard. I asked him how it remained so kempt, and he said, "I put a dime sized portion of olive oil in it each morning." Which I thought was disgusting, as I'm Irish, and my people barely cook food, let alone wear it. Once I returned to the right coast, I started hunting for beard oil, and it turns out, there's a butt-ton to choose from. The first few I purchased were scented, and I quickly realized that wasn't for me, as if I wanted a smelly beard, I'd just stick a whole pepperoni in it, like my disgusting friend from San Fran. I then ordered ArtNaturals Unscented beard oil and it all came together. My beard looked great throughout the day, and my math skills improved. (Which, I'm assuming was a total coincidence) Also, um... I can fly now. And yes, I think that's most certainly due to the oil. In fact, I'm hoping Mr. A. Naturals reads this (when he lands of course) and decides he should put this flying info on the bottle. Maybe he doesn't want to sound all braggadocious, but my fear is that if any bearded babies use his product, there's a chance they may get all tangled up in their mobiles. And nobody wants to see that. (Which is why Norman Rockwell's "Oily Hairy Baby Caught in Mobile" never graced the cover of The Saturday Evening Post) Just saying Art, it's the right thing to do. Do it for the flying bearded babies. Ok, where was I? Oh right, great product.

I won't give a product like this a bad rating simply because everyone's skin is different. I found this oil to do very little for my beard and skin, it didn't seem to spread well and I didn't feel like I actually had it in my beard. The packaging is nice, and there was no odors or smells, I just didn't like the texture and feel of the oil. Ive used other products and had a sense of what I was expecting, but I wasn't satisfied. However, its still worth trying, the oils in the ingredients list are very good for beard and skin, like I said everyone is different.

I actually bought this with my own money. Actually I bought two. With the first bottle, I accidentally didn't screw on the dropper one day (tired, bleary morning maybe), and then later tried to pick the bottle up by the dropper. This is a bad idea, and it knocked over, onto the floor, where the whole bottle exploded, splashing beard oil and glass across my floor. So, first of all, for use in the bathroom, I think the dropper is hipster but not very efficient, and a pump style bottle would be better. The good news is that the product is not stinky, and it cleaned up OK. It does seem to work OK as a beard softener, and seems to give my not-amazing beard a bit of extra shine. And the itchiness on my face is reduced. However, I personally think that a tiny bit of scent would be nice, because the product does have a sort of oily smell (kind of like if you sniff canola oil) which is acceptable but not great. So, I probably keep using this until it's empty, but will then try something else.
