Beard oil

A light oil, or a firmer balm, used to soften a beard and the skin beneath it.

Also: beard balm

Beard oils are blends of plant oils, such as jojoba, argan or coconut, sometimes with scent. A few drops are worked into the beard and down to the skin. Beard balms add a wax, often beeswax, so they also hold the hair in shape. Both became widely sold with the beard boom of the 2010s, though men have oiled their beards for thousands of years. They are optional grooming, not a need.
