Beardedbearco Reviews 88

I've had facial hair all my adult life and, over the past decade or so, I reckon I've tried well over a hundred oils, balms and butters from a range of companies, UK and abroad. At this point, I know I'm a creature of habit: it takes me a little while to settle on a particular oil but once I do, I stick with it and it becomes part of my daily routine. I tend to prefer big, punchy, usually woody scents; I love cedarwood, sandalwood, etc.

I'd become more or less fixed on a particular high-end US manufacturer that produces small batches of the kind of thing I enjoy - but there are issues with importing from overseas (especially the US right now) and I've been trying UK-based companies to try to find something closer to home.

I picked up a sample set of Bearded Bear oils, balm, butter and the wash/conditioner and, after a week or so of daily testing, just HAD to buy full-size versions. I honestly think I’ve found my home-grown UK forever-products!

Let's be systematic...

UPSIDES:
The reason I give five stars is the "beard feel", which really is second to none. I don't know enough about the science to understand quite why this particular mix of oils has made my beard feel so soft, well-conditioned and *light* but it happened almost immediately and it made me sit up and take notice. I think it may be the nicest blend of carrier oils I've ever experienced.

The consistency is fantastic too: having had my share of gritty or grainy balms or butters, I love how effortlessly smooth the Bearded Bear range feels between the fingers as I apply it.

My favourite scent was a surprise: having expected to like Wild the most (because it's the best fit for my typical woody preferences), the one I find I can't stay away from is Executive. I'm not even a coffee addict but, for me, the combination of that with orange and dark chocolate makes me imagine myself eating Jaffa Cakes in a really upscale coffee shop, sunshine streaming through the windows... It's somehow both invigorating and super-chill!

Customer service is often under-reviewed but Bearded Bear’s has been quick, efficient and reassuringly HUMAN: no infuriating AI stock responses but real people being really helpful.

DOWNSIDES:
The size of oils, balms and butters is fine but I'd ideally like to see the wash and conditioner in larger sizes of bottle, so they last longer in my gym bag. My beard is curly and I colour-wash it the original ginger (it's going white *very* unevenly) so it positively DRINKS IN oils and conditioners. I understand they’re likely to look at producing larger sizes in the longer term but, in the meantime, I’m happy to bulk-buy.

Similarly, there isn't really a downside with the scent profiles - I'm curious enough about all of them to want to try them for longer - but, for my tastes, Wild goes just a little heavy on pine-type notes and I'd ideally want to see cedar and sandalwood dialled up in the mix. I'm aware that that's probably just a personal idiosyncrasy: I know a lot of guys prefer more subtlety; I want my beard to smell like a saw-mill in the middle of the forest just after a rainfall and I want it to smell like that ALL THE TIME!

RANDOM:
I'm not really one for skincare - unlike my beard, my skin tends to be oily rather than dry - but I do have a load of tattoos and, having tried the freebie Honey & Tallow moisturiser and really liked it, I’m absolutely tempted to give the tattoo balm a whirl.

Apologies for such a lengthy ramble but I really am very pleasantly surprised to have found such an excellent all-round beard product manufacturer practically on my doorstep. I plan to experiment longer with each scent and see how my preferences develop but I can’t emphasise enough: if you have facial hair, BUY IT FOR THE BEARD FEEL!

Seriously, you 100% won’t regret it.

so iv now exclusively used bearded Bear Co product for 5 months now so I feel it's time to give a review!
iv been using sinner beard oil and butter, and more recently iv added the beard wash into the mix.

the beard oil is the perfect consistency to be absorbed well without leaving that fake glisten and film you get with most products iv tried. it definitely hydrates the skin well, eliminating that dreaded chin itch. this carries on through the beard. iv suffered less slit ends and breakages since using this and my comb glides much better through the beard even in the morning.

the butter melts down well into the hands allowing an even spread through out the beard locking that moisture in and also works well in holding the beard in place minimizing those stray hairs! I apply a some more in the evening before bed to prevent moisture out over night

iv used the beard wash for around a month now, not ever day mind you as I like to just rinse some days, but multiple times a week. on the nose I can't notice any major scents, which I prefere as that leaves the oil and butter scents to be prominent. the wash lathers up well and works well into the hairs. also a little goes a long way meaning it's lasts a super long time. after using the wash the beard doesn't feel stripped like a lot of washes do. infact it actually feels like even more moisture has been added. again leaving no chin itch or dryness.

all in all I am very very impressed with the bearded Bear Co products and I will definitely be continuing to use them!

First of all the website is very user friendly with great products to choose from, dispatched quickly and everything I received had attention to detail. The beard butter is amazing along with the Tallow honey, the products are fantastic and I’m so happy with the company’s customer service and attention to detail

I placed an order for two beard oils and two beard butters. Everything arrived quickly and very well packaged. I got both Executive and Sinner and have been using Sinner for the past three days. The scent is truly amazing and last, leaving my beard soft.

I mean where do I start... I've been growing a beard for years now and have used many many products. From UK brands, to American brands, you name it. I was waiting so so long for a UK based company that truly concentrated on making quality products rather than just a brand who just focuses on marketing. This is by far, the best oil and butter I have used in the UK to date. The carrier blend has been honestly crafted to perfection. The butter melts so so smoothly with no bits and has a touch of hold. The oil doesn't leave the beard greasy at all, but penetrates perfectly all the way down to the skin. You wake up in the morning and your beard feels amazing! (Radio active is a PHENOMENAL scenet) The customer service is amongst the best I've encountered. You aren't talking to a sales rep or a bot on live chat, you are talking to an actual person who cares. I'm honestly really really glad I found this company. I can only imagine they will be my go to for many many years to come. If you are in two minds, please pull the trigger, I can assure you, you won't regret it.

Great service and great Products! Will definitely order again!

Great products and I’ll be returning again to get the bigger options , I also love the fact you give regular discounts it’s a huge help.

I have a multi-award winning beard and when it comes to beard care, I will only use the best… this is where bearded bear co comes in. Starting with the wash and conditioner. The beard wash provides a perfect cleanse, maintaining hydration and not stripping the beard of their natural oils. The conditioner is like the chefs kiss of the wash routine, providing a smooth and soft finish. Their oils offer superb absorption to the skin, the butters offer incredible nourishing for the beard hair.

The radioactive scent is my personal favourite but all the scents I have sampled up to now are exceptional.

Give them a go and I promise you, you will have to search hard to find finer products for the beard.

I have used so many different beard care brands over the years and I’ve I’ve never really been impressed enough to recommend them to anyone, I ordered a beard butter and oil from this company over the weekend and used it for the 1st time yesterday, My experience was so good that I instantly made another order straight away to stock up, The radioactive scent is to die for and now my wife can’t stop smelling my beard because she loves it so much, I 100% recommend ordering from this brand 👌🏼

Great customer service,
I got the sample box as I am currently on the market for a new brand
I am Definitely a new customer

This is a brand I will be using all the time , thank you for the hard work you have put in to makeing the product's fantastic.... am one HAPPY customer

Im a returning customer absolutely great products ive tryed many uk small batch companies in the past but your products are much more superior ive just ordered the 5 bundle pack ive only got one criticism id love to see a scented balm but that's my choice keep up the good work guys

Amazing company and very friendly and helpful

Beard butter is the nicest I've used , smooth and cleanly applied, scent stays on for a good few hours longer than previous butters I have tried . The balm starts off tough but breaks down with some heat from my hands , gives a great hold without being glue , again long lasting scent . I will be buying again

I recently bought a starter set from this company and must say i am super impressed.
Ive been using beard products from a high street shop for around a year and have never had the results i wanted.
Been using these products and the difference is fantastic really makes my beard feel and look alot better, the smell is amazing and the quality is great.
100% recommend and thanks for the free beenie hat👍👍😁

Great products! Tried the sample kit, the oil is perfect. Great consistency, not watery at all but not too thick. The radioactive scent is the best beard oil scent I've ever tried. The buyer and the balm are also spot on! Will definitely be restocking. Cheers

had the tester bundle and cant fault the service, packaging and product

The customer service here is just next level, within 10 mins of placing my order I was contacted with advice I’d asked about (obviously can’t expect such a quick response all the time with the busy lives they lead!!) it wasn’t just a quick sentence, it was a full in depth explanation about the product I was asking about and advice on what’s best for me. I’ve had a back and forth convo over a couple of days and my sample kit arrived yesterday (only ordered it Sunday afternoon!!!)

I used the butter last night and the oil and balm this morning and my skin is still hydrated!!! There’s been no irritation, and I can still smell the oil (radioactive scent) my beard is very soft and I was not getting anywhere near these results with the oil I was using before trying bearded bear. My face was always greasy, and i could feel the irritation of what I was using, so to eliminate that feeling on day 1 is a winner for me.

Usually I put oil and balm on in the morning and by mid day it’s dry and uncomfortable, so I’m buzzing with these products!!

The sample kit is well worth a try, you get more than enough to figure out if it’s for you or not, but as I say not even 24 hours into using these products and it’s a completely different ball game to what I have been using. Keep up the good work guys!

My favourite scents so far is Radioactive and Executive, but I’m yet to try the others on my beard so will see over the next few days, hopefully I can pick a couple of favourites so I don’t have to order a whole collection straight away 🤣🤣🤣

Great products which have helped my beard look far more healthier. Excellent and personal customer service too!

Great service great product highly recommend help my beard feel more soft and comfortable
