We get it. You’re tired of paying $15 to $50 for a small vial of basic beard oil. Or, perhaps you would like to compete with us (and everyone else for that matter) and source some quality recipes for your making your own beard oil. We get that too.

Word to the wise: if you’re looking to start a beard oil business, it might be worth it to rethink that idea. With low barriers to entry, high margins and a lot of hype in the few outliers who have done well in the beard oil business, it’s saturated and cutthroat. Only the straight razor business is more cutthroat. Pitiful pun very much intended!

If you are truly lazy like most of us, however, you just just order some quality prime time beard oil here.

The difficulty level in making your own beard oil lies somewhere between baking bread and cooking a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s really not that hard. Follow the recipe and you’ll be fine.

Before you go thinking that beard oil manufacturers are rocket surgeons or brain scientists, read below and you will likely conclude that it’s simple enough to mix your very own beard oil from scratch.

This guide is intended to be specifically tailored to those who are a big fan of DIY methods. In creating your own beard oil using these techniques and recipes, be aware that creating your own may mean you will have to deal with a larger quantity of oil.

Beard oil has a shelf-life. It does not last forever. So be aware of the eventual expiration date of your beard oil. This will ensure nothing eventually ends up going to waste.

How Much Can I Save By Making My Own Beard Oil?

The answer to that question depends on the following questions:

How much beard oil are you currently consuming or do you intend to consume in the future?If you have a basic medium beard versus a massive hedge, your beard oil consumption will vary widely. If your consumption is large (or if you intended on splitting a bulk order among a few bearded friends) then you might be able to justify a much larger bulk (say 40 ounce or more) order of carrier oil.

Let’s take the following beard oil consumption assumptions into play:

One Month of Beard Growth= 3 to 4 small drops of beard oil

One to Three Months of Beard Growth= 4 to 6 small drops of beard oil

Three to Twelve Months of Beard Growth= 6 to 10 small drops of beard oil

Twelve Months or More of Beard Growth= 10+ small drops of beard oil

If the average beardsman has three months of growth and uses his beard oil once a day–which is not uncommon–then we can expect to use 2,190 small drops (which equates to about 3.5 to 3.7 fluid ounces) of beard oil annually. This could, of course, ebb and flow depending if the beard grows or if we do some maintenance trimming on occasion.

At this rate you are likely going to consume one to two 2.5 ounce bottles of beard oil each year. Each could run you from $12 to $50 (on the extreme high-end). It’s likely your annual beard oil needs are somewhere between $25 and $100.

How much are you currently paying for your beard oil? The pricing of various beard oil brands can range between $10 to $50 for a small couple ounce vial. A price comparison will depend on what you are currently paying.

What brand(s) of carrier and essential oils will you be purchasing? Again, what you save, depends on what you spend. It also depends on volume. There are differences in both quality and price here as well that can significantly change the price of the oil you are purchasing.

Asking a few of these essential questions will allow you to truly compare what you are currently spending with the savings you will obtain from making your own beard oil.

Beard Oil Essentials: Carrier Oil

Beard oil is typically comprised of some type of carrier oil mixed with the right amount and type of essential oils. Here are some of the most common types of carrier oils used in beard oil:

  1. Jojoba Oil
  2. Coconut Oil
  3. Olive Oil
  4. Almond Oil
  5. Avocado Oil
  6. Argan Oil
  7. Moringa Oil
  8. Grapeseed Oil
  9. Moringa Oil
  10. Castor Oil
  11. Apricot Kernel Oil
  12. Black Seed Oil
  13. Babassu Oil
  14. Neem Oil
  15. Primrose Oil
  16. Rosehip Oil
  17. Hemp Seed Oil
  18. Emu Oil
  19. Flaxseed Oil
  20. Wheat Germ Oil
  21. Tamanu Oil

Keep in mind, not all carrier oils are created equal, nor are the best use cases for one oil, the same best use cases for another.

In the end, the carrier oil simply provides the “base” for the various flavored beard oils you might create. It also makes up the majority (by volume) of all the ingredients included in your beard oil.

Perhaps the most common carrier oil used in beard oils is Jojoba. Pure, quality Jojoba oil is a great carrier oil base for creating the best beard oil.

Jojoba Oil is most like the natural oils produced by your skin than perhaps any of the other oils listed above.

But, if you are purchasing Jojoba Oil as your carrier oil of choice for your beard oil recipe, you will want to make sure you purchase cold-pressed Jojoba. Other extraction methods use heat in the processing of the oil which can denature the oil’s best properties.

The same holds true for all the other oils listed above. When you purchase them, make sure they are cold-pressed.

However, nothing is restricting you from sourcing any of the other carrier oils from the list above and doing some of your own experimenting.

In some cases, the carrier oil itself may 1) have its own aroma that distracts from any additional additives (e.g. essential oils) and 2) may break down and become rancid more quickly. I prefer to get an oil that is both neutral in smell and flavor and tends to have a longer shelf life.

You can certainly save some coin by brewing your own beard oil. But, iff you are looking to save money, you will save the most by buying your ingredients in bulk. Volume discounts are great, but just be sure you will be able to use all that carrier and essential oil before the expiration date.

Beard Oil Essentials: Essential Oil

It is true that the carrier oil you use will be doing most of the heavy lifting of moisturizing the beard against scrag, scruff and itch. However, the secondary, and perhaps most important, component of a quality beard oil are essential oils. In recent years, the benefits of essential oils have been greatly oversold by many a multi-level marketer. However, there are a great deal of benefits to essential oils that should not be overlooked.

Essential oils can not only be anti-bacterial in nature, but some can also increase the flow of blood to your beard, creating a better environment for beard growth stimulation. This is not likely to necessarily solve the problems of a patchy beard, but may still prove helpful in promoting additional follicle maturation and growth. Finally, essential oils also provide the great smells many beard oil connoisseurs have become accustomed to.

The mixture of carrier oil and essential oil in varying beard oil recipes can be mixed and matched in any way you like. However, recipes can help you determine which essential oils–and in what ratios and quantities–will make for the very best flavor and aroma combination.

The essential oil list below is provided based on the assumption that your beard oil will contain a top note, a medium note and a base note. We will delve into these later as we discuss various beard oil recipes.

Angelica* Geranium** Parsley**
Anise*** Ginger* Patchouli*
Basil*** Grapefruit*** Palmarosa**
Bay** Helicrysum* Peppermint***
Benzoin* Hyssop** Petitgrain***
Bergamot*** Jasmine** Pine**

Dill** Neroli** Tuberose***
Elemi** Niaouli** Vanilla*
Eucalyptus*** Nutmeg** Vetiver*
Fennel*** Oakmoss* Yarrow**
Frankincense* Orange*** Ylang Ylang*
Galbanum*** Oregano**

* = Base Note
** = Middle Note
***= Top Note

As you can see, the options and combinations are virtually limitless. While it may be tempting to immediately go rogue and start creating your own concoctions, it will be best served to start with some tried and true recipes before branching off on your own.

There are some great options for purchasing samplers that include most of not all of the above listed essential oils which will allow you to run wild on your creativity once you get the hang of some basic recipes.

Choosing a Bottle for Your Beard Oil

Once you have created your beard oil, not just any bottle should do for the storage of your beard oil.

Why? Both the carrier and essential oils that make up your beard oil are sensitive to light and particularly sensitive to the ultraviolet rays put off by the sun. This is one of the reasons you rarely (how about never) see a beard oil container that is perfectly clear. Most are made with blue, amber or tinted bottles.

The other potential features of beard oil bottles to consider are:

  1. Glass vs. Plastic. There are pros and cons to using glass and plastic. Glass has a greater tendency to break (regardless of whether you’re buying or selling), but plastic tends to be a bit more expensive. Also, glass is also less polar, which means it tends to be more friendly on the chemical nature of the oils in the vial. This is one of the reasons you rarely see plastic vials and containers used in chemical labs. It’s always glass.
  2. Dropper vs. Spray. A spray head vs. a dropper head is all a matter of preference. A spray head tends to work better for those with a larger hedge that requires you to spread it out over a big surface area. If you are applying to other body parts, like your testicles for instance, it is advised that you opt for the spray head over the dropper head.

Preferences are typically personal to the beard oil user. Regardless of the type of bottle you intend to purchase, you can usually purchase a minimum order quantity (MOQ) that will not be too large and easily fill a completed batch from your larger carrier and essential oil containers.

The cost for the containers differ by size and type. You can typically get a couple ounce amber glass bottle with a dropper for just over $0.50, always under $1 + shipping of course.

The size of the bottle you purchase will depend on your consumption of the oil. For instance a 4 ounce bottle may last you an entire year. Just be aware of how much volume you might require to fill each bottle you create.

Once you own the bottle, the best news is that it can be reused on your next experimental batch of beard oil.

Just note that before each batch of oil that is placed into your bottles, be sure to sterilize your bottles using boiling water.

When sterilizing the bottles, be sure to remove the rubber from the bottle head as it can be damaged during the boiling and sterilization process.

Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and place your glass amber bottles (devoid of the rubber heads) in there for several minutes. Take them out with some tongs and set them aside to dry. Once they are dry, you can then replace the rubber heads with the glass shaft.

Beard Oil Recipes

Now that we’ve run through many of the basics of prep and introduction, it’s time to dive right in, but before we do I want to re-emphasize the need for watching your ratios.

Even if you do not have sensitive skin, essential oils, if not properly diluted can burn and irritate your skin. Pay close attention to the recipes here, but be aware that you should test the complete oils on a less sensitive body part like an arm or a leg.

Creating Your Own Beard Oil Recipes

Beard oil has a shelf-life. It does not last forever. So be aware of the eventual expiration date of your beard oil. This will ensure nothing eventually ends up going to waste.

How Much Can I Save By Making My Own Beard Oil?

The answer to that question depends on the following questions:

How much beard oil are you currently consuming or do you intend to consume in the future?If you have a basic medium beard versus a massive hedge, your beard oil consumption will vary widely. If your consumption is large (or if you intended on splitting a bulk order among a few bearded friends) then you might be able to justify a much larger bulk (say 40 ounce or more) order of carrier oil.

Let’s take the following beard oil consumption assumptions into play:

One Month of Beard Growth= 3 to 4 small drops of beard oil

One to Three Months of Beard Growth= 4 to 6 small drops of beard oil

Three to Twelve Months of Beard Growth= 6 to 10 small drops of beard oil

Twelve Months or More of Beard Growth= 10+ small drops of beard oil

If the average beardsman has three months of growth and uses his beard oil once a day–which is not uncommon–then we can expect to use 2,190 small drops (which equates to about 3.5 to 3.7 fluid ounces) of beard oil annually. This could, of course, ebb and flow depending if the beard grows or if we do some maintenance trimming on occasion.

At this rate you are likely going to consume one to two 2.5 ounce bottles of beard oil each year. Each could run you from $12 to $50 (on the extreme high-end). It’s likely your annual beard oil needs are somewhere between $25 and $100.

How much are you currently paying for your beard oil? The pricing of various beard oil brands can range between $10 to $50 for a small couple ounce vial. A price comparison will depend on what you are currently paying.

What brand(s) of carrier and essential oils will you be purchasing? Again, what you save, depends on what you spend. It also depends on volume. There are differences in both quality and price here as well that can significantly change the price of the oil you are purchasing.

Asking a few of these essential questions will allow you to truly compare what you are currently spending with the savings you will obtain from making your own beard oil.

Beard Oil Essentials: Carrier Oil

Beard oil is typically comprised of some type of carrier oil mixed with the right amount and type of essential oils. Here are some of the most common types of carrier oils used in beard oil:

  1. Jojoba Oil
  2. Coconut Oil
  3. Olive Oil
  4. Almond Oil
  5. Avocado Oil
  6. Argan Oil
  7. Moringa Oil
  8. Grapeseed Oil
  9. Moringa Oil
  10. Castor Oil
  11. Apricot Kernel Oil
  12. Black Seed Oil
  13. Babassu Oil
  14. Neem Oil
  15. Primrose Oil
  16. Rosehip Oil
  17. Hemp Seed Oil
  18. Emu Oil
  19. Flaxseed Oil
  20. Wheat Germ Oil
  21. Tamanu Oil

Keep in mind, not all carrier oils are created equal, nor are the best use cases for one oil, the same best use cases for another.

In the end, the carrier oil simply provides the “base” for the various flavored beard oils you might create. It also makes up the majority (by volume) of all the ingredients included in your beard oil.

Perhaps the most common carrier oil used in beard oils is Jojoba. Pure, quality Jojoba oil is a great carrier oil base for creating the best beard oil.

Jojoba Oil is most like the natural oils produced by your skin than perhaps any of the other oils listed above.

But, if you are purchasing Jojoba Oil as your carrier oil of choice for your beard oil recipe, you will want to make sure you purchase cold-pressed Jojoba. Other extraction methods use heat in the processing of the oil which can denature the oil’s best properties.

The same holds true for all the other oils listed above. When you purchase them, make sure they are cold-pressed.

However, nothing is restricting you from sourcing any of the other carrier oils from the list above and doing some of your own experimenting.

In some cases, the carrier oil itself may 1) have its own aroma that distracts from any additional additives (e.g. essential oils) and 2) may break down and become rancid more quickly. I prefer to get an oil that is both neutral in smell and flavor and tends to have a longer shelf life.

You can certainly save some coin by brewing your own beard oil. But, iff you are looking to save money, you will save the most by buying your ingredients in bulk. Volume discounts are great, but just be sure you will be able to use all that carrier and essential oil before the expiration date.

Beard Oil Essentials: Essential Oil

It is true that the carrier oil you use will be doing most of the heavy lifting of moisturizing the beard against scrag, scruff and itch. However, the secondary, and perhaps most important, component of a quality beard oil are essential oils. In recent years, the benefits of essential oils have been greatly oversold by many a multi-level marketer. However, there are a great deal of benefits to essential oils that should not be overlooked.

Essential oils can not only be anti-bacterial in nature, but some can also increase the flow of blood to your beard, creating a better environment for beard growth stimulation. This is not likely to necessarily solve the problems of a patchy beard, but may still prove helpful in promoting additional follicle maturation and growth. Finally, essential oils also provide the great smells many beard oil connoisseurs have become accustomed to.

The mixture of carrier oil and essential oil in varying beard oil recipes can be mixed and matched in any way you like. However, recipes can help you determine which essential oils–and in what ratios and quantities–will make for the very best flavor and aroma combination.

The essential oil list below is provided based on the assumption that your beard oil will contain a top note, a medium note and a base note. We will delve into these later as we discuss various beard oil recipes.

Angelica* Geranium** Parsley**
Anise*** Ginger* Patchouli*
Basil*** Grapefruit*** Palmarosa**
Bay** Helicrysum* Peppermint***
Benzoin* Hyssop** Petitgrain***
Bergamot*** Jasmine** Pine**
Cajuput** Juniper** Ravensara***
Chamomile** Lavandin*** Rose**
Cardamom** Lavender*** Rosemary**
Carrot seed** Lemon*** Rosewood**
Cedarwood* Lemongrass*** Sandalwood*
Cinnamon** Lime*** Spearmint***
Citronella*** Mandarin*** Spikenard*
Clary Sage** Manuka** Tagetes***
Clove** Marjoram** Tangerine***
Coriander** Myrrh* Tea Tree**
Cypress** Myrtle*** Thyme**
Dill** Neroli** Tuberose***
Elemi** Niaouli** Vanilla*
Eucalyptus*** Nutmeg** Vetiver*
Fennel*** Oakmoss* Yarrow**
Frankincense* Orange*** Ylang Ylang*
Galbanum*** Oregano**

* = Base Note
** = Middle Note
***= Top Note

As you can see, the options and combinations are virtually limitless. While it may be tempting to immediately go rogue and start creating your own concoctions, it will be best served to start with some tried and true recipes before branching off on your own.

There are some great options for purchasing samplers that include most of not all of the above listed essential oils which will allow you to run wild on your creativity once you get the hang of some basic recipes.

Choosing a Bottle for Your Beard Oil

Once you have created your beard oil, not just any bottle should do for the storage of your beard oil.

Why? Both the carrier and essential oils that make up your beard oil are sensitive to light and particularly sensitive to the ultraviolet rays put off by the sun. This is one of the reasons you rarely (how about never) see a beard oil container that is perfectly clear. Most are made with blue, amber or tinted bottles.

The other potential features of beard oil bottles to consider are:

  1. Glass vs. Plastic. There are pros and cons to using glass and plastic. Glass has a greater tendency to break (regardless of whether you’re buying or selling), but plastic tends to be a bit more expensive. Also, glass is also less polar, which means it tends to be more friendly on the chemical nature of the oils in the vial. This is one of the reasons you rarely see plastic vials and containers used in chemical labs. It’s always glass.
  2. Dropper vs. Spray. A spray head vs. a dropper head is all a matter of preference. A spray head tends to work better for those with a larger hedge that requires you to spread it out over a big surface area. If you are applying to other body parts, like your testicles for instance, it is advised that you opt for the spray head over the dropper head.

Preferences are typically personal to the beard oil user. Regardless of the type of bottle you intend to purchase, you can usually purchase a minimum order quantity (MOQ) that will not be too large and easily fill a completed batch from your larger carrier and essential oil containers.

The cost for the containers differ by size and type. You can typically get a couple ounce amber glass bottle with a dropper for just over $0.50, always under $1 + shipping of course.

The size of the bottle you purchase will depend on your consumption of the oil. For instance a 4 ounce bottle may last you an entire year. Just be aware of how much volume you might require to fill each bottle you create.

Once you own the bottle, the best news is that it can be reused on your next experimental batch of beard oil.

Just note that before each batch of oil that is placed into your bottles, be sure to sterilize your bottles using boiling water.

When sterilizing the bottles, be sure to remove the rubber from the bottle head as it can be damaged during the boiling and sterilization process.

Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and place your glass amber bottles (devoid of the rubber heads) in there for several minutes. Take them out with some tongs and set them aside to dry. Once they are dry, you can then replace the rubber heads with the glass shaft.

Beard Oil Recipes

Now that we’ve run through many of the basics of prep and introduction, it’s time to dive right in, but before we do I want to re-emphasize the need for watching your ratios.

Even if you do not have sensitive skin, essential oils, if not properly diluted can burn and irritate your skin. Pay close attention to the recipes here, but be aware that you should test the complete oils on a less sensitive body part like an arm or a leg.
