Ingredients for the Best Beard Balm Recipe

• 2 tblsp Beeswax
• 1/4 c Shea Butter
• 1 tsp Coconut Oil
• 2 tblsp Jojoba Oil
• 2 tblsp Arrowroot Powder
• 10 drops Essential Oil of Your Choice (optional)

How to Make the Best Beard Balm Recipe

In a small bowl, add jojoba oil and arrowroot. Mix well to make a paste. Set aside.

In a small, microwave safe bowl, combine shea butter and beeswax.

Microwave in 30 second intervals. After each interval, stir well. The total time to melt is about 1 minute 30 seconds. You will be tempted to put it in for the whole 1 minutes and 30 seconds, but don’t do that. Do it in 30 second intervals as you don’t want to scorch the ingredients.

Stir in coconut oil and the paste you made earlier. Mix well. This step is optional, but you can add essential oils if you like. Just remember when it comes to essential oils in your beard balm less is better and make sure to mix it in well.

Now that it all is mixed well. Let cool for about 10 minutes and stir. As it cools, it should start to have a texture like a cream. Put the beard balm into a small container. This small beard balm container works well.

Now you have some awesome homemade beard balm that you know exactly what went into it. Once you make it and love it like we do, you can make it in larger batches. I even made some larger batches then divided it up before I put the essential oils in, then I was able to add different oils in to test them out.

How to Use the Best Beard Balm Recipe

The mixture will be firm. Grab a small amount (about the size of a pea), and rub it between your palms. The heat from your hands will soften and “melt” the pommade. Rub as much as desired onto the beard to control unruly hair. Now your beard will look sharp and be smelling fresh. Remember the beard balm makes a great gift for any man that loves to keep his beard looking sharp.
