O PIONEER GROOMING CO.

One of our favorite carrier oils, cold pressed organic Hemp Seed Oil is chock full of essential fatty acids (especially Omega 3’s and 6’s), contains complete proteins, is high in vitamins A, C, and E, and closely matches our own skin lipids. What this means is that the easily absorbed Hemp Seed Oil moisturizes and nourishes beard hair, while the added proteins help strengthen hair. The skin beneath the beard also gains from the oil as it helps sooth and alleviate dry skin, and protect the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

Often when people complain about beards because they are dry and scratchy; we use Coconut Oil to fight that dryness. The Coconut Oil softens and moisturizes beard hair, and provides a protective barrier on the skin. What makes it Fractionated? Normally coconut oil is solid at room temperature, but when it is steam distilled the long chain triglycerides are removed, the result is a liquid oil with the same emollient and moisturizing capabilities as it’s solid, unprocessed version.

This is an oil you’ve probably never heard of before. Abyssinian Oil is fairly new on the scene, but is a moisturizing powerhouse with a high erucic acid percentage. Rapidly absorbed by the hair, Abyssinian Oil increases beard luster, and strengthens and conditions hair while increasing its manageability by lubricating and detangling hair follicles.

We picked this light weight oil for it’s ability to penetrate into follicle roots to strengthen them while moisturizing dry, flaky, and sensitive skin. This keeps your skin healthy while reducing or eliminating beard-druff. As an added benefit, Rice Bran Oil contains gamma-oryzanol and tocotrienols, powerful antioxidants, which help protect hair and skin from UV light.

Castor Oil is one of our sealing oils, in that it isn’t readily absorbed by hair or skin. This is good as Castor Oil will lock in moisture (much of it provided by the preceding carrier oils) helping make a beard look fuller with a healthy sheen, reduces split ends, and will protect hair and skin from harsh environmental conditions.

Our other sealing oil, or rather a sealing liquid wax. The Golden Jojoba Oil is similar to sebum (oil your skin produces), rich in vitamins E and B, providing a barrier on the skin to retain the benefits of our other moisturizing and condition oils. Considered anti-inflammatory, it also provides a smooth, satiny feel to your beard hair.
