Top Beard Wash Ingredients to Look Out For

Moisturizers

Moisturizers, or humectants, perform the double duty of hydrating your skin and delivering vitamins and minerals deeper into your skin’s inner layers.

1. Aloe Vera

Try using aloe vera gel as a shaving cream, and you’ll see how this plant keeps your skin supple and healthy. It is also effective for preventing razor burn and minimizing skin reactions due to shaving.

2. Argan Oil

Moroccans have long used this oil extracted from the nuts of the argan tree for its moisturizing and hair growth properties. It also prevents acne from breaking out and smoothens wrinkles.

3. Avocado Oil

Avocado oil’s main use is to nourish the skin. Aside from that, people use avocado oil to help wounds heal faster, to manage psoriasis, and to relieve skin inflammation due to eczema.

4. Blackcurrant Seed Extract Oil

This oil works wonders for the skin by treating conditions like dermatitis and eczema. It’s basically a vitamin booster for your dermis (aka skin).

5. Beeswax

Beeswax combats bacterial infections and protects your beard hairs from wear and tear. It’s always a good ingredient to have in your beard wash.

6. Castor Oil

Castor oil is amazing at drawing moisture to the skin. It’s great as a beard wash ingredient because of its antimicrobial qualities and anti-inflammatory properties.

7. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is not only an effective moisturizer, but it is also great at killing bacteria. It penetrates your skin more than any other kind of oil.
