Beard Care
Questions
Yes. Beard oil helps moisturise the skin beneath your beard while conditioning the beard hair itself. Regular use can reduce dryness, soften coarse hair and help minimise beard itch and flakes.
No. Beard oil will not create new hair follicles or change your genetics.
However, keeping the skin healthy and hydrated creates a better environment for existing beard hair to grow comfortably and look healthier.
Most people benefit from using beard oil once a day.
If you have particularly dry skin, live in a cold climate or spend a lot of time outdoors, you may prefer applying it morning and evening.
The best time is after showering when your beard is clean and slightly damp.
This helps lock in moisture while allowing the oil to spread evenly.
Less than you think.
- Short beard: 2–3 drops
- Medium beard: 4–6 drops
- Long beard: 6–10 drops
Adjust based on your beard length and thickness.
Both. Massage the oil into the skin beneath your beard first, then work the remaining product through the beard itself.
Healthy skin creates healthier beards.
Beard balm conditions facial hair while providing light hold to help tame flyaways and create a tidier appearance.
It also helps lock in moisture throughout the day.
Not necessarily. Both products serve different purposes.
Some people prefer beard oil alone, others enjoy beard balm, while many incorporate both into their routine. The best routine is simply the one that suits your beard.
About ROS
Questions
Most beard care focuses on the beard. We focus on where your beard begins.
Every ingredient is selected to nourish the skin beneath your beard while keeping facial hair soft, healthy and easy to manage.
ROS products are proudly made in New Zealand using carefully selected premium ingredients.
Bakuchiol is widely respected in premium skincare for supporting healthy-looking skin.
Including it reflects our belief that beard care should care for the skin beneath the beard, not just the hair itself.
Argan oil is an excellent ingredient and has earned its place in beard care.
For ROS, we chose baobab oil because it better aligned with our skin-first philosophy, offering exceptional nourishment while remaining beautifully lightweight.
Every ingredient in our formula is selected for a reason, not simply because it is popular.
Our formulas are built around carefully selected botanical ingredients that are gentle enough for everyday use.
As with any skincare product, we recommend patch testing before first use, particularly if you have known sensitivities.
Absolutely. Our beard oil and beard balm are designed to become part of your daily grooming ritual.
No. Our lightweight botanical oils are chosen for their ability to absorb well while leaving the beard soft and natural rather than oily.
Because grooming should feel intentional, not like another task.
Taking a few minutes each day to care for your beard and the skin beneath it is a simple ritual that helps you feel more put together.
