What is Beard Oil?

Beard oil is a conditioning oil used to soften and moisturize the beard and the skin underneath it.

What is Peppermint Oil?

In this case, peppermint oil is referring to peppermint essential oil which is the oil released when peppermint leaves are steam distilled.

Ingredient Notes

Jojoba oil: A light carrier oil that absorbs well and won't leave your beard greasy, which makes it a great choice for beard oil. Alternatively, grapeseed oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil, or coconut oil can be used in this oil blend. As always, I do recommend purchasing organic ingredients for this DIY for best results.

Peppermint essential oil: Use a high-quality, pure essential oil for the best scent.

How to Make Beard Oil

Simply place both ingredients into the vessel of your choosing (I like to use a small glass bottle), place a lid on, and then give a gentle shake to combine.

How Do I Use Peppermint Beard Oil?

Place a small amount of beard oil into the palms of your hands.
Gently massage your beard, being certain to reach the skin beneath the beard, rubbing both with and against hair growth until your beard feels thoroughly coated.

Please note: peppermint beard oil is designed for external use only. If you develop any skin irritation, stop using it.

Storage

With proper clean use, peppermint beard oil will keep well in a lidded container kept in a cool, dark place for up to one year.

Equipment

Materials

2 ounces jojoba oil
30 drops pure peppermint essential oil

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a lidded glass bottle, combine the jojoba oil and peppermint oil.
Give it a good, gentle shake to combine.
When ready to use, dispense a dime-sized amount into the palms of your hands and massage into the beard thoroughly.
Keep stored in a dark, cool place for up to one year.

Notes

Carrier oil swaps: Jojoba is my favorite here, but grapeseed oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil, or coconut oil all work too. If you use coconut oil, it will solidify in cooler temperatures, so warm the bottle in your hands before using. Olive oil is a little heavier and has more of its own scent.
