## What buyers say

- Flyaways disappeared completely, keeping my beard neat from morning right through to night. — Charlie Pearson, verified buyer

## How it works

1. **Small Scoop** — scoop a small amount of balm with your fingers
2. **Warm It Up** — rub between palms to soften and warm the balm
3. **Massage Through** — work evenly through your beard and moustache, reaching the skin underneath
4. **Style as Desired** — shape with fingers or a comb for your preferred look

## 1. Condition the beard without weighing it down

**Who it's for:** Any man building a beardkit for the first time.

A beardkit that works starts with conditioning. Not the heavy, greasy kind that makes your beard look wet, but a light blend that softens the hair and leaves it manageable without grease or buildup.

**Why it matters:** Eight natural oils and butters condition every strand for a softer, healthier-feeling beard.

**Tip:** A small amount is all you need; if your beard looks wet after five minutes, you have used too much.

## 2. Nourish the skin underneath so dryness stops

**Who it's for:** Beardsmen with dry, itchy skin or beardruff.

Your beardkit must reach the skin. Most men focus on the hair, but the real problem is the skin beneath, which dries out as the beard grows. A good balm applies to the skin first, then the hair, solving the itch at its source.

**Why it matters:** Sweet almond oil and coconut oil soothe the skin beneath the beard to reduce itch, flaking and irritation.

**Tip:** Make sure to massage the balm down to the skin with your fingertips when applying.

## 3. Provide enough hold to shape your look

**Who it's for:** Guys who want their beard to stay shaped all day.

A beardkit without hold leaves you looking tousled all day. The balm uses natural beeswax to give you enough control to shape your beard the way you want it, with a flexible hold that does not feel stiff.

**Why it matters:** Natural beeswax base gives flexible hold to shape, tame and control your beard throughout the day.

**Tip:** Apply when your beard is slightly damp for easier shaping, then let it dry into the style.

## 4. Tame frizz and flyaways for a sharper look

**Who it's for:** Men whose beards look unkempt or scraggly.

Frizz makes even a long beard look untended. Your beardkit should include something that locks down flyaways and adds definition, so you look intentional and groomed no matter the weather or time of day.

**Why it matters:** Argan oil tames flyaways and adds clean, healthy shine without grease or heaviness.

**Tip:** Comb through your beard after applying the balm to settle the flyaways and shape it the way you want.

## 5. Keep it affordable with subscription savings

**Who it's for:** Men committed to daily beard care.

A good beardkit should not cost a fortune. This balm is £47.97 one-time, but on subscription you pay £9.97 for the first order and then £24.97 every 28 days. You never run out, and you can pause or cancel anytime.

**Why it matters:** Subscribe for £9.97 on the first order, then £24.97 every 28 days with free delivery and returns.

**Tip:** Subscription is worth it if you use the balm daily, which is what keeps your beard looking its best.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need more than one product in my beardkit?

No. A good balm does the job of both an oil and a pomade, so it is the only product most beardsmen need for daily care.

### How do I know if the balm is working?

With daily use, your beard will feel softer and less itchy, and be easier to shape. Regular conditioning helps it look healthier and sharper.

### Does the beardkit work on short beards or only long ones?

It works on all beard lengths. Short stubble, a few weeks of growth, or a full beard all benefit from conditioning and nourishment.

### Can I use this balm if I have sensitive skin?

Yes. The balm is made with organic oils and natural ingredients with no harsh chemicals, so it is gentle on sensitive skin.

### What if I do not like the smell?

The balm has a clean, natural scent. Product pages advertise a 100-day guarantee on SPARTAN BEARD products, so you can try it and get your money back if it is not for you.

### How does the subscription work and how do I cancel?

Your first order is £9.97 for the first 28 days, then £24.97 every 28 days. You can cancel any time.

### What is the guarantee?

Every order is covered by our 100 Day Guarantee, with Free Returns and Free Shipping.
