A thick, coarse beard looks rough and unfinished, no matter how long you have grown it. Without the right conditioning, it sits frizzy and dull, and the skin underneath gets itchy and dry. Cocoa butter beard balm is the fix: it adds shine and smoothness, seals in moisture, and gives you control to shape it how you want. Here are six ways SPARTAN BEARD™ Balm, powered by cocoa butter and seven other organic oils and butters, does all three.

## 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. Add shine and smoothness that cocoa butter delivers

**Who it's for:** Anyone whose beard looks dull and feels rough.

Cocoa butter is what makes the difference between a beard that looks matte and one that catches the light. It adds a clean, healthy shine that makes your beard look fuller and more intentional, not greasy.

**Why it matters:** Cocoa butter adds shine and smoothness while sealing in moisture for a softer beard.

**Tip:** A small scoop is enough; warm it between your palms before you work it through so it spreads evenly.

## 2. Nourish dry skin beneath the beard so it stops itching

**Who it's for:** Beardsmen with itch, flaking or irritation under the beard.

Beard itch starts with dry, irritated skin underneath, not the hair itself. Sweet almond oil in the blend is there to calm that skin directly, so the flaking and scratching stops.

**Why it matters:** Sweet almond oil soothes the skin beneath the beard and helps prevent itch and irritation.

**Tip:** Massage the balm down to the skin with your fingertips, not just coat the hair on top.

## 3. Tame frizz and flyaways so they stay in place

**Who it's for:** Guys with wiry, coarse or curly beards that will not sit flat.

A frizzy beard looks uncontrolled. Argan oil strengthens each strand and smooths the cuticle, so flyaways stay tucked and your beard holds a sharper line all day.

**Why it matters:** Argan oil tames frizz and strengthens hair, helping reduce breakage and flyaways.

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

## 4. Condition every strand for softness that lasts

**Who it's for:** Men who want a softer, more pleasant-to-touch beard.

Coarse hair is uncomfortable for you and anyone near you. The blend of coconut, jojoba, argan, sweet almond and grapeseed oils works together to soften the whole beard from root to tip, day after day.

**Why it matters:** 8 natural oils and butters condition every strand for a softer, healthier-feeling beard.

**Tip:** Daily use is what keeps it soft; one application a week will not hold the conditioning.

## 5. Support healthy growth conditions in the skin beneath

**Who it's for:** Anyone who wants their beard to look thicker and healthier over time.

Healthy follicles produce healthier-looking beard growth. Jojoba mimics your skin's own oils and nourishes the follicles underneath, so over time your beard looks fuller, stronger and more vital.

**Why it matters:** Jojoba oil conditions hair and mimics natural skin oils to support healthy growth conditions.

**Tip:** Apply every day and give it four to six weeks to see the improvement in thickness and health.

## 6. Get all-day styling hold without the grease

**Who it's for:** Style-conscious men who want control and a professional finish.

A balm has to hold the shape you want without feeling heavy or looking wet. The beeswax base gives you flexible control all day, and because the formula is non-greasy, you can reapply without buildup.

Start with the £9.97 first order on subscription, then £24.97 every 28 days. One-time purchase is £37.97.

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

**Tip:** Rewarm a small amount between your palms if the balm has cooled; it spreads and shapes better when warm.
