12 Best Beard Oils for Every Beard Type 2025

If you're after an affordable, natural option, Classic Beard Oil ($13.87) is a solid pick that scored 7/10 in our testing. Made in the USA from organic jojoba and argan oils, we found it moisturizes skin, softens hair, and tames flyaways without leaving oily residue. During our review the spicy, sweet scent divided us—some likened it to black licorice and found it overpowering—and we noticed it dries out quicker than many blends. If scent doesn't bother you, its moisturizing, taming, and shine-enhancing performance is a bargain for daily grooming.

We found Best Damn Beard Oil to be an impressive budget performer — at $12 it earned a 7.5/10 for moisturizing and softening thanks to jojoba and argan oils. During our review it tamed unruly hairs and added subtle shine, making it great for daily grooming. However, our experience shows the scent quality is inconsistent and some bottles smelled artificial, and the dropper top was frustratingly hard to use when measuring small amounts. If you can overlook those quirks, it's a wallet-friendly conditioner that delivers where it matters most.

We found Wild Willies Beard Oil to be a wallet-friendly hydrator at about $8.30 that earned a 6/10 for basic conditioning. Its blend of jojoba, argan, coconut oil, and vitamin E softened and made beards more manageable in our testing, and the pump dispenser keeps application mess-free. However some testers complained the consistency was too thick, a few reported an unpleasant motor-oil-like smell, and greasiness sometimes lingered and stained clothing. For budget buyers, it's a decent everyday option if you apply sparingly.

During our review Jack Black Beard Oil showed thoughtful formulation and a pleasant, subtle citrus-leaning scent that most testers appreciated, earning a solid 7/10. We found jojoba, argan, and vitamin E helped moisturize and add shine, making facial hair look healthier with regular use. A downside we noticed was that even small amounts could leave a greasy feel for longer than expected, and its $28 price sits above many competitors. If you prefer a refined scent and don't mind paying more, it's an easy reach.

During our testing Beard Boost Serum stood out for including biotin and caffeine at an affordable $10 price, promising to support beard growth. We found the lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbed quickly and felt comfortable under skin. However its effectiveness varied considerably in our experience, some users saw gains while others saw no improvement, and a few reported an unpleasant odor. Packaging issues that caused leaks also lowered its usefulness, so manage expectations if you try it.

During our review the Starter Growth Kit looked promising on paper—it's packed with a derma roller and a growth oil blend of castor and coconut oils—but its overall score landed at 5/10. We found the derma roller can stimulate new growth when used correctly, and the oil formulation does support follicle health in some users. However our experience shows serious downsides: customers reported subscription and unauthorized charge problems and the included vitamins have an overpowering aftertaste. If you're curious about hair growth tools, proceed cautiously and read the fine print.

If you need value, the Sandalwood Beard Oil 3-Pack (about $22.88) is a budget-friendly way to stock up, and it earned a middling 6.5/10 in our testing. During our review we appreciated the natural jojoba and argan oils that moisturize and tame whiskers, but we also noticed a greasy residue on some testers that could transfer to clothing. The sandalwood scent is pleasant at first but fades quickly according to our experience, so this pack is best for guys who want economical conditioning rather than a long-lasting fragrance statement.

Scotch Porter Beard Oil earned its high 9/10 rating in our testing by delivering deep nourishment and consistent conditioning across all beard types. Formulated with jojoba and avocado seed oils, we found it moisturizes skin, softens hair, tames flyaways, and leaves an attractive shine that lasts through the day. During our review most testers loved the spicy scent, though some flagged it as too strong and the price is a bit higher at $14.99 than entry-level oils. If you value performance over subtlety, this is one of our top-rated oils.

In our testing Citrus Vigor Beard Oil stood out for fresh, made-to-order production and bright citrus essential oils that give an energizing scent, helping it score 7.5/10. We found grapeseed and sweet almond oils condition and hydrate very well, leaving beards softer and tamer without feeling heavy. During our review the blend of sweet orange, tangerine, mandarin, clove, and spearmint added complexity, though its availability is limited mostly to online orders. If you want fresh small-batch oils that perform, this is a strong mid-priced pick.

In our testing Striking Viking Vanilla Beard Oil proved to be a surprisingly effective budget option at just $7.98, earning a solid 7/10 for softening and conditioning thanks to a jojoba, argan, and grapeseed base with vitamin E. We found the non-greasy, quick-absorbing formula tamed flyaways, reduced itchiness and dandruff, and added a pleasant shine for daily use. During our review the vanilla-floral scent was polarizing—some testers called it too strong or synthetic—and our experience shows a small number of users reported skin irritation, so patch-test before committing.

During our review Tom Ford's Oud Wood Beard Oil impressed with luxe packaging and a woodsy fragrance, but at $65 for 30 ml it scores a modest 6.5/10 because value suffers. We found the formula's blend of jojoba, almond, grapeseed oils and vitamin E does moisturize and soften effectively during short-term use. In testing the scent faded quickly and conditioning felt minimal compared with similarly priced competitors. Our experience shows this one is best for fragrance lovers who prioritize scent and brand prestige over long-lasting conditioning.

Shine Hair & Beard Oil (about $37) is marketed as a lightweight nourishing treatment but in our testing it scored a modest 6/10 because price, scent, and heft divided opinion. We found the jojoba and grapeseed blend with vitamin E does moisturize, tame frizz, and add shine, yet during our review several testers said the oil felt heavier than expected and the citrus scent wasn't to their taste. Our experience shows you must use very sparingly to avoid pilling or a greasy finish.
