The reviews say it all. Cécred’s Nourishing Hair Oil is that go-to, no-fuss kind of oil that actually delivers. Designed for dry and dull hair, Nourishing Hair Oil doubles as one of the best beard oils for men thanks to its silicone-free, deeply moisturizing formula.
Grounded in our signature African oil blend and infused with 13 plant-based oils, this lightweight yet potent oil leaves beards soft, flexible, and naturally shiny, without weighing them down. Whether you’re grooming a full beard or a few days of scruff, this is your all-in-one for moisture, shine, and a Temple Oud scent (we’ll get into that) that’ll keep you applying throughout the day.
Dr. Kari Williams, Cécred's Director of Education and Trichologist, breaks down how often to use beard oil, how to use beard oil, the traits of beard hair, and how to maintain it to fit your style.
Can You Use Hair Oil in a Beard?
Yes. You can and should use high-quality hair oil on your beard—especially when it's made without silicones, SLS/SLES, or other pore-clogging ingredients. Cécred’s Nourishing Hair Oil is safe for both scalp and facial hair, delivering nutrients to both the strands and the skin underneath. Facial hair often requires the same kind of moisture support as scalp hair, but the skin underneath your beard is more sensitive. That’s where this oil shines: its silicone-free formula absorbs cleanly, leaving no greasiness .
What Oil is Best for Beards?
The best facial hair oil includes essential fatty acids and is known for softening hair while moisturizing the skin underneath. Baobab, moringa, sweet almond, jojoba, and flaxseed are standouts—all of which are found in Cécred’s Nourishing Hair Oil. These ingredients are both fast, medium, and slow-absorbing to provide balanced moisture that feels light and non-greasy, helping to reduce dryness while adding softness and shine.
This blend also includes castor oil, a favorite for its ability to seal in moisture and coat coarse hair—and black seed, which has antioxidant properties that benefit both the scalp and the hair.
Which Oil is Best for Beard Thickness?
Healthy habits and nourishing ingredients can support your beard. The goal is to create an ideal environment for hair to thrive: moisturized skin, soft strands, and good circulation. Castor oil, sea buckthorn, and sunflower seed help calm skin and reduce breakage, which can make your beard look fuller over time. Regular use of something like Cécred’s Nourishing Hair Oil reinforces the skin’s barrier and supports overall beard health—both of which are essential for visible thickness and density.
Should I Oil My Beard Every Day?
Oil your beard every day, especially if your beard is coarse, curly, or prone to dryness. Daily use helps maintain softness. For best results, use after showering or cleansing, when the beard is slightly damp, to seal in hydration and maintain softness throughout the day. Be sure to massage the oil into both your facial hair and the skin underneath.
