What Are the Benefits of Beard Oil? Why Every Bearded Man Needs It

Growing a beard is one thing—keeping it healthy, soft, and itch-free is another. That’s where beard oil comes in. Whether your beard is short stubble or a long, flowing mane, beard oil keeps it looking and feeling its best.

But what exactly does it do? Let’s break down the top benefits of beard oil and why it’s a must-have in your grooming routine.


Top Benefits of Beard Oil

Hydrates and nourishes your skin – Stops dryness and itchiness.
Softens beard hair – Makes it smoother and easier to manage.
Prevents beard dandruff ("beardruff") – Keeps flaky skin away.
Reduces irritation and ingrown hairs – Soothes the skin beneath your beard.
Encourages healthier beard growth – Strengthens hair to prevent breakage.
Adds a natural shine – Keeps your beard looking well-groomed.
Enhances your beard’s scent – Leaves a subtle, masculine fragrance.


1. Hydrates and Prevents Beard Itch

Beard itch is one of the biggest struggles for men growing a beard. That’s because the skin beneath your beard gets dry, leading to flaking, irritation, and discomfort.

👉 Solution: Beard oil replenishes moisture, keeping both your beard and skin hydrated so you can grow your beard itch-free.


2. Softens and Strengthens Beard Hair

A dry, rough beard feels coarse, tangles easily, and breaks more often.

👉 Solution: Beard oil softens hair from the inside out, making your beard smoother, more manageable, and resistant to breakage.


3. Eliminates Beardruff (Beard Dandruff)

Nobody wants to deal with flaky, dry skin falling from their beard onto their shirt. Beardruff happens when your skin is too dry and irritated.

👉 Solution: Beard oil keeps your skin moisturized and balanced, preventing flakes before they start.


4. Reduces Irritation and Ingrown Hairs

Beard hair can curl and grow back into the skin, causing painful ingrown hairs and irritation.

👉 Solution: Beard oil softens the hair and skin, reducing friction and allowing hair to grow freely without irritation.


5. Encourages Healthier Beard Growth

While beard oil won’t create new hair follicles, it does support healthy growth by:

  • Keeping hair follicles nourished
  • Reducing split ends and breakage
  • Ensuring a fuller, healthier beard over time

👉 Solution: Regular use of beard oil helps your beard reach its fullest potential.


6. Adds a Natural Shine Without Looking Greasy

A dull, dry beard can look lifeless and rough.

👉 Solution: Beard oil adds a subtle, natural shine, making your beard look healthy and well-groomed—without feeling greasy.


7. Enhances Your Beard’s Scent

Your beard is right under your nose, so why not make it smell great? Instead of overpowering colognes or artificial sprays, beard oil provides a subtle, long-lasting fragrance that’s both masculine and natural.

👉 Solution: Ragnarodney’s premium beard oils feature bold, Norse-inspired scents like Yggdrasil and Kvasir’s Mead—keeping your beard fresh all day.


How to Use Beard Oil for Maximum Results

Apply After a Shower – Helps oil absorb better when pores are open.
Use 3-6 Drops – Adjust based on beard length.
Massage Into Skin & Beard – Hydrates from the roots up.
Comb or Brush Through – Evenly distributes the oil.

💡 Pro Tip: Consistency is key—using beard oil daily ensures your beard stays soft, hydrated, and strong.


Final Verdict: Is Beard Oil Worth It? Absolutely.

Beard oil isn’t just about looks—it’s about health, comfort, and beard maintenance.

Beards best friend.

This is it! This is the stuff! I’ve been looking for the right oil and products for years. And I’ve tried tons! But this by far has the best feeling and smell. When you put the oil in your beard, it isn’t sticky and doesn’t make you feel like you put engine oil on your face! Instead it feels like the heavenly dew from the branches of Yggdrasil itself have fallen and nestled onto your beard making you feel like a true Norse God! I guarantee Thor himself uses these products on his golden facial hair. It is just so light and refreshing! It feels perfect it feels right! And the SMELL!!!! I probably look like an idiot the way I’m smelling my beard nonstop. When you look up Ragnarodney in the dictionary it says “What God intended Man to smell like”. Needless to say, these are the greatest products in all 9 worlds. Truly your Beards best friend hands down!!!!

Best beard oil I’ve used

A great scent

I chose the original scent. A couple drops in the beard and it's good to go.

I would like to suggest something to add to the product line. A leave-in beard conditioner might be the just the thing to bring some control to my full beard. It would be good to have now, but once it reaches ZZ Top length, it will probably be necessary. Maybe ideally it would be something for weekly or monthly use that you leave in for one, or a few hours before showering.

I tried this with coconut oil once, leaving it in for maybe five hours before showering. It did do some good for a few days at least, but it was not an oil that I would want to use when I'm going out.

Classic scent

I have tried products that are too strong and you can almost taste it over the course of the day, but this classic scent doesn't over power the senses. It is all natural and leaves a subtle lasting aroma and is pleasing to everyone around you.
