This styling paste represents a sophisticated shift from heavy wax-based balms to a water-based emulsion. It is designed for a natural finish without the heavy occlusion associated with traditional products. It is effective for taming flyaways while maintaining hair mobility. The formula utilizes a Kaolin Clay base to provide structure and a matte finish, counteracting the natural shine of facial oils. This is suspended in a water-and-wax emulsion which allows the product to remain re-stylable throughout the day. Lanolin Wax and PVP provide hold, ensuring the beard maintains its shape without feeling stiff.
As a water-based paste, it is highly water-soluble and washes out easily with standard cleansers, preventing follicle buildup. To avoid uneven distribution, application to a slightly damp or towel-dried beard is recommended. Because clay-based formulas can be drying to the hair surface, layering this over a conditioning oil can help maintain the skin barrier.
