The Coffee Whiskey Beard Balm is an occlusive styler that excels in taming flyaways and providing structural hold. The formula relies on a wax-butter matrix consisting of Beeswax and Shea Butter, which is effective for styling and conditioning the hair surface. Beeswax provides the tack necessary for medium hold, while Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil help to soothe and soften coarse facial hair. The inclusion of Coffee Seed Oil provides surface conditioning benefits.
This balm requires significant thermal emulsification due to the high wax content; warming a pea-sized amount between palms until translucent ensures an even application. To prevent the buildup that can lead to surface flaking, daily removal with a specialized cleanser is recommended to break down heavy lipids and maintain the skin underneath.
