Beard Oil, Beard Balm and Shaving Oil from Störtebekker - All about our new long-lasting Care Products

At the end of last year, after an intensive development period, we released three of our own care products: Beard Oil, Beard Balm, and Shaving Oil. The feedback we have received from you so far has been overwhelmingly positive. For this, we would like to thank you sincerely!

To meet the high interest in them, we would like to introduce again in this post what makes our Störtebekker Beard Oil, Störtebekker Balm, and Störtebekker Shaving Oil so special. Because in the development, we chose what we consider to be the absolute top ingredients. Therefore, whether you shave regularly or have a beard - you will find the perfect addition for your shave among our beard products!

The Ingredients of Störtebekker Care Products

Almond Oil

Almond oil is one of the carrier substances of all three products. It is extracted from sweet almonds and is particularly suitable for sensitive skin. It has a cooling and pain-relieving effect and provides excellent moisture to skin and hair. Therefore, it is also effective against itching and prevents split ends. The vitamins and minerals contained in almond oil - especially biotin - promote hair growth and skin cell renewal. Additionally, almond oil ensures that beard hair becomes pleasantly soft and gains a healthy shine.

 

Castor Oil

Castor oil is also a carrier substance of the new Störtebekker care products. It is relatively thick but still penetrates deep into the skin and has excellent nourishing properties. With the vitamin E it contains, it makes beard hair stronger and more supple. Furthermore, it stimulates the production of "collagen," which is said to slow down the skin aging process - a by-the-way cosmetic for your skin! And like all good vitamin and nutrient providers, it also has a positive effect on beard growth.

 

Argan Oil

Argan oil completes the carrier substance trio of our care ensemble. It is extracted from argan nuts and is often used in specialty shampoos and treatments against split ends and brittle hair. It promotes blood circulation to the facial skin, thus contributing to the stimulation of beard growth. Argan oil also contains a lot of vitamin E and is an optimal moisturizer, helping to soothe dry and itchy skin. It is one of the highest quality and therefore most expensive carrier oils.

 

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is included in both our beard oil and shaving oil. This substance, which may not yet be known to some of you, has the extremely useful property of not being too greasy. Strictly speaking, jojoba oil is not an oil but a liquid wax that brings numerous positive care properties: It works primarily at the hair root, strengthening dry hair from within and making it more resilient. It is even said to have a positive effect on hair loss. Additionally, jojoba oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

 

Squalane

The oil "squalane," which is currently experiencing a real hype, also features in our beard oil and shaving oil. It is an odorless oil originally derived from sharks. However, it can also be extracted from plants and is then called phytosqualane - we use this to keep the product vegan. Squalane provides a natural protective film for the skin and also improves the distribution of an oil mixture.

 

Shea Butter

Shea butter is an essential component of our beard balm, providing a particularly smoothing and moisturizing effect. Thanks to its antioxidant properties, it prevents the signs of early skin aging and contributes to cell regeneration. It also gives the beard balm a creamier consistency than beard oil.

 

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is an absolute all-rounder that should not be missing from our products. Used in our shaving oil, it is responsible for soothing razor burn and small wounds that occur during shaving, thus preventing unsightly redness, inflammation, and pain.

 

How Are Störtebekker Care Products Used?

Beard Oil

Beard oil provides a healthy, shiny look to your beard and better hold for the beard hairs in terms of styling. It can be ideally distributed in the beard with the beard comb or the beard brush. You also create the perfect final look of your beard with it.

Make sure to massage the beard oil really deep into your beard down to the skin - only then can it fully unfold its effect. Remember not to use too much beard oil, as this will make the beard look too greasy. Depending on how full your beard is, a few drops are sufficient.

Beard Balm

Beard balm gives the beard a denser, fuller structure and holds it more firmly in shape than oil. Beard balm is thus the ideal blend of beard oil and pure styling products like beard wax or beard pomade: it provides hold without making the beard sticky. Beard balm is perfect especially for slightly more unruly beard hairs and for men with not-so-dense beard growth.

The application is as simple as that of beard oil. The thumb tip is ideal for taking a manageable amount of balm. Distribute it evenly in your hands first; then you can ideally massage it into your beard. Mainly by smoothing it from top to bottom with your hands, you bring it into its final form.

 

Shaving Oil

Shaving oil is a great alternative to shaving foam. Due to its very liquid consistency, it allows the razor to glide over the skin with particular smoothness, greatly reducing skin irritations. Should any still occur or small cuts happen - depending on the skin's sensitivity, this is not entirely avoidable - the natural substances contained in the shaving oil can immediately take effect with their soothing and antibacterial properties.

Additionally, shaving oil has the great advantage of being transparent. Therefore, the areas to be shaved remain visible. Especially when trimming contours, which beard wearers also have to do, it is easier to keep the contour line exact and thus prevent unwanted irregularities in the beard.

 

The Packaging - We Care About the Environment

Of course, it should not be missing that we also place great value on the quality of our packaging - especially with regard to our environment. Therefore, beard oil and shaving oil are contained in recycled glass, which can naturally be returned to the recycling loop after disposal. Especially with shaving oil, this creates a significant ecological advantage over the alternative shaving foam, which is always contained in extremely environmentally unfriendly pressure bottles.

 

For our beard balm, we have come up with something special: it consists of "Sulapac" - a completely biodegradable material - allowing us to completely avoid plastic and thus make a significant contribution to sustainability - and you as customers can do so as well!

Our Fragrance Profiles - Crusoe and Fresh Mint

Finally, a pleasant scent must not be missing from beard oil, beard balm, and shaving oil. For beard oil and beard balm, we have created our scent "Crusoe". You probably wondered why we chose the island as the cover image. Inspired by the castaway adventurer Robinson Crusoe, the scent is meant to express the Störtebekker philosophy of freedom and self-determination. The ingredients sandalwood and "amber" provide a woody-tart and sweet note for a distinctive masculine scent, with which you exude confidence. This is completed by pleasant fruity citrus notes and sweet vanilla, adding a touch of youthful dynamism.

We have given our Störtebekker shaving oil the scent "Fresh Mint". Consisting of various mint varieties, it ensures that the skin-soothing and antibacterial effect of the shaving oil is underlined with the perfectly matching fresh aroma.   

We have also incorporated great scents in our shaving soaps. Take a look at them. Here you can buy shaving soaps. Matching them, you can take a closer look at our range of safety razors - maybe this will find its way into your cart as well.
