BeardBalms

Beard balm, compared

See every brand's balm side by side.

A $9.99 tin and a $24 tin can hold the same two ounces, and "light hold" means something different on every label. Each brand's site shows only its own range, and stores split them across pages. BeardBalms puts 626 balms from 78 brands in one place and lines them up: pick a scent family, pick the brands you're choosing between, and compare size, price per ounce, hold and ingredients column by column.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a scent

    Woodsy, citrus, spiced, sweet, smoky, fresh, herbal or unscented - every family has one page covering every brand.

  2. 2

    Pick your brands

    Tap the two or three brands you're deciding between. Everyone else drops out of view.

  3. 3

    Read across

    One column per brand, smallest tin to largest, with the price and the price per ounce. Open any balm for its hold, ingredients and sources.

Why side by side

Balms look alike on a shelf: a tin, a wax and a scent. The differences are in the numbers a label buries: how many ounces you're really getting, what that costs per ounce, whether "light hold" is a brand's word or a measurement, and whether the ingredient list names beeswax, lanolin or tallow. Seeing the same scent family from each brand next to each other, including the sizes a range doesn't make, is the quickest way to tell them apart.

Or start from a brand

Already have a favourite? Each line has its own page with every scent and size it makes, grouped by scent family, with the brand's own ingredient list where it publishes one. Two formulas from one brand (a Classic and a Heavy Duty, say) are listed as separate lines, because they are not the same balm.

How complete is this?

The catalog is honest about its gaps rather than filling them in with guesses. Every balm page shows where its numbers came from.

  • 90% confirmed: the size and every spec read from a brand or store page (64 partly inferred, 0 with a value not yet re-checked)
  • 97% have a price recorded
  • 98% have a printed size, so a price per ounce
  • 73% publish a full ingredient list (many brands name only their main ingredients)
  • 32% state a hold level (the rest are left blank, not guessed)
