Shaving and beard oils : Avacodo oil, olive oil, vit E oil, plus one of the following extracts like cinnamon, peppermint, vanilla extract. Basically what we already have in the kitchen cooking cabinet.
Thanks Jason! Yeah it can be a bit overwhelming - hopefully this guide helps you along the way. If you find that something isn't clear or you need help, just reply to the message on here and I will try to get back to ya!
Put the bottles in the water before it reaches boiling point so that the glass heats gradually/slowly to prevent it from breaking. When you turn off the heat, leave the bottles in the water for it to cool down before exposing it to air. Sudden shifts in temperature can cause the glass to break so you have take time.
You never want to hit the bottles together like that. If you wait for a second the drops come out easily and where you can easily count them. Nice video.
Thanks for the feedback Dave! Always trying to find the right balance between too little and too much info. I suppose I could have chopped up the video to say 'Learn more about carrier oils watch this' and 'Learn more about essential oils watch this'. Will keep in mind for future videos!
Very interesting. I've been also making my own beard oil, but I feel overwhelmed when trying for a scent that really makes my day... I don't have the patience, so the database is going to be a great resource for me :-)
Do you have recipes to mimic known beard oil brands? I love Beardbrand's Tea Tree Silver Oil but I live in Mexico and it is too expensive to import here... Thanks for sharing...
Now that I'm a few months into growing the beard I realize how much I'm spending on beard oil...I'm all for saving $$$ by making my own. Thanks for sharing.
I use cooking or banking oils and extracts. Avacodo oil, olive oil,coconut oil, vit E oil, extraxts like cinnamon, vanilla , peppermint or other extract you would have in the cooking cabinet
I've found that there's really not much in it when comparing more expensive beard oils with cheaper beard oils. To a large extent beard oils are beard oils are beard oils. If you get my drift. Tip: Avoid the big name manufacturers! and go with 'funky' independent ones who strive to not put crap in and charge you the earth for it. Oh, and avoid any which contain Palm oil.....even if it says 'from sustainable sources' .....at the end of the day it's STILL Palm oil, and therefore should be avoided on principle. Try to also avoid ones that contain 'paraffinatum' (paraffin). Why does beard oil need to have paraffin in it??!!? This one is more about putting healthy stuff on your beard, rather than principle. Yea, I've started paying much more attention to the 'ingredients' of beard oils, face washes, moisturisers etc. It's something I wouldn't have given a second thought to a few years ago, but now I do. Why? ...because it matters. Well it does to me anyway.
They are extremely similar. Usually a pre shave oil will use castor oil as its primary carrier oil. In addition pre shave oils tend to have a slightly lighter scent.
So if I only want to do one sent like the lavender, what ratio would I use? Should I be filling up the bottle to the brim with the carrier oil, then add the few drops of Lavender after figuring out how potent I want the sent to be?
What if you use plain cooking oil? Sunflower, olive or grape seed would do the trick if you're not interested in scent but rather in keeping your beard hair healthy?
You say 10-15 drops is that like per ounce or per full bottle? Also if I'm using more than one oil like a base and a middle note should I use 7 drops or each or still do 15 drops of each?
How would i use multiple carrier oils like the big name companies do? Do they do them half and half or thirds when they use 3 or do they mix it in other combinations?
Tools of Men ok one more question and this may sound like a stupid one. Lets say i start with a half ounce for testing and i like the way it smells. If I used 10 drops of essential oil would i then need to double that to 20 drops when i double the carrier oil to 1oz to have the same smell?
Yeah you can definitely find some great recipes across the web as well - but don't forget to add it to the database (linked in the description above) for other beardsmen to try out too!
"Full AND Complete Guide?" Nah, I wouldn't really call it that. I'd say it's more like me listening to a bunch of pricing history, the nuances of "carrier oils" and then me just walking you to the store to watch you shop for the aforementioned carrier oils and other stuff (and some more of you talking)..... Yeah, it's just me listening to a lot of useless information until you get to some actual useful information. Seriously, this video could have been a minute and a half long if you cut out all the stuff that I (and probably most others) really didn't need to see or hear. But hey, if people want to see you go shopping and giving historical lessons on beards, beard oil prices and other stuff, then sure, go ahead, my man. I'm going to go check out a 3 minute video that I am pretty certain will spare me the trip to the supermarket, or co-op, or whatever that store was. Later!
OK, so me not putting up a video somehow negates all I said? Sweet comeback, dude! Look man, you might want to try and also look at my comment as a kind of positive critique, rather than a slap in teh face. I really wasn't trying to insult you. Seriously, I am sure I am not the only person who felt this went on at least 10 minutes longer than it should have gone. As much as we, yes, even me, appreciate the DIY videos, none of us still want to sit down and watch something longer than necessary. Just saying. Have a nice day, my friend. :)
Mondo 357 and you know what? There were people who enjoyed it, you're not special. His comeback was rather sensible, if you find his diy tutorial to be lacking, whelp, make your own. It was informative and helpful for me, length is inconsequential to me if I've obtained the information I desired. Maybe you shouldn't watch videos before having to do something important? Maybe you should watch videos before bed so time isn't relevant? He certainly shouldn't mold his videos to your criteria or standard, because there might be millions who enjoy lengthy videos. You're not the king, you do not pay him, if you click on it and its too long, you could always just leave and watch another video? Why are you so special? This isn't a restaurant or store, you're not the customer, you do not always come first. He takes the time out of his day to film this, buy the products, do research, edit the video, etc. etc. And you have the nerve to crawl inside of his ass because its slightly longer than what you personally find acceptable? A bit of a princess aren't we?
Tools of Men btw, 852-56, I think the facts trump his feelings. Its also quite comical that he expects a "full length guide and tutorial" to be anything else except lengthy "give me an in depth explanation and tutorial, but make sure its under a specfic time limit"
Hello my Bearded Brother. I heard you say Rosemary Essential Oil. Rosemary can strip the color out of a color treated beard. You have to keep that in mind when using Rosemary. I use Rosemary to lighten the color of my beard if the color I used to dye it turned out a little to dark. I add the Rosemary to my conditioner and let it sit for about 15min. and rinse. I do this every day and with in about 3 days I have lighten my colored beard to the color I originally wanted.
You had me at sterilize and desinfect. Many videos overlook that important part. With a 4+ week shelf life you don't want any bacteria in your oils. That's an automatic subscribe :)
don't do it like this guy...he too many essential oil drops.. in my mix a few days ago , i only added 5-6 six drops of cedar and it already smelled way too intese .after this i did a lot of research. for 1 ounce carrier oil, you should add no more that a total of 8-10 drops , that would be 2 drops base notes , 5 dropsmiddle notes , 3 drops top notes. also take care when using citrus oils they are sensitive to sun and cause exposure , you can only safe use steam distilled ones
If online retailers like Amazon aren't available, do you have any specialty markets or boutique grocery stores? I find that they sometimes may have carrier or essential oils in stock.
I have made my own mustache wax. I didn't use any essential oils because they were not pleasant from the bottle. I think I'm going to make some oil this weekend. Thanks for the vid and beard on!
I've been making my own for a while now, and it's pretty easy and saves a lot of money. Great tips in the video, I might try some new things suggested.
Yeah definitely, I've tried one or two of them already, but had some trouble working with coconut oil in the winter, as you might imagine. I could actually feel it solidifying in my beard when I walked outside, so I switched to a sweet almond oil carrier. Right now I'm using a balm from Grave Before Shave that my friend picked up for me as a gift, so I might try my hand at making one of the balm recipes.
This is a wonderful tutorial! I am a master aromatherapist and am frequently disappointed with tutorials I find on youtube. You have included simple instructions and paid excellent attention to mixing instructions. Thank you so much!
I know this video is a few years old, but I wanted to point something out I did not see you mention in this video or in your links above. The essential oils you choose to put in the carrier must be SKIN SAFE!!!! There are many other essential oils out there that smell the same, however are used for diffusers and aromatherapy and not designed for contact with human skin. The can be very irrating, can cause rashes and can eve burn upon contact. Some are worse when exposed to sun light. Please ensure that the essential oils you use are skin safe oils.
hello great video , i am looking to mix the carrier oils - Argan, olive and jojoba oils (mixed with some essential oils for scent) can you please recommend what percent of those 3 carrier oils will I need to use please.. thanks love from London
Trying this soon. I got a four 50ml amber bottles with glass pipettes and a funnel for about ten pound off amazon. Should make it easier to get the oil into the bottles
you don't slam the bottle to get the oil out @ 11:29. Just hold it upside down between your thumb and middle finger, and use your index finger to tap the bottom of the bottle and the oil will come out in drops
serious question. I only grow peach fuzz on my cheeks and sideburns. My father has a really nice thick beard and has had one since he was like 18. I'm hoping my lack of beard is due to dry skin (I take some pretty hot showers). Will applying beard oil help my skin to grow out a beard if one is possible? If so how often should I apply it? Please respond.... I really want to be able to grow a manly beard like my father.
+WreckingBall hey there - beard oil won't make a difference regarding growth. The ingredients are conditioning agents like your typical lotion. There are some men that apply minoxidil - but results vary. Hope the info helps!
5 років тому
You can use little measuring cups / spoons. And they make small funnels too.
I used to shake my essential oil bottles also. However, If you hold the essential oil bottle with the restricter valve upside down and wait for a bit, individual drops will dispense and you don't absolutely need a pipette. If you need more than x amount of drops--like a tsp--you can pop the restrictor valve off.
Been making my own beard oil for a few months now. My favorite things about is the ability to create my own scent and the money I'm saving. The beard oil recipes have been greatly helpful too!
Yeah especially when compared to some of the big names out there - you just simply can't beat the value. What's your favorite overall scent profile you like to stick with?
Great video. Definitely look online at places like Amazon or other discount retailers for essential oils at discounted prices. You want to make sure you get one that is pure oil with no fillers. You may have to read the labels because they can look like the real thing when they aren't. Places like TJ Maxx (in Columbus Circle, if in NYC) has all kinds of essential oils. Again, make sure to read the ingredients to see that you are getting the real thing.
Thanks a lot I've been looking for something that's gonna smell nice and some of the brands I looked at were upwards for 45 bucks for an oz. I can't wait to try this out.
Great information. Suggestion: I give my almost great mixes to my son/son-in-law. And try again. Request: Information for silver beards (I'm 71) that get really wild hairs and hair that breaks easily,
Hi Bob - I have been meaning to respond to you on the Facebook question as well - greatly apologize on the delay! I have a little bit of grey underneath my jaw on both left and right sides - but haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary when applying beard oil. For wild hairs I would recommend perhaps a balm since it contains a bit of beeswax in the solution. Regarding breaking, I am not 100% sure to recommend - perhaps a solution with Vitamin E may be able to help provide some strengthening to your beard follicles.

Nice to see another viewpoint. I'm on my 4th bottle of DIY beard oil and not regretting it at all.
Shaving and beard oils : Avacodo oil, olive oil, vit E oil, plus one of the following extracts like cinnamon, peppermint, vanilla extract. Basically what we already have in the kitchen cooking cabinet.
Great info! I've been looking into making my own beard oil, but with all the information on the web, it's daunting!
Thanks Jason! Yeah it can be a bit overwhelming - hopefully this guide helps you along the way. If you find that something isn't clear or you need help, just reply to the message on here and I will try to get back to ya!
Thanks for the info. I will start to make my own oil

So much more info than needed. Carrier oil, essential oil. BAM.
Thanks for the feedback Dave!
Always trying to find the right balance between too little and too much info. I suppose I could have chopped up the video to say 'Learn more about carrier oils watch this' and 'Learn more about essential oils watch this'.
Will keep in mind for future videos!
Thanks for making this video, appreciate the info and effort!
Next on my list of things to do. Thanks for the handy guides.
No problem! Thanks for checking out the video :-)
Thanks for the great info. I will now attempt to make my own.
What is a good sensitive skin blend? I get below beard pimples
Very interesting. I've been also making my own beard oil, but I feel overwhelmed when trying for a scent that really makes my day... I don't have the patience, so the database is going to be a great resource for me :-)
Glad it can help cut down on production time and serves as a great starting point :-) Thank you for checking it out!
This guy sounds like the hippy teacher from Beavis and butthead
Do you have recipes to mimic known beard oil brands? I love Beardbrand's Tea Tree Silver Oil but I live in Mexico and it is too expensive to import here... Thanks for sharing...
You check out the beard oil database? We got some good stuff cooking up in there: beard.toolsofmen.com. Let me know what you think.
Yo aquí en México conseguí el aceite de tea tree
Nice job. Very helpful
Great video do you have any recipes for wax
Good and informative thanks!
How can i make it more shiny allmost like Michael Jackson hair was ?
Most excellent. Thank you!
It looks like your in NYC can you please tell me what store that was in video please
Now that I'm a few months into growing the beard I realize how much I'm spending on beard oil...I'm all for saving $$$ by making my own. Thanks for sharing.
I use cooking or banking oils and extracts. Avacodo oil, olive oil,coconut oil, vit E oil, extraxts like cinnamon, vanilla , peppermint or other extract you would have in the cooking cabinet
Thanks Champ! great vid!
Awesome video
why didn't you put the bottle in the oven on a really low heat to dry it properly?
I've found that there's really not much in it when comparing more expensive beard oils with cheaper beard oils. To a large extent beard oils are beard oils are beard oils. If you get my drift.
Tip: Avoid the big name manufacturers! and go with 'funky' independent ones who strive to not put crap in and charge you the earth for it. Oh, and avoid any which contain Palm oil.....even if it says 'from sustainable sources' .....at the end of the day it's STILL Palm oil, and therefore should be avoided on principle.

Thank you very helpfull
is beard oil generally different from pre-shave oil? The recipes seem very similar, but is there a difference or ingredient that makes them different?
They are extremely similar. Usually a pre shave oil will use castor oil as its primary carrier oil. In addition pre shave oils tend to have a slightly lighter scent.
Should I resanitize Everytime I refill?
So if I only want to do one sent like the lavender, what ratio would I use? Should I be filling up the bottle to the brim with the carrier oil, then add the few drops of Lavender after figuring out how potent I want the sent to be?
Essential oils should be around 3%-5% of the total beard oil batch. Example: 18-30 drops of essential oil(s) per 1.0 fl oz of carrier oil(s).
What if you use plain cooking oil? Sunflower, olive or grape seed would do the trick if you're not interested in scent but rather in keeping your beard hair healthy?
Typically that hasn't been refined and will leave your beard looking greasy. Never recommend going that route.
10q
Can you make a video of where to shave
your neckline?
Look for one next week!
What's the ideal ratio of carrier oil to essential oil?
Not the one he's using for sure. A lot less essential oil. I hope you did more research and figured that out.
What store is that?
You say 10-15 drops is that like per ounce or per full bottle? Also if I'm using more than one oil like a base and a middle note should I use 7 drops or each or still do 15 drops of each?
I hope you did research and you're not using that much. He's using tooooo much and it's dangerous.
How would i use multiple carrier oils like the big name companies do? Do they do them half and half or thirds when they use 3 or do they mix it in other combinations?
+dunbar1471 largely comes down to preference and cost - would recommend testing a few small batches until you find one that you like.
Tools of Men ok one more question and this may sound like a stupid one. Lets say i start with a half ounce for testing and i like the way it smells. If I used 10 drops of essential oil would i then need to double that to 20 drops when i double the carrier oil to 1oz to have the same smell?
So you only mix jojoba oil and essential and that's it ?
Pretty much (carrier + essential oils) - check out beard.toolsofmen.com for more comprehensive recipes.
is essential oil is necessary or we can just use jojoba oil..? please reply asap
Yep you can just use a carrier oil such as jojoba. Essential oils may provide additional benefits - but carrier oils do all the heavy lifting.
Tools of Men thanks 👍
No problem!
Half the video is thus guy Jenkins off a cat
been doing my own beard oil and balms for a year now. way cheaper than buying it and there are plenty of sites that give clone recipes
Yeah you can definitely find some great recipes across the web as well - but don't forget to add it to the database (linked in the description above) for other beardsmen to try out too!
Name some of the sites will ya my friend
Did you say that you went to a health store
The health section of a natural store. The store I was at was Fairway (NYC area) - its very similar to a Whole Foods or Fresh Market.
hi....
can I use coconut oil as a carrier oil..? or Virgin coconut oil
Kevin Williston thank you ....
am from India .... , there are many medicinal plants for hair growth, can use them too ....?
Jojoba ijs better then coconut oil. www.beardprofile.com
Jojoba is better as is almond. If you live in a cooler climate then it will suck using coconut since it is usually solid at room temp
What are the best oils to promote beard growth? Thanks in advance
Castor oil helps thicken but is thick. Try coconut oil too. You can use rosemary and peppermint to stimulate growth
plz enter me in beard oil giveaway truely needed!thank u

What colours do you do?
Thank you for the information.
4 oz. Jojoba and about 10-15 drops eucalyptus essential oil. Smells great, refreshing, antifungal, soothes any possible irritated skin, lasts forever.
Better ratio than his. He's using waaay too much essential oil. Dangerous.
You're well spoken and your video is informative. Thank you!
You had me at sterilize and desinfect. Many videos overlook that important part. With a 4+ week shelf life you don't want any bacteria in your oils. That's an automatic subscribe :)
Use pipe straw instead of dropper if you broke like me
What happened to the database? It's offline!
I make my own bread oil I use avocado oil as my bass and then I use coconut oil and vitamin E oil with peppermint sent to have a fresh feeling

Probably the best compendium of beard oil primer info I have stumbled upon.
Others should also check out your websites. Good Stuff.
Enjoy your vids.
+OV Jim thank you 😊
Great video, thanks for the very useful info 👍🏻👍🏻
don't do it like this guy...he too many essential oil drops.. in my mix a few days ago , i only added 5-6 six drops of cedar and it already smelled way too intese .after this i did a lot of research. for 1 ounce carrier oil, you should add no more that a total of 8-10 drops , that would be 2 drops base notes , 5 dropsmiddle notes , 3 drops top notes. also take care when using citrus oils they are sensitive to sun and cause exposure , you can only safe use steam distilled ones
Making beard oil yourself is great for your budget and for picking smells but a lot of those ingridients are not available in my country...
If online retailers like Amazon aren't available, do you have any specialty markets or boutique grocery stores? I find that they sometimes may have carrier or essential oils in stock.
There aren't any pure oils,most are premade mixes
Try Ebay, that's where I get my oils from.
+FILIP98R try Etsy . That's where I get mine.
11:36 this man have no idea what he is doing.
I have made my own mustache wax. I didn't use any essential oils because they were not pleasant from the bottle. I think I'm going to make some oil this weekend. Thanks for the vid and beard on!
Can you also use a deep dark green bottle as well? or do only amber and dark blue colors keep UV rays out?
What grocery store did you buy the oil? Wholefood?
i use fractionated coconut oil as a carrier, eucalyptus, peppermint, and cedar oil as my essential oils for mine. all doTerra product.
That definitely works! doTerra can get a bit pricey though...
I've tried a few mixes with dotara
Way too much essential oil. Harmful.
I really like the jojoba oil and cedar wood essential oil mix. I've also tried Citrus Forest. Thanks for the recipe :)
I've been making my own for a while now, and it's pretty easy and saves a lot of money. Great tips in the video, I might try some new things suggested.
Yeah you sure can't beat the savings :-) Did you check out the recipe database?
Yeah definitely, I've tried one or two of them already, but had some trouble working with coconut oil in the winter, as you might imagine. I could actually feel it solidifying in my beard when I walked outside, so I switched to a sweet almond oil carrier. Right now I'm using a balm from Grave Before Shave that my friend picked up for me as a gift, so I might try my hand at making one of the balm recipes.
@@mgamnfan30 You have "fractionated coconut oil" which remain liquid at low temperatures.
I cant see the recipes to click on....

Wow master you say that's impress
Dude this video is amazingly helpful.
That's it? Why do people buy "Beard Oil" when they can just mix up their own? Thanks for the explanation.
I know this video is a few years old, but I wanted to point something out I did not see you mention in this video or in your links above.

Great video ! Do you have a recipe that use Castor vegetable oil (ricin oil) ?
Thanks ;)
Been making my own beard oil for a few months now. My favorite things about is the ability to create my own scent and the money I'm saving. The beard oil recipes have been greatly helpful too!
Yeah especially when compared to some of the big names out there - you just simply can't beat the value. What's your favorite overall scent profile you like to stick with?
Right now it's bergamot, black pepper, and patchouli
Great video. Definitely look online at places like Amazon or other discount retailers for essential oils at discounted prices.

I want to start making beard oil for sale, is it advisable to mix all the oils together before bottling?
Do you have video where you include the middle note and top note to the mixture?
Came here from your site purely to tell you I admire your time and extensive work for the topic +sub
It’s not pronounced that way in the islands
Thanks a lot I've been looking for something that's gonna smell nice and some of the brands I looked at were upwards for 45 bucks for an oz. I can't wait to try this out.
I have a dark blue bottle it works wonders
I really like your video. It is a perfect summerize for newbees.
... and of course it is an entry for beard oil giveaway! 8)
is there like a chart for the drops and percentages that'd help greatly if there's a such a thing ,
hemp oil okay
This video is very use full for me thanku for shearing this video.

Hi Bob - I have been meaning to respond to you on the Facebook question as well - greatly apologize on the delay! I have a little bit of grey underneath my jaw on both left and right sides - but haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary when applying beard oil. For wild hairs I would recommend perhaps a balm since it contains a bit of beeswax in the solution. Regarding breaking, I am not 100% sure to recommend - perhaps a solution with Vitamin E may be able to help provide some strengthening to your beard follicles.
Is Piping Rock a good store/brand?
no need to tap the essential oil bottle. It'll drop after a few seconds continuously
Does anyone has got any effect in your beard.....???
Thank You for your tips. I've almost a yeard, & am addicted to expensive beard oils. Would be awesome to save money, & play w/making different scents.
