Argan Oil (Argania spinosa L.) Origin; Essaouira, Morocco
This “liquid gold,” comes from the kernels of fruit produced by the Argan tree, grown in the Morocco desert. Argan oil has a large amount of the omega-6 fatty acids, oleic acid, and linoleic acid. These fatty acids are what really work to help skin and hair lock in moisture (3). The rich amount of vitamin E also helps to stimulate skin cells and the antioxidants protect against free radical damage from the sun (4).

Hemp Seed Oil (Cannabis Sativa) Origin; Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

THE ESSENTIALS
Your sense of smell is closely tied to your memories and emotions, perhaps more so than any of your other senses. This is because when you smell something, it passes through your olfactory bulb, which runs from your nose along the bottom of your brain, connecting it to your hippocampus and amygdala. These areas of the brain are responsible for your memories and feelings, which is why scent can be so powerful.
That is why we expertly blend and incorporate essential oils into our beard products. The botanical extracts not only smell great but also have a positive effect on the mind, will and emotion.
