Individuals with facial hair may use various self-care products to protect the hair and skin on their face. A cosmetic chemist can create a formula for a custom beard lotion to hydrate and nourish the skin. Here are a few frequently asked questions about custom beard lotions:
What Is Beard Lotion?
Beard lotion is a cosmetic product for men with facial hair. It is designed to target not only the beard hair but also the skin underneath. It helps encourage beard growth, soften skin and hair, and reduce dryness. Companies that market self-care products for men may benefit from creating their own custom beard goods.
How Can I Customize Beard Lotion?
A cosmetic chemist at Freelance Formulations will help you create a tailored beard lotion to address varying skin needs. Formulation chemists will adjust scents and whether or not the lotion is a light moisturizer, oil, or heavy balm. They are also able to add hydrating ingredients if you want the beard lotion to target dry skin. For sensitive skin types, chemists may choose to remove synthetic ingredients or fragrances that may cause irritation. To cater to individuals who want sun protection in their beard lotion, a cosmetic chemist can add UV-blocking ingredients. They could also make the final product vegan, cruelty-free, and organic, depending on the client’s preferences.
What Ingredients Are in Beard Lotions?
Common beard lotion ingredients include carrier oils like coconut, argan, or jojoba oil. Oils help provide hydration and protect the skin barrier. Other ingredients added to beard lotions include butters, essential oils, and emulsifiers. Shea and mango butter are moisturizing ingredients that help condition and soften beards. Essential oils provide natural fragrances such as tea tree, sandalwood, frankincense, orange, and more. Depending on the client’s preferences, formulation chemists can adjust how much essential oils are used. For a stronger scent profile, larger amounts of essential oils are used, but for mild, subtle scents, fragrance oil is reduced. Emulsifiers are necessary to make the product shelf-stable.
