Frequently Asked Questions:
Does your beard oil promote hair growth?
Our beard care products contain ingredients that promote hair
growth, strengthen and condition the beard when applied regularly esp in the
dry winter months or after washing your beard which would strip it of all its
natural oils. The bulk of our beard oils contain Jojoba oil. Jojoba is very in
properties to our skin's natural oil (sebum) and this makes it suitable for men
with acne prone or sensitive skin to use on their beards. To find out more
about our ingredients in detail; visit our Ingredients page.
Is your beard oil Halal?
Contrary
to popular belief amongst the Muslim Community, Most (if not all) Beard Oils
are Completely Halal. We have not yet come across any beard oil company that
adds Alcohol in their products as alcohol would be detrimental to your hair and
beard oils are all about strengthening, conditioning, and promoting hair
growth. And speaking of products containing alcohol, most perfumes contain
alcohol and are not considered haram or najis (impure). Alcohol in itself is
haram (forbidden) to consume but it is not considered najis therefore it is not
considered haram when applied to the body or clothes. This is the opinion of
the majority of scholars with the exception of a few. Regardless, our beard
oils and beard oils in general do not contain alcohol.
Unfortunately
there are a handful of companies who advertise their beard care products as
"halal" or "alcohol free" to capture the Muslim market and
it's a shame but we advise our customers to simply read through the ingredients
list of any beard care product from any company of their preference to see for
themselves if it contains any haram ingredient.
While
on the subject of "halal" - the issue arises when using beard
brushes. Majority of beard brushes out there are made from "boar
bristles". This is definitely haram according to our scholars and should
be avoided. Swine/boar products are considered impure (najis) and should be
avoided at all costs and the entire concept of having a beard for a Muslim is
to follow the Sunnah (path) of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and without sounding
extreme here; wouldn't using a najis(impure) product on your beard be insulting
to the sunnah instead of honoring it?
Where are your beard care products made?
Our beard oils and balms are all handcrafted in our Toronto
Facility in Ontario, Canada.
