Beard Oil vs. Beard Balm – What’s Right for You?
Not sure if you need beard oil or balm? Here’s the straight truth on when to use each and why your beard will thank you.
What Beard Oil Does
Warlord Beard Oil is lightweight and fast-absorbing. It hydrates your beard and the skin underneath—crushing dryness, itch, and beardruff.
Perfect for everyday conditioning without the weight.
- Softens your beard without grease
- Hydrates skin to prevent itch and flakes
- Boosts scent with powerful, masculine aromas
- Built for short to mid-length beards (but long beards love it too)
What Beard Balm Does
Warlord Beard Balm is a balm-butter hybrid—packed with the same oils as our beard oil, plus beeswax and rich butters for extra control and conditioning.
- Deeply hydrates and conditions
- Light hold to shape and tame your beard
- Tames flyaways without making it stiff
- Ideal for longer beards or guys needing control
Basically, it does everything beard oil does—plus gives you control.
Beard Butter? We Got That Covered
Our Beard Balm is a butter. You're getting the richness of a butter and the styling control of a balm—all in one tin. No need to buy two separate products or overthink it.
So Which One Do You Need? 🔥
- Go with Beard Oil if you want hydration, scent, and softness with no styling.
- Go with Beard Balm if you want that plus some control and hold.
- Some guys with short beards dig balm. Some with long beards swear by oil.
There’s no one-size-fits-all—just what fits you best.

So… Which One Do You Actually Need?
Here’s the truth:
Most guys only need one.
If your beard’s short to mid-length and feels itchy, dry, or rough—
Go with Beard Oil.
It hydrates the skin underneath, softens the hair, and keeps things healthy. No grease. No filler. Just solid results.
If your beard’s got some serious length or volume—
Beard Balm might be your weapon.
It adds conditioning plus a little control. Great for shaping, taming flyaways, or protecting your beard from harsh weather.
But unless your beard is long and dry as hell, you don’t need both. Pick the right one, use it daily, and let it do the work.
