Magic Beard Balm by Mountaineer Brand: All Natural Beard Conditioning Balm (WV Citrus & Spice)

Great product, works as described and is all natural!

I just got this today and usually i try to wait a while to write reviews, but this stuff is too good to wait. Yes I'm in a good mood right now cuz it's Friday, but this stuff is awesome. Its one of those things where as soon as you put in on you're like yep that's what I was looking for. So to back up i did some poking around trying to figure out if i should get beard balm, oil, or conditioner. I tried some cheaper leave in conditioner that really wasn't doin' it for me so after deciding dropping a little coin would be necessary I went for this. I never did end up trying oil and don't know that i will. I really didn't want my beard to feel wet and it doesn't feel that way at all with this balm, just nice and smooth. I chose this product because it's all natural and had all the right oils in it, and I love to support our hard workin' brethren one state to the south. So far results are amazing. My beard is soft and combed nicely into place and my face feels amazing. The clove really comes out in the citrus spice so take their scents seriously because they're not faint. You will definitely notice the smell. It's fall right now so this scent compliments the season well and I'm very happy with it. I was worried about ease of application vs. an oil or conditioner but it was a total non issue. I've had this in for 5 hours now and it feels like the first minute I put it in. The conditioner i tried lost effect in about 30 min. Only complaint is the tin top doesn't fit very tightly so I don't know how sealed up it is, but on the flip side it's real easy to open.

I have extremely wiry facial hair. It tamed it down quite a bit, worked in nicely, smells great.Not too odourous like some other reviews have stated. 👍🏻

Over the years and many beard products leads to knowing that their is not just one beard product for every occasion and season. I cant say that their is anything bad about this beard product. What it is- Very soft goes on as easy as a beard butter. for aesthetics I recommend applying in smaller amounts few times a day as supposed to 1 or 2 heavy uses. Medium shine. feels great on the skin, hands, elbows face etc. The smell is exactly as advertised on the back of the can, it says orange, clove, that's exactly the smell, no mystery. The smell is a bit stronger than some and I've noticed that like all brands , let the can breathe a few minutes before applying, work it into your hands, then apply, don't just glob it on your upper lip an chin. A hot water rinse refreshes your beard for the next days application easy enough. What it isn't - A balm that lasts all day it is not, It is soft as a butter, it has little hold, the smell can be stronger than you want first ,thing in the morning. The build up after 3 uses can start to look greasy. I would say that this is a better cooler weather balm, in the heat you will get out of shape faster with this stuff than with a thicker style. Personally- I love the smell, I recommend this for those that want a more natural less clean cut beard look. I believe that this will be my holiday season favorite balm this year. However, it doesn't replace any thing else that I keep in my current arsenal but I will probably go through this can before the end November even though I have 6 other cans that I also like. This is not a good business attire no fuss balm for the day unless your beard is really short.

I've tried over 10 beard balms/conditioners but never can find that makes me completely satisfied. I did only give this a 4 star but it's because I believe the scent might be too strong for some people. If I look back at my reviews of other beard balms and leave-in conditioners, I note that scent is very important since you're going to be using it right around your nose. I also have the beard wash in this brand, same scent and it's one of my favorites. I do get the "candle store" scent for it as others have mentioned but I'm guessing this blend "orange and spices" is orange, vanilla and cloves. I have a similar beard product from another beard company that is listed as orange, vanilla and cloves and smells identical to this. It's a scent I like. It does last awhile too. Maybe 4-5 hours.I turned to the Mountaineer Brand because I live just south of West Virginia in the Appalachian Mountains/Smoky Mountain area. The conditioning part is working well in this cold weather. It took about 2-3 days/uses to start feeling like my beard wasn't going to crumple up if another 15 MPH gust of wind hit it. These products are very good overall. I also have their Chaga soap/shampoo bar and would like to know if any of their balms are similar scent as the chaga. All of these products remind me of the handmade soaps we buy from March - October (warmer weather) in this area. I look forward to trying more of these products.
