A good beard is grown, but a great one is looked after. Beard hair is coarser than the hair on your head, and the skin underneath is easy to forget, so without care a beard turns wiry, itchy and flaky. A simple routine of washing, conditioning, oiling and shaping keeps it soft, healthy and tidy, from light stubble to a short boxed beard or a full-length one.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of every brand in this collection, with more than 300 beard and moustache products. That includes Captain Fawcett, Bossman, Proraso, Stag Supply, Killer Groom, Suavecito, Clubman Pinaud, Traditional Barbers, Vines Vintage, The Bluebeards Revenge, Vitaman, Dapper Dan, Layrite and Baxter of California, plus beard combs and brushes from Kent and Pegasus.
About Our Beard Care Collection
Each product type has a clear job. Beard washes clean without stripping the natural oils that a regular shampoo removes. Beard conditioners soften coarse hair after washing. Beard oils moisturise the skin underneath and add a healthy sheen, which helps with beard itch. Balms combine oils with butters and waxes for light hold and shaping, while pomades and moustache wax give firmer control for styled edges and waxed tips.
Tools finish the job. A beard comb spreads oil and balm and keeps lines neat, and a boar bristle brush lifts and trains hair while exfoliating the skin. Line-up gels and pre-shave products help when you are tidying the cheeks and neckline.

Benefits of a Beard Care Routine
- Softer beard hair. Conditioners, oils and balms take the wiry edge off coarse hair.
- Less itch and flaking. Moisturising the skin under the beard helps with dryness and beard dandruff.
- Neater shape. Balm, pomade and wax keep strays in line and give a groomed look.
- A clean beard. Beard washes remove food, sweat and product build-up without stripping.
- Better growth phase. Many men give up during the itchy early weeks; oil makes that stage easier.
- A signature scent. From sandalwood and tobacco to fresh citrus, beard products double as a light fragrance.
Beard Care Buying Guide
Short beard or stubble. A beard oil is all you need. It softens the hair and moisturises the skin.
Medium beard. Add a balm for shape and light hold, and use a comb to spread products evenly.
Long or coarse beard. Use a beard wash and conditioner two or three times a week, then oil and balm. A boar bristle brush helps train longer hair.
Moustache styling. Moustache wax gives firm, shapeable hold for tips and handlebars. Captain Fawcett offers several strengths and scents.
Scent and sensitivity. Choose fresh scents such as Proraso Green or Azur Lime, warm scents such as sandalwood, oud or tobacco, or unscented options such as Bossman Naked if you wear cologne or have sensitive skin.
Value and gifts. Twin packs and trio bundles from Proraso and Bossman save money. See Men's Twin Packs and Men's Grooming Gift Sets.
How to Use Beard Products
Wash your beard with a beard wash two or three times a week, then apply conditioner and rinse. Towel dry gently. While the beard is slightly damp, rub three to five drops of oil between your palms and work it into the skin and through the hair. For shape, warm a small amount of balm in your hands and smooth it through, then comb or brush into place. Use moustache wax sparingly on dry hair, twisting the tips between your fingers.

Beard Care FAQs
What does beard oil do?
Beard oil moisturises the skin under your beard and softens the hair. It helps reduce itch and flaking and gives the beard a healthy sheen.
What is the difference between beard oil and beard balm?
Beard oil is a liquid that moisturises and softens. Beard balm adds butters and waxes, so it conditions and gives light hold for shaping.
Do I need both beard oil and balm?
Not always. Short beards often only need oil. Medium and long beards benefit from oil for the skin and balm for shape.
What is beard jelly?
Bossman Beard Jelly is a jelly-textured beard product that conditions and softens coarse beard hair. It is our best-selling beard product.
What is the difference between beard balm and beard butter?
Beard butter, such as Suavecito Beard Butter, is softer and creamier with little or no hold. Balm has more wax for light control.
What is beard pomade?
Beard pomade, such as Bossman Beard Pomade, gives firmer hold than balm for shaping longer beards and controlling strays.
What is moustache wax?
Moustache wax is a firm styling wax for shaping moustache hair and holding tips in place. Captain Fawcett and Suavecito both make popular versions.
How often should I wash my beard?
Two or three times a week with a beard wash suits most men. Rinse with water on other days.
Can I use regular shampoo on my beard?
It is best not to. Regular shampoo can strip the oils from beard hair and the skin underneath. A beard wash is gentler.
Do I need a beard conditioner?
If your beard is coarse, dry or longer than a few centimetres, a conditioner such as Bossman Fortify Intense makes it softer and easier to comb.
How much beard oil should I use?
Three to five drops for a short to medium beard, and a little more for a long one. Too much can feel greasy.
When should I apply beard oil?
After a shower, when the beard is clean and slightly damp, so the oil spreads easily.
Why is my beard itchy?
New growth and dry skin are the usual causes. Washing with a beard wash and applying oil daily usually helps.
How do I get rid of beard dandruff?
Wash with a beard wash, exfoliate the skin gently with a beard brush, and moisturise with beard oil every day.
Does beard oil make a beard grow faster?
No product changes how fast hair grows. Oil keeps the hair and skin in good condition, which helps the beard look fuller and healthier.
Which beard oil is best for sensitive skin?
Choose an unscented or lightly scented oil, such as Bossman Naked products, and patch test before full use.
Which beard products have no scent?
Bossman's Naked range includes unscented beard jelly, balm, conditioner and pomade.
What scents does Bossman offer?
Bossman scents include Stagecoach, Gold, Hammer Red, Magic Blue, Naked (unscented) and Royal Oud.
What is Captain Fawcett?

Which beard wash is best?
Popular choices include Killer Groom Beard Wash, Proraso Beard Shampoo, Stag Supply Activated Charcoal and Peppermint Beard Wash and Suavecito Beard Wash.
What is a beard foam cleanser?
American Crew Beard Foam Cleanser is a foaming cleanser that cleans and softens the beard quickly.
What kind of comb is best for a beard?
A smooth, saw-cut comb such as the Kent 81T is good for short beards. Longer beards suit wider-tooth combs or a folding comb such as the Kent 87T.
Should I use a beard brush or a comb?
Use both if you can. A brush spreads oil, exfoliates and trains hair. A comb detangles and shapes lines.
Why use a boar bristle beard brush?
Boar bristles grip and distribute the beard's natural oils and products, lift the hair and gently exfoliate the skin.
What is a beard straightening brush?
The Silver Bullet Slick Beard Straightening Brush is designed to straighten and smooth longer beards. Check the product page for how to use it.
How do I shape my beard neckline?
A common guide is to keep the line about two fingers above the Adam's apple. A clear gel such as Baxter of California Beard Line Up Shave Gel helps you see where you are cutting.
Can I colour my beard?
L3VEL3 Temporary Hair and Beard Colour Black 125ml gives temporary colour that washes out. For permanent colour, use a product made for beards.
Do you sell beard care for barbers?
Yes. Traditional Barbers Barbers Shave Cream 400g, Proraso products and beard trios are popular with barbershops.

How long does a bottle of beard oil last?
