Coconut oil is being touted as the healthiest oil in the world. People in the tropical areas have been using this oil for centuries for its hair, skin and other health benefits. The oil is easily absorbed by the skin where it stimulates hair growth and reduces dryness, itchiness and flaking.
Coconut oil also has anti bacterial and anti fungal properties which help ward off skin infections like ringworm or tinea. This is the main reason why men with beards can benefit greatly from regular use of coconut oil beard oil recipes. Not only can coconut oil combat itching and hair fall, it will also keep the facial fuzz looking smooth and sleek.
In this article, we will discuss some of the best essential oils for beard growth which can be mixed with coconut oil to condition, hydrate, soothe and nourish the beard.

| Properly storing your beard oil is important in preserving it for as long as possible. For best results, it is recommended to use an amber glass bottle with a glass dropper for extraction.

You can get 6 of these for only $2 and you’ll be really glad you got them. |
