Keep your beard softer, more comfortable and easier to manage with APOTHECARY 87 Beard Balm.
Unlike a traditional heavy wax-based balm, this is a lightweight, water-based conditioning cream designed to absorb quickly into both facial hair and the skin underneath.
Plant Keratin, Panthenol and Vitamin E help moisturise, soften and strengthen the beard while supporting dry or irritated skin beneath it. The nutrient-rich formula also helps improve the condition of the hair, reducing the appearance of dryness and split ends without leaving the beard feeling excessively greasy or weighed down.
Finished with APOTHECARY 87’s signature Sandalwood & Vanilla fragrance, it brings together sweet vanilla and warm woody notes for a classic barbershop-inspired finish.
A practical everyday option for anyone looking for the conditioning benefits of a beard oil in a lighter, cream-based format.
Fragrance Profile
Fragrance: Sandalwood & Vanilla
A balance of sweet vanilla and warm, spicy sandalwood, inspired by the character of a traditional barbershop.
Originally known as the brand’s 1893 fragrance, the scent references the year Apothecary 87 associates with the opening of the first dedicated barber school.
The overall character is warm, woody, softly sweet and relaxed.
How to Use
Dispense approximately a pea-sized amount into your hand.
Rub the balm between your fingers and palms before working it through a damp beard.
Massage thoroughly into the beard, roots and skin underneath.
Use a beard comb or brush afterwards if required to distribute the product evenly and shape the beard.
Avoid applying too much product at once; APOTHECARY 87 recommends starting with a small amount and adding more if needed.
Important Notes / Warnings
This Beard Balm is a water-based cream, rather than the firmer wax-heavy formula traditionally associated with beard balms. It is primarily designed to moisturise and condition rather than provide a strong styling hold.
APOTHECARY 87 states that its products are cruelty free, tested on humans rather than animals, and made in the UK.
The manufacturer estimates its beard products typically last around 1–3 months with moderate use, although this varies depending on beard length and frequency of application.
For external use only.
Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
