The oil that started it all.
APOTHECARY 87 Original Recipe Beard Oil was the brand’s first product and remains one of its signature grooming essentials, created to help keep facial hair softer, healthier-looking and easier to manage.
The plant-based formula uses grapeseed and jojoba oils to moisturise and condition both the beard and the skin underneath, helping combat dryness and the irritation that often comes with beard growth.
Its distinctive Original Recipe fragrance combines sandalwood, frankincense, patchouli, musk and rose geranium for a fresh yet woody scent that feels rooted in classic men’s grooming without becoming overly traditional.
Lightweight and easy to work through the beard, it is a straightforward everyday essential for maintaining a softer, more comfortable and well-kept finish.
Fragrance Profile
Fragrance: Original Recipe
Key Notes: Sandalwood, Frankincense, Patchouli, Musk & Rose Geranium
Created as a modern interpretation of classic men’s fragrances, the scent balances fresh, woody, earthy and lightly floral notes.
Sandalwood and patchouli provide depth, frankincense adds a warm resinous character, while rose geranium gives the fragrance a fresher, more aromatic lift.
How to Use
Add a few drops to the palm of your hand.
Rub the oil between your fingers and palms to distribute it evenly.
Apply to a damp beard, working through the facial hair and massaging into the roots and skin underneath.
Use a beard comb or brush afterwards if required to distribute the oil and shape the beard.
Avoid applying too much, as excessive oil can leave the beard feeling greasy.
