What Are The Differences
Different Consistencies – Simply put, beard balm is a solid, slightly waxy substance, where as beard oil is a liquid. Beard balm can’t spill, and is therefore less messy than beard oil. This is especially important if you intend to take your beard oil with you on your day to day activities. Most beard oils come in glass containers which can break if you’re not careful, where as balms are packaged in unbreakable tin containers.
Different Purposes
While both will hydrate and moisturise your hair, beard balm is better for styling and hold. It also leaves your hair with slightly more of a matte finish. Beard balm is effective as a lip balm, whereas beard oil is better at alleviating an itchy beard.
Different Levels of Penetration
Because it is a liquid and can permeate your hair more easily, beard oil does a better job at moisturising the skin underneath your beard.
Different Application Methods
Beard balm is typically ‘warmed’ beforehand by rubbing your hands together which creates friction and heat, where as beard oil is applied with a dropper.
