Fantastic Product With The Essentials in Beard Oils

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2015

As someone who truly enjoys both beards and grooming (I'm always trying different grooming products), I can say that this is a high quality product, and very much so worth every dollar. If you're growing a beard, it's very important to keep it healthy. One of those things you can do is use a high quality beard oil. There are tons of beard oils on the market, especially as of recently with the growing trend. This can make it difficult in choosing an oil to start with (I have a couple different ones myself for different occasions). This oil blend is a wonderful place to start as it's a blend of two of the best oils you can use for your hair, and doesn't have anything else in it.

This item has no added fragrance to it other than the natural smell of the oils. This oil blend has a slightly sweet, light smell to it. It is not overwhelming and after a few minutes you won't notice it at all. If you're looking for a product that is one of the best currently available, this is it. It will help keep your hair soft and manageable. I am someone with an extremely curly, coarse beard that feels like steel wool if I don't care for it properly, and this product helps keep it soft. Start with this if you're new to beard oils.

**For best results (my personal opinion)**

1. Take a shower. Once or twice a week, condition your beard in the shower with coconut oil (if you search "coconut oil" in all departments on Amazon, the top product is what I use). Also, buy a dedicated beard soap that you use once a week only (no need to use it more, a thorough wash with warm water will keep your beard clean and the soap will remove some of the oils that keep the beard healthy). I use one sold by Brooklyn Grooming, although a little pricier it lasts forever especially since you're only using it once a week (lather just a tiny amount in hands and then apply to beard, never lather your beard with the soap bar itself).
2. After shower, towel dry your hair and beard. First, use two drops of this beard oil and apply to your hair (yes, on top of your head) and massage in thoroughly. Beard oil also helps keep your head hair healthy and conditioned, I promise it'll be softer than ever before. After that, use ~3 drops of oil and apply to your beard. Massage in thoroughly, starting at the front and working your way down, and then running your fingers up from behind. After you've applied the oil, it is VERY HELPFUL if you use a natural boar's hair brush. I promise you it will make a difference. First, brush your head hair, and then thoroughly brush your beard. A boar's hair brush will build up oils over time from your hair and beard, and help spread the oils evenly across your hair and beard. It also helps keep your hair clean, so in between use of the beard soap it's not anything to worry about.
3. Do your best not to touch your beard too often throughout the day. Feel free to use a touch up brushing or combing if needed. Enjoy!

Leven Rose Beard Oil. It is oily. Did very little for my beard. Company was very nice to work with though.

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2015

Have to admit, after reading all the favorable reviews of this, I cannot understand how everyone seems to love this Leven Rose Beard Oil. I have given it 5 months to work. I have used more water, less water, more drops in my beard and it doesn't seem to do much of anything. My beard still feels very course and it is no more manageable than if I don't use it. Still have lots of 'wild hairs' that are all over the place after using this. My beard never feels especially 'conditioned' as this product claims to do.

The smell isn't horrible, but it's not what I would call pleasant. I dont find it repulsive by any means, just not overly aromatic or fragrant. Not that you would want it to be too much since its on your beard all day. Just an FYI - its a subtle smell to it.

If you use a few too many drops your beard will feel oily for quite a while. Didn't absorb in as quickly as it should have.

I tried hard to like this beard oil. The customer service dept. was quite polite and that's great, but the product? Not so much a fan of it. I'm not one to over or underrate a product. I feel this is a true representation of my experience with Leven Rose Beard Oil. It just did not work for me. I'm disappointed. They say it lasts a long time. after 5 months of steady use my bottle is about 75% gone. It didn't last nearly as long as I figured it would. I even cut my full beard to a mustache/goatee two months ago. So it should last longer than it has.
I hope the product will work better for you. If it doesn't - rest assured that I am confident the customer service department seems top notch. They will take good care of you.

My Beard Jumped Off My Face!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2015

Style: Beard OilVerified Purchase

As I grew my beard out I never gave much thought as to how to maintain it. Just was it, when I wash my face, I thought. But over time it became dry and coarse, so much so that I considered trimming down. But before I went that far I did some research, and I am glad I did! The plethora of beard products on the market are phenomenal! The prices (however) are not.
I was willing to pay for a good product, but not the $50-$100 some places were asking. Especially when the ingredients in them were largely the same, and natural.
I decided to see what amazon had to offer and was very surprised to see some well reviewed products on here. The strongest of which is this Beard Oil by Leven Rose. Well priced, extremely well reviewed to the point where it had to be genuine, unscented, and did mention well priced? I felt this was a good entry-level oil to try. I didn't want a scented oil as it may clash with my own musk, and the internet is yet to evolve into delivering scents through my ethernet cable.
The only thing that was drawing me to other products was the packaging. Being a designer (snob) I am drawn to well designed products. On this occasion I went against such a superficial vice and am so very glad I did!
Actual Product Review:
It is a simple as can be to use. A single half full syringe into my palm, then even distributed throughout my scruff with my fingers and with days by beard was alive. I'm not exaggerating! It jumped off my face, tried to murder my cat, read my kids a bedtime story, and fixed a leak in my roof!! Okay, I am exaggerating, but the difference was night and day. My beard is soft, but not too soft, shiny, but not greasy. It tickles my kids, not stabs them. I can kiss my wife without hearing an audible "ouch" from her.
I won't even consider looking elsewhere when my bottle runs dry.

Excellent product. Quality ingredients and performs extremely well. Soaks in quickly, doesn't leave an oily residue. Great value

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2016

So, I'm a relative newbie to beard maintenance products. For the past 25 or so years, I've always kept my beard "business short," which honestly required virtually no special attention beyond a conditioning shampoo. So, when I decided to go for a longer, thicker look I was suddenly faced with a host of problems that I'd never encountered before. Number 1 was itching (aka dry skin, flakes and wild-ass flyaway hairs). Number 2 was beard softness. Essentially, my beard grows very fast, very full and as I hit the 2 months stage of growth (about 2 inches) it was turning into one dry, coarse thick facial coverage of sandpaper. At which point I reached out for advice from my bearded brothers online (Facebook has some awesome beard and mustache groups!). The single, loudest reply to my cry for help was "dude, BEARD OIL!" So, off I went into the unknown land of brands, costs, ingredients and scents. Leven Rose Fragrance Free oil is my fourth different brand (hey, you don't know what yer gonna really like without a bit of experimenting).
I've been using it for a little over a week now and quite frankly, I'm darn impressed. Quality compared to the others I've tried is a solid 9 or 10, which means it works very well. It soaks in quickly and leaves your beard very soft and much easier to tame. Price compared to others I've tried? It's the least expensive brand I've purchased and does the job just as well. Fragrance-wise? Well, the only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars is because I ordered the unscented version, meaning I have no way of gauging the overall fragrance of their other scented products. All of the other brands I've purchased have been scented and I wanted to experiment with some fragrance free to see what it was like. Fragrence free it is and it does the job extremely well. I'll likely try out a few of their fragrance oils in the future (I do enjoy a nice, light sandalwood or outdoorsy smell).
So, there you have it. My two cents.
Yes, they do offer incentives if you write a review. Fair to admit that. But frankly it wouldn't have changed my review one bit. If it was s***, I'd review it as s***. I read a lot of Amazon reviews before purchases and try to comment on items as often as I can... it's a valuable tool when purchasing.
And one final note: I've seen a couple folks bitching that this is an expensive product for "simple beard oil." Um, BS. First off, it's not a "simple beard oil." It's made with top quality ingredients and does the job just as well as some oils I've bought that ran into the mid $20 range. If you really want a simple (aka, cheap) beard oil, try buying some of the $8 crap you'll find at some retail stores. It's greasy as hell, usually smells horrible and does a terrible job of soaking in and doing much of anything for your beard. It's a specialty item folks. If you're gonna spend the time and effort to grow a nice beard, don't skimp on the one product that is an absolute MUST HAVE.

Leven Rose's Beard Oil and Conditioner has to be my favorite product so far for a few reasons. I have tried several products to help with conditioning and grooming my beard. I have also tried different oils and conditioners in various forms (both alone and combined with beard wax/styling products).

First off, fragrance free is a big win for me (and my wife). Some of the other products I tried had overwhelming smells, which after smelling for only part of the day would cause headaches. This oil has zero smell. Even when applying larger amounts than recommended (I use 3-4 drops per application) there is no noticeable smell.

This product also does not leave your beard feeling oily and greasy as many others do. I use this in addition to Honest Amish beard wax (my preferred wax). I have noticed that I'm able to use less wax when using this oil. Before I assumed the greasy/oily feeling was coming from whatever wax I was using at the time, but as soon as I switched to this beard oil and conditioner I noticed that wasn't the case. I switched back to my other conditioner(s) for a couple days and sure enough those were the culprits of the greasy/oily feeling.

After using several conditioners/oils I noticed that my beard was better than if not using them, obviously. But when I switched to this beard oil I can notice a huge difference in the texture of my beard. It's MUCH softer than when using other oils. I use 3-4 drops each day combined with a small portion of wax. It makes applying the wax easier and if you don't use a leave-in conditioner with your wax you'll notice the wax will dry out your hair.

Another advantage of this product is the packaging. Having the ability to better control the amount during an application is important and makes it easier to travel with. Other oils/conditioners are typically given with only bottles and no dropper and you end up using more than intended, and I've even tried conditioners in cans/tins which tend to clump.

Overall, A+ on this product for packaging (and speedy shipping), lack of fragrance, and effectiveness. Hopefully you'll find my comparisons helpful. I enjoy trying out different beard oils/conditioners/waxes and my review on this product is in comparison to all others I have tried.

NOTE: I HIGHLY recommend only using products that consist of 100% pure and natural ingredients. You can be guaranteed that Leven Rose takes pride in their products being 100% pure and natural.

and I will say I worked awesome. I was able to let my beard grow ...

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2015

I've tried to grow beards in the past, but once it got to a certain length it became to itchy. I decided to give this beard oil a try, and I will say I worked awesome. I was able to let my beard grow out and never had an itchy period of time with it. It gave my beard a nice sheen, and I loved that it has a dropper cap.

Once I had finished with the bottle I felt I needed to give other products a try. The first one I tried after this Beard Oil was a beard balm, Honest Amish, which I also have good results with. But the oil is much less messy and easier to apply. So after I finished that product, I thought I would try another beard oil - I decided to give a name brand oil a try, Golddachs. I'm currently using that product which I paid three times as much for, because I wanted to see the comparison. So far, I'm disappointed. The packaging of Golddachs is a similar bottle, but without the eye dropper. Making it difficult to get just a few drops out. The results of the Golddachs product are a bit disappointing - I'd say it kind of works. Looking at the ingredients - seems I paid about $35 for 0.66 ml of Grape seed oil. Maybe next time I'll go to the kitchen?

So comparisons:
* Between Leven Rose Beard Oil, and the Honest Amish Beard Balm, I would go with the Leven Rose Beard Oil. It's easier and quicker to apply than Balm and the results were very similar. Also with the Beard Balm, I felt like my hair was more greasy/oily through the day.
* Between Leven Rose Beard Oil, and the Golddachs Beard Oil, I would go with Leven Rose Beard Oil by far. Leven Rose Beard Oil was a much better product in my opinion. My beard was softer the skin underneath never dried or itchy. Also the bottle with Leven Rose has a eye dropper which made it easier to get just a few drops. And of course the price difference!

I'm going to finish this little bottle of Golddachs - I hate wasting it, but I'll be back to Leven Rose as soon as it's done.

Easy to slap on. No smell, no dandruff and a softer beard. Can't go without this stuff now.

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2015

This stuff is great. I'm a very basic guy with little experience using "products" in my hair. I've had a beard of various lengths since I was a teenager - and that was over 20 years ago. Lately I have a goatee that is two fingers-width below my chin. I've never really been bothered by itchiness that many others complain about but I have had beard dandruff and that's pretty annoying at times. This stuff has a very mild smell that seems to go away in a few hours after applying. It doesn't smell like cologne or flowers. There is just a trace of an odor that is pretty neutral in my opinion. It has the color and almost the consistency of olive oil when you use the dropper to put a dab in the palm of your hand. If you put it on too thick it can leave a greasy residue. You just have to figure how much you need. I'm constantly tugging at my beard in contemplation throughout the day and I don't notice any residue after a short time. It makes my beard look great. I don't have as many crazy, scraggly, stray hairs sticking out every which way. The real benefit though is that even in the dry environment that I live in, I don't have a problem with beard dandruff anymore. I have no trouble wearing dark shirts to work or out to dinner. I now keep this stuff in stock next to the toothpaste, soap and shaving cream. It's pretty essential for me at this point. I'm not sure how I didn't know about this stuff before. If you've got a beard, you ought to give this stuff a try.

Good 1st time beard oil. Very light to no scent.

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2016

Style: Beard OilVerified Purchase

I enjoy using this beard oil, so far. I do not have experience using any other oils at this time, but this one meets my expectations.

Pros:
1. I really like that this is unscented. If you really smell it, there is a scent, but it is not strong by any means, nor will you smell it all day.
2. It's a pretty big bottle size for the price and has lasted quite a while. I use it almost daily. Sometimes twice a day.
3. It helps prevent dry beard flakes
4. If used consistently, it helps to prevent itching as much.
5. I do notice a softer beard throughout the day (so does my wife).

Cons:
1. Seems like I need to use more than expected (I usually use 7-8 drops and I do not have a long beard by any means).
2. Pretty basic oil (which has been just fine so far).

I have enjoyed using this as my 1st beard oil. I will finish this bottle, but I am going to try a different blend next time around to have something else to compare it to.

Edit: After now using other brands and recipes of beard oil/balms, I can say that this is still a good introduction to beard oils. I have now used others with more extensive ingredients than just argon and jojoba oil and they do seem to hydrate a bit better as well as help tame my beard. But, they also all include these two ingredients, so they are a good base combination to start off with, for a cheap price.

Please let me know if this review is helpful. Thank you.
