Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about our products, scents, shipping and more.

Products & Use

What does beard oil do?

Beard oil hydrates the skin under your beard and softens the hair. That stops itch, cuts down on beard dandruff and makes your beard easier to manage.

What's the difference between oil, balm and butter?
  • Beard Oil: hydration and skin health
  • Beard Balm: light hold and styling
  • Beard Butter: deep conditioning and softness

Most guys use oil every day and add balm or butter depending on whether they want hold or extra softness.

How do I use beard oil?

Put a few drops in your palms, rub them together and work it into your beard, reaching the skin underneath. Start with 3–5 drops and add more for a longer beard. It works best right after a shower. See our how-to guide.

Will it help with beard itch and dandruff?

Yes. Itch and flakes come from dry skin. Our formulas hydrate the skin under your beard, which is what fixes the problem.

Will my beard feel greasy?

No. Our oils absorb into the skin and hair and leave your beard soft, not oily.

I only have stubble. Will it help?

Yes. Oil works at any length. It softens new growth and calms the itchy early stage.

What's in your beard oil?

Our beard oils blend castor, coconut, sweet almond, argan and jojoba oils with an IFRA-compliant fragrance oil. The full ingredient list is on every product page.

I have a nut or coconut allergy. Can I use it?

Our beard oils contain sweet almond oil (a tree nut) and coconut oil. If you have a nut or coconut allergy, check the ingredients on each product page and ask your doctor before using it. If you have sensitive skin, try a small patch first.

Where are your products made?

In the USA. Every order is made to order and ships from our shop in Franklin, Tennessee.

Do you have products if I don't have a beard?

Yes. Our natural deodorant and cologne come in the same character scents, no beard required.

What makes Fable different?

We don't make generic scents. Every product is built around a character, a story and a scent you can't get anywhere else. More than 400,000 orders shipped and 40,000+ reviews averaging 4.7 stars.

Scents

How do I find the right scent?

Take our Scent Quest: 6 quick questions that match you to a scent family. Or browse by family: Sweet & Dessert, Woods & Outdoors, Fruity & Tropical, Fresh & Clean, Cologne Inspired, Tobacco & Leather and Spirits & Spice.

What are character-based scents?

Every scent is tied to a character in the Fable universe, so each product has its own identity, story and personality. Meet the characters.

How strong are the scents?

Noticeable but not overwhelming. They're made for everyday wear.

How long do the scents last?

Most customers get all-day scent. Many blends change as they wear and reveal different notes over time.

Do you have an unscented option?

Yes. See our unscented beard care.

Can I match one scent across products?

Yes. Most characters come in oil, balm, butter, wash, conditioner, deodorant and cologne. Our kits and Ultimate Bundles put a character's products together and cost less than buying them separately.

What if I don't like a scent?

Our worry-free scent exchange has you covered. Email customerservice@fablebeardco.com within 90 days and we'll exchange it for a scent you'll love.

Do limited scents come back?

Most don't. Many releases are limited and retire, which is part of what makes collecting Fable fun. See our limited scents while they last.
