New Chapter: The Genesis of Small Batch Beard Co.
Late 2017 marked a major turning point. After being medically retired by the Department of Defense and found 100% disabled by the VA, I found myself with a significant amount of free time—and, for the first time, the rare opportunity to grow the beard I'd always wanted.
The excitement of a new beard quickly faded into frustration. My sensitive skin was reacting poorly to nearly every mainstream product I tried. They were either too harsh, too greasy, or simply not up to the task. With a limited budget, I decided to embark on a mission: to formulate the perfect blend myself.
It was a journey of many trials and tribulations, but eventually, I produced an oil / beard butter hybrid that finally checked all the boxes for my skin and beard. I had done it—I had created my own personal stash of beard care perfection.
This personal project soon expanded. Over the years, I went from making products for my own beard to crafting them for family, friends, and others who heard about the quality through word of mouth. After much poking and prodding by this growing circle of fans, the decision was finally made to share my hard-earned product with a wider bearded audience.
Our Promise: Small Batch, Made to Order
The transition to a business doesn't change our roots. The quality you get is directly tied to our production method: Small Batch, Made to Order.
I, John Bryant, still personally blend and pour every single bottle of beard oil and liquid beard butter only after an order is placed. This isn't just a marketing slogan; it's a commitment. It guarantees that every customer receives the freshest possible product—what I consider the best beard oil that money can buy.
Just small batch made to order production in every bottle. From my hands to yours.
