Beard Balm [SEP] I bought this to keep my beard soft and to promote growth but from all I can tell is that it make it softer. My issue is that depending on the temperature of your home, the consistency of the balm will change. So if it’s below 68 you’ll get a thick gel form if it’s above 68 you’ll get a sloppy shot of goo in your hand and lots of it. A little gritty but smell nice as well.
