While ostrich oil has similar levels of Omegas 6 and 9 as emu oil, it has approximately 10x the amount of the all-important Omega 3 fatty acid compared to emu oil.  Omega-3 fats are renowned for their powerful health benefits, including improving skin barrier function by sealing in moisture and keeping out irritants, lowering inflammation, reducing acne, and protecting against dry, red, and itchy skin.

Lanolin - No animals are harmed in the production of making lanolin. After hours and hours of testing we believe the positives of using lanolin in our balms, even though it is only a small portion of the formula outweighs the negatives.

Similar to beeswax, lanolin provides a waterproof barrier around the beard but is no where near as hard.
