Beard Wash Block

The skin under a beard is more sensitive than the scalp, and most shampoos and body washes are built to strip oil — that's what leaves a beard dry, brittle and itchy. This bar is formulated with plant-based oils that lift away grime and build-up while leaving enough of the beard's natural oils intact to stay soft and manageable. No synthetic detergents, no overpowering fragrance.

Being a solid bar also means no plastic bottle and no water weight — nothing to leak in a wash bag. One block outlasts a bottle of liquid wash several times over.

Wet the beard and the bar, then work into a lather between your hands or straight onto the beard. Massage through and rinse thoroughly. Let the block dry out on a draining dish between uses to make it last longer. Follow with Beard Oil and Beard Styling Balm for best results.

Follow it with Beard Oil to nourish and Beard Styling Balm for hold and shape, or get the whole routine sorted with the Beard Kit. Wondering why a beard needs its own wash? Read beard wash vs regular shampoo.

Is a beard wash the same as beard shampoo?
Same job, different name. Beard wash and beard shampoo both mean a cleanser made for facial hair and the skin under it. Stuga beard wash is a solid bar rather than a bottle, so it goes further and travels without leaking.

What is the best thing to wash a beard with?
A cleanser made for beards. Beard hair is coarser than head hair and the skin under it is more sensitive, so a beard wash cleans without taking the natural oils with it. Follow with beard oil while the beard is still damp.

How often should you use beard wash?
Two or three times a week suits most beards. Daily is fine with this bar because it is mild. Wet the beard, lather the block between your hands, work it through and rinse.

Is Stuga beard wash made in Australia?
Yes. The Stuga Beard Wash Block is made in Moss Vale, NSW, with goat milk and plant oils. Cruelty-free and plastic-free, in eight scents or unscented.

Do you need a beard wash for a short beard?
Yes. A short beard traps sweat and grime the same as a long one. A beard wash keeps the skin under it clear and the beard soft as it grows through.
