The same quietly distinguished character that defines the Private Stock Beard Oil, now in a balm format built for beards that need a little more. Captain Fawcett's Private Stock Beard Balm blends the signature Cedarwood, Black Pepper, Patchouli, and Palmarosa fragrance with a rich conditioning base of Almond Oil, Shea Butter, and Candelilla Wax - delivering the light hold and smoothing control that longer, fuller beards benefit from daily. Hand-blended in small batches at the Norfolk workshop. Understated, effective, and exactly right.

Scent Profile
Top Notes: Cedarwood Middle Notes: Black Pepper, Patchouli Base Notes: Palmarosa Private Stock opens with the clean warmth of Cedarwood - grounded and immediately familiar. Black Pepper adds a quiet bite in the heart, lifted by the earthy depth of Patchouli beneath it. The dry-down settles into Palmarosa, a soft, rosy-green note that smooths the edges and lingers with a gentlemanly elegance. Woody, warm, and built for daily wear.
Key Ingredients
-
Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis) - A nourishing carrier oil that softens beard hair and conditions the skin beneath with daily use.
-
Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) - A rich, emollient butter that deeply moisturizes both beard hair and skin, adding softness and a healthy sheen.
-
Candelilla Wax (Euphorbia Cerifera) - A plant-derived wax that provides light hold and helps the balm spread evenly through the beard without stiffness.
-
Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil - A lightweight, fast-absorbing oil rich in erucic acid that conditions without heaviness and helps the formula spread smoothly.
-
Cedarwood Oil (Cedrus Atlantica) - A warm, woody essential oil that anchors the fragrance and contributes to the balm's refined scent profile.
-
Black Pepper Oil (Piper Nigrum) - Adds a subtle spiced warmth to the fragrance while offering skin-stimulating properties.
-
Patchouli Oil (Pogostemon Cablin) - A deeply earthy essential oil that anchors the scent and adds richness to the overall blend.
-
Palmarosa Oil (Cymbopogon Martini) - A softly floral, rosy-green oil that rounds out the fragrance and contributes gentle skin-conditioning properties.
How To Use
Scoop a small amount of balm - roughly a fingernail's worth - and warm between your palms until it melts. Work evenly through a clean, dry beard from root to tip, shaping as you go. Use daily for best results. Adjust the amount based on beard length and thickness.
