Machado Beard Balm  is carefully scented with Myrtle and is based on an old traditional formula. Only the finest ingredients are used including Natural Beeswax, Portuguese Olive Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, African Shea Butter and Myrtle essential oil. The myrtle plant first appears in history in ancient Greece, and it was associated with Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty. Furthermore, the bravest soldiers, athletes and nobles were honoured with its leaves.  Myrtle  Essential Oil is known for its properties as antiseptic, astringent, aphrodisiac and antibacterial. It also leaves your beard smelling beautiful. The natural ingredients are carefully combined to produce a quality balm which is similar to light hair wax. When heated up in your hands it turns into an oily smooth paste. The balm is excellent to help treat patchy beards, beard itch and the flaky skin underneath your beard. The conditioning agents work deep to give a full healthy sculpted beard.Directions for use: Put a small amount of balm on your hands and apply evenly throughout your beard until you are 100% sure it is absolutely Gor-jess!!
