FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is in Norrdic Thoughts beard oil?

A classic carrier-oil blend: jojoba, argan, grapeseed, sweet almond, castor, and vitamin E, scented with our Still Fjord blend of bergamot, sea air, juniper, birch, and cedar.

What is a carrier oil?

A carrier oil is a plain plant oil used as the base of a product, often to dilute fragrance or active ingredients and to coat the hair. Beard oils are mostly made of carrier oils.

What is jojoba oil?

Jojoba oil comes from the seeds of the jojoba shrub. It is technically a liquid wax rather than a true oil, and it is valued for a light, clean finish.

What is argan oil?

Argan oil is pressed from the kernels of the argan tree, which grows in Morocco. It is used in grooming for a soft, conditioned feel.

What is grapeseed oil?

Grapeseed oil is pressed from grape seeds, a by-product of winemaking. It is thin and fast, so it adds slip without feeling heavy.

What is sweet almond oil, and is it a nut allergen?

Sweet almond oil is pressed from almond kernels and is a smooth, familiar base. Almonds are a tree nut, so anyone with a tree nut allergy should not use a product containing it.

What is castor oil?

Castor oil is pressed from castor beans. It is thick and adds body and a little shine, which is why it is used in small proportion.

What is vitamin E doing in the blend?

Vitamin E (tocopherol) is commonly added to plant-oil products to help keep the oils from going off. It is part of the blend for that reason.

Does the oil have a scent?

Yes, one. Still Fjord opens with bergamot and sea air, settles into juniper and birch, and finishes on cedar with a trace of smoke. It is light and sits close to the skin.

Does Norrdic Thoughts make health claims?

No. The brand describes how the oil feels and looks, such as a soft, conditioned finish.

Is the oil safe for sensitive skin?

Every skin is different. Do a patch test first, and speak with a doctor or dermatologist if you have a skin condition. We make no claim about treating any skin or hair condition.

Why such a short ingredient list?

Because the point is restraint. A short list of well-known carrier oils is easy to read, easy to check against allergies, and easy to trust. The formula is a classic one, and the difference is in the ritual and the design.
