Beard care isn’t just grooming—it’s self-care with purpose. If you’re dealing with beard itch, dryness, patchy growth, or flakes, you’re not alone. These are some of the most common beard problems men face—but the good news is they’re all fixable with the right beard care routine. At East 223rd, we craft every product using African-inspired, natural ingredients to help you grow a stronger, softer, and healthier beard—rooted in tradition.

1. Dry Beard

The Problem: Your beard feels brittle, rough, or straw-like.

The Cause: Overwashing, lack of moisture, or using products that strip your hair of natural oils.

The Fix: Hydration is key. Our Beard Oil, made with Chebe Oil Base, Olive Oil, Argan Oil, and Black Seed Oil, penetrates deeply to nourish both beard and skin. Massage a few drops in daily, especially after cleansing, to keep your beard soft, shiny, and healthy.

2. Itchy, Flaky Skin (aka Beardruff)

The Problem: You notice white flakes or feel constant itchiness beneath your beard.

The Cause: Dry skin, product buildup, or not cleansing properly.

The Fix: A clean beard is a happy beard. Use our Beard Wash 2-3 times a week to remove buildup without stripping your natural oils. Follow with our Beard Conditioner to replenish moisture and calm the skin underneath.

The Fix: Treat your beard like royalty. Our Beard Moisturizer, featuring Kokum Butter, Castor Oil, and Chebe Oil Base, delivers deep moisture and protection. Use it daily or after showering to reinforce strands and reduce breakage.
