Ingredients
Wild Willies
-
100% natural ingredients and no chemicals, preservatives, and colorants
-
All Wild Willies' Progro products are infused with biotin and caffeine to help you grow a thicker, fuller beard. Caffeine and biotin work to stimulate hair growth by opening up the pores and increasing blood circulation to the hair follicles.
-
The beard shampoo contains natural ingredients like vitamin E and peppermint, eucalyptus, and lemongrass essential oils to keep your facial hair clean and soft without stripping away natural oils from your skin and hair.
-
Hemp Beard Elixir contains natural and organic ingredients like argan oil and jojoba oil for rebuilding skin. It's packed with Vitamin B and E as well as zinc and copper, which are essential for cell regeneration and healthy hair growth. Argan oil hydrates and neutralizes free radicals that can damage your hair.
Scotch Porter
-
Beard Wash moisturizes your beard and promotes hair growth with a blend of burdock root, nettle leaf, and aloe vera. Nettle leaf is full of vitamin A, C, D, B, protein, and amino acids.
-
Beard Conditioner is formulated with biotin liposomes, or water-soluble B complex vitamins, which help to nourish and promote hair growth.
-
Smoothing Beard Serum hydrates and smooths facial hair and skin by using avocado and jojoba seed oils. These ingredients lock in moisture all day leaving your beard smooth, shiny, and frizz-free.
-
The Beard Balm softens and maintains coarse dry beards with white willow bark. It's used for its flake reduction benefits, and helps to reduce inflammation and redness. White willow bark also increases the rate of cellular renewal to exfoliate dead skin cells.
-
No sulfates, silicones, petrolatum, parabens, mineral oil, synthetic colors, phthalates, PEG’s, or animal ingredients.
-
Products do mention artificial fragrances and perfumes for scent.
Winner: Wild Willies
While both brands use quality ingredients, Wild Willies takes the win for using 100% natural ingredients in their products. The use of ingredients like jojoba oil, biotin, and caffeine help stimulate hair growth.
The essential oils for their added benefits and fragrance push them over the edge, as they are better for the skin (most artificial fragrance contains alcohols) and typically work well for most customers - even those with sensitive skin.
Who it’s best for
Wild Willies
The Wild Willies Beard Kit is best for men who starting to grow a beard or are past the stubble and on their way to a full, thick beard. It's also a great option for those who want to keep a shorter beard or who struggle with thinness or patchiness throughout.
Scotch Porter
The Scotch Porter Kit is better for those with dry, coarse, or curly hair. Each product is tailored to hydrate, nourish, and moisturize facial hair and skin.
