Origin Beard Co began on the East side of Portland with a single idea by a single guy: that our beards should be as healthy as the rest of us tries to be. When it comes to beard care, conventional stores carry one or two grooming gels that contain a long list of ingredients unpronounceable without a chemistry degree that leave your face looking and feeling slick. Meanwhile, the hip boutiques carry expensive beard oils that contain predominantly inexpensive and inefficient active ingredients and leave your face tingly and masculinely fragrant but do very little.
