Review
The description is awesome and bang on. Light, non-greasy and it leaves my beard feeling soft and my skin hydrated. The citrusy scent with spicy, musky notes is really refreshing. I wanted this oil on my beard. I love the family business vibe; the goats, the ethos, the making of a dam, the employment opportunities! It is really obvious what the brand values and the fact that they are communicating all these things is great as there’s more ways to make massive impact then adhering “sustainability certifications.” I feel like I was able to discern the Why of the company through what was written and what they are driving towards.

Review
This oil smells great, works really well and feels awesome on my beard. So I really liked this product! I love a small, home business trying to create really wonderful and local products. Improving their environment and creating opportunities for other small producers to follow suit in various areas is also really great.

Review
A lightweight, non-greasy oil that absorbs fully into the skin. The clever combination of essential oils has created a subtle musky, citrus scent with a cheeky hint of black pepper coming through. Foxhound Beard and Face Oil is a product every man and beard, would enjoy! I love that this husband and wife team manufacture all products on their farm in Victoria. I am particularly impressed by their sustainable farming initiatives, such as building a dam to encourage a wetland environment. The brand is also active in the local community.

Ethical
Buck n Beard is a small business located in Cohuna, Victoria, where all products are manufactured on-farm by the owners. They pride themselves on ethical farming practices, such as ensuring does reach maturity before breeding, rehoming surplus buck kids, regular health screenings for livestock and providing comfortable retirement for animals no longer fit to reproduce. Production animals are given a break from milking for 6 months each year and kids are hand-raised in a protected barn. The brand also does not conduct animal testing and instead uses human volunteers to test their products before bringing them to market.
Sustainable
Buck n Beard's Beard & Face Oils are packaged in recyclable glass droppers and product labelling is sourced locally to reduce their carbon footprint. Customers are encouraged to request their soaps 'naked' without individual box packaging and to return their empty soap boxes for re-use. All customer purchases are packaged in paper bags or cardboard boxes to avoid single-use plastic. Skincare products are housed in recyclable aluminium tins, glass bottles, or recycled PPE. The brand focuses on sustainable farming practices such as keeping bees, creating wetland environments and implementing a tree-planting program to increase the native tree population by 10% annually.
Responsible
Buck n Beard is actively involved in supporting and engaging with the local community in a small rural town. They have voluntarily organised and run the Cohuna Farmers & Makers Market for the past 5 years, focusing on supporting local farmers, makers and businesses, as well as promoting tourism in the town. Additionally, they have mentored individuals through Startup Central Victoria Accelerator Programs and provided work experience to high school students over the past 9 years.
