Given the explosive growth of men’s beards — both literally and as a product category — many beard companies are expanding their range of offerings, pumping out everything from oils and balms to basic grooming tools like beard combs.

But Atwater is going in a different direction. The company’s new 5-in-1 beard oil, Smooth Target, is designed to be all things to all men when it comes to beard care.

Complete beard care in a single package

Atwater is touting Smooth Target as the first of its kind when it comes to the complete beard coverage it provides, and the list of what it does is impressive:

  • Hydration
  • Beard softening
  • Exfoliating
  • Soothing
  • Fighting odors

Breaking this list down, exfoliating and odor-fighting are the two items you typically won’t see in most beard products. A deeper look  reveals an ingredients list of natural oils that are quickly absorbed, with each oil included to perform a specific task.

  • Apple seed oil: Rich in fatty acids that hydrate and soften skin and beard hairs.
  • Papaya extract: Works as a natural exfoliator thanks to the rich properties of vitamin C, carotenes, and flavonoids.
  • Lavender oil: A natural anti-inflammatory that soothes the skin beneath the beard and prevent blemishes from forming.
  • Rosemary oil: Prevents bacteria from thriving on the skin and leaving an odor behind.

The result is a product designed to promote healthy beard growth, eliminate itchiness, and help manage styling without focusing on a specific scent or fragrance. The pricing is a comfortable $35, so that men don’t have to purchase an array of beard products that typically land in the $10-20 range.

Smooth Target is now available on Atwater’s site, with additional retail availability via Bluemercury, Nordstrom and Amazon.

Beards are one of the best ways to define your own personal style. How you decide to grow one out and shape it can be as unique and individual to you as a personal hairstyle can be; that's true if you decide to go bald and bearded as well. However you decide to shape your beard, how you decide to take care of your beard is almost even more important.

What about if you just so happen to have some other skin issues going on? We asked five skincare experts about all things related to beards, skin, and products to make sure you have the best grooming skincare routine around to maximize your beard’s growth and health.

Industrial. Exposed piping. Plenty of wood details and even more sports memorabilia. Maybe there was even beer.

Male-focused salons and spas are in short supply. The ones that do exist often lean into that tired, bro-y aesthetic. Treadwell is breaking the mold.

Beard care for Black men: An expert gives us their top tips
Give your beard the TLC it needs and deserves, and take better care of your facial skin while you're at it

Whether you are looking for an elegant whisper of facial hair like Mahershala Ali, or the slightly thicker, dapper brush of Idris Elba; the shaggy, soulful scruff of Quest Love, or the luscious, thick styling of James Harden’s bristles, a beard can be a statement of style with immense impact. Those aesthetic grooming choices come with their own struggles, though for most men of African descent, Black skin is prone to ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and even keloids (a scar that can result from scar tissue growing over the wound formed by the ingrown hair).
To get the very best advice we could for beard care for Black men, we checked in with Gillette Barber Council Member Barry Hairston. He is a Dallas-based barber whose clients have included Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry and Sacramento Kings Center-Forward Tristan Thompson. Hairston has several pro-athlete clients in the Dallas area, including NBA and MLB players.
