Honest Amish Pure Unscented Beard Oil Review

I tested Honest Amish Pure Unscented Beard Oil for two months. Read my review here to learn what I thought and what my results were.

Introduction

Following my test of Honest Amish Classic Beard Oil, I switched to Honest Amish Pure Unscented Beard Oil. I followed the same application steps as with my previous tests. My original plan was to use it for two weeks, write a review, then move on to reviews for more products I’ve been using. Life often doesn’t go as planned. I did use the beard oil exclusively for two weeks. Then, I had to deal with an unexpected family issue. We’re finally getting things under control now, but as a result, I ended up using Honest Amish Pure Unscented Beard oil for nearly two months. I did occasionally use a couple of other oils here and there when I wanted a change of pace or something with a scent.

A Refresher on Beard Oil Basics

Beard oil is a product that nourishes both beard hair and the skin underneath. It provides moisture to keep the beard soft, reduce itching, and strengthen beard hairs. Many beard oils also include ingredients that make your beard smell nice. However, unscented oils are sometimes preferred for reasons such as sensitive skin or a desire to obtain scent profiles from other products.

See How to Use Beard Oil for beard oil application instructions.

My Two-Month Honest Amish Pure Unscented Beard Oil Test

I followed the same consistent method I am currently using for all my beard oil reviews.

1. I used the Honest Amish Pure Unscented Beard Oil daily and made sure my beard was wet before application.

2. I used 4 to 5 drops of the Honest Amish beard oil. I had already discarded the box before writing this review. There are no instructions on the bottle as to how much to use. I have a longer beard, so 4 to 5 drops works well for me. The Honest Amish website says to use a dime-sized amount. That’s about 4 to 5 drops. If your beard is short, you may want to start with 1 to 2 drops and adjust as needed.

3. I focused on working the oil into the skin under my beard instead of the hair. Focusing on the skin still ensures enough oil gets onto the beard. I use my fingertips to work the oil deep into the beard and onto the skin.

4. I used a boar bristle brush to work the oil into my beard. This also provides some light exfoliation of the skin under the beard.

5. I repeated this process daily for nearly two months.

Results: Beard Health & Feel

Honest Amish has a reputation for producing quality beard oils. This is the third Honest Amish beard oil I have tested and the pure unscented oil is the best I’ve tried so far. I like it better than both the premium and the classic. It warms up nicely in my hands when I rub them together and feels great in my beard. My beard hair feels better than with any other oil I’ve tried in the past.

Scent

Even though the beard oil is unscented, it still has a very light scent from the scent profile of the natural oils. This is hardly noticeable after application though.

Honest Amish Pure Unscented Beard Oil Ingredients

The Honest Amish bottle states “Nothing Artificial”. This is a great brand if you are the type of consumer that prefers natural ingredients.

Reminder: Always do a patch test before trying a new product on your skin, and read the ingredients list carefully.

The Honest Amish ingredients list consists of 7 oils.

There are some discrepancies between the ingredients listed on the website and the ingredients listed on the bottle I received. The main ingredient listed on the bottle is avocado oil, while the main ingredient listed on the website is pumpkin seed oil. Both of these oils are at the top of the list either way, so it’s not really an issue for me. I assume either the packaging or the website might be outdated.

After pumpkin seed oil and avocado oil, the remaining oils are, in order on my bottle:

• Sweet Almond Oil
• Apricot Kernel Oil
• Argan Oil
• Golden Jojoba Oil
• Kukui Nut Oil

This is essentially the same list of ingredients as the Classic oil, but without the essential oils. So, if you like the moisturizing and nourishing properties of the Classic, but are concerned by the number of essential oils or have sensitive skin, the pure unscented oil may be a good option.

Price Point

The Honest Amish website currently lists a 2 oz bottle of the Pure Unscented oil at $13.57 USD. This is a little higher than some oils, but not too bad considering the quality of the ingredients. For comparison, a 1 oz bottle of Cremo Heritage Red Beard Oil is currently $10.97 at Walmart. So, per ounce, the Honest Amish oil is still less expensive.

Pros

• Excellent for everyday use.
• Unscented. A pro if you prefer this quality.
• Simple, natural formula.
• Great option for sensitive skin. Same oils as the Classic version without the 7 extra essential oils.
• Good value per ounce.

Cons

• Ingredients list differs between the website and the bottle. Possibly due to outdated packaging or website content.
• No clear usage instructions on the bottle.
• Unscented. A con if you are looking for something with a scent.

Final Thoughts

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

My beard felt soft and hydrated after two months of consistent use. I very much like how it makes my beard feel. The effects were noticeable and my beard felt softer and fuller than with any other oils I have tried. Honest Amish is a highly regarded product, especially for a non-boutique brand available at big box stores. This is the best beard oil I have found that is available from big-box retailers. Honest Amish also uses all-natural ingredients, which I appreciate. I don’t know if my opinion will change when I start reviewing more boutique oils, but the pure unscented oil will stay in my rotation as my number one choice for every day use for now.

Update (05/09/2025): After trying the pure unscented beard oil, I wrote a comparison of Classic vs Premium vs Pure Unscented.
