What Goes In. What Stays Out.
Ingredient Transparency β The Riot Act Beard Co.
We do not hide behind vague labels. Every product we make has a full ingredient list on its page. Here is what we actually use β and what we refuse to put in anything that goes on your face.
πΊπΈ Handcrafted in the USA
Every product is made by hand in Harriman, Tennessee. No overseas manufacturing. No contract labs. No shortcuts. What you receive was made here, in small batches, by people who use these products themselves.
Our Core Carrier Oils
Jojoba Oil β Closest to the skin's natural sebum. Fast-absorbing, non-greasy, deeply conditions beard hair and the skin beneath.
Argan Oil β Cold-pressed from the Moroccan argan tree. Rich in Vitamin E and fatty acids. Softens coarse beard hair and adds shine without weight.
Sweet Almond Oil β Lightweight conditioning oil packed with vitamins A, B, and E. Locks in moisture and reduces beard itch.
Fractionated Coconut Oil β Stays liquid at room temperature. Ultra-light, deeply penetrating, extends the life of scent.
Castor Oil β Used in select balms and butters. Thickens the formula and supports beard growth and fullness.
Our Butters & Waxes
Shea Butter β Unrefined, raw shea for deep conditioning. Used in our beard butters and balms to add weight and moisture to thick, coarse beards.
Beeswax β Natural hold agent used in beard balms. Provides light to medium hold without stiffness. Locks in moisture all day.
Mango Butter β Lighter than shea, melts on contact with skin. Exceptional for dry or sensitive skin under the beard.
Our Scent Ingredients
Essential Oils β Used throughout our line. Cedarwood, peppermint, pine, vetiver, cade, rosemary, tea tree, frankincense, and others depending on the product.
Fragrance Oils β Used in select products where essential oils cannot replicate the scent profile. We use body-safe, skin-tested fragrance oils only. No cheap synthetics.
Absolutes β Jasmine Absolute and Cacao Absolute appear in premium products. These are natural, solvent-extracted aromatics that provide unmatched scent complexity.
What We Never Use
β Parabens
β Sulfates
β Mineral oil or petroleum byproducts
β Synthetic dyes or colorants in our grooming oils
β Fillers or water added to extend product volume
β Ingredients we cannot pronounce or explain
