Meninge Oil Customer Reviews
As Meninge Oil is an extremely new product, reviews from past customers are still very hard to find.
This does make it a bit more difficult to complete an extensive review of Meninge Oil, as customer reviews are one of the most unbiased ways to get a feel for what a product brings to the table. It would have been particularly nice to get some feedback on the money back guarantee as well.
That said, the few reviews that we did manage to find on the product all said the same thing, which is that it immediately made their beard look thicker and fuller, feel smoother and stronger, and smell great. Some customers also praised the ease of purchase and speed of delivery as well.
So, while a lack of reviews on the long term effects of Meninge Oil is the only thing stopping it from getting 5 stars across the board, if the customer reviews we do have are anything to go by, we will quickly see Meninge Oil establish itself as the industry leader in beard oils in every category.
It's also worth mentioning that our product testers, in this case, Lee and Steve, both loved the product, our mystery shopper said it was great and most liked the smell being predominantly cedar. They all mentioned that the lavender wasn't too noticeable, more of a hint in terms of scent and the same could be said for the thyme. Of the 3 one said he'd have preferred a little bit less peppermint, but it certainly wasn't a deal breaker.
Meninge Oil Ingredients
Argan Oil - Argan oil is a natural oil rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, vitamin e, and various phenolic compounds, and known for its many health benefits. It is extracted from the seeds and kernels of the Argan tree, which is native to Morocco and the surrounding countries, and has an extensive range of uses.
While its essential nutrient content and antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties have led to it being used in cooking and oral supplements, to provide benefits like improved heart health and a reduction in inflammation, tumours and blood sugar levels, it is best known for its external uses.
It can improve skin elasticity and hydration and reduce oxidative stress, to reduce the signs of aging, relieve certain skin conditions, promote wound healing, moisturise the hair, prevent skin and hair damage, and moisturise and condition beard hair and prevent it from getting dry or breaking (1).
Rosemary Oil - Rosemary oil is an essential oil extracted from the rosemary plant that is native to the Mediterranean region of Europe. It is extensively used in topical creams, oils and ointments, due to the nutrients and flavonoids that it contains and incredible number of benefits that it offers for both the hair and skin.
It can stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles, promoting growth and nutrient delivery, block DHT (dihydrotestosterone) to prevent hair thinning and loss, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, make the skin look tighter, combat acne and inflamed patches of skin, and even remove visible cellulite.
Massaging rosemary oil into the skin can even offer a number of internal benefits too. This includes improved mental functions, reduced stress levels, the ability to combat pain and boost your mood, keeping you generally healthy, reducing inflammation, and even keeping bugs away from you (2).
Cedarwood Oil - Cedarwood oil is an oil extracted from conifer trees, primarily those in the pine or cypress families. It is widely used for its aromatherapeutic benefits, as it is well known to have an extremely pleasant smell that relaxes the mind and body, deters the majority of bugs and insects, and prevents mildew.
It is also particularly popular in beard oils, as it can help to balance oil production in the skin while moisturising the beard and making it smell pleasant. This will strengthen the beard follicles and stimulate beard growth, and it can provide the same benefits for your head hair as well (3).
Other benefits linked to the topical use of cedarwood oil include improved brain functions, focus, concentration, mental clarity, and sleep quality, relief from stress, anxiety, and hyperactivity, better skin quality, a reduction in acne, inflammation, and respiratory issues, and a notably enhanced libido.
Peppermint Oil - Peppermint oil is an essential oil created from the peppermint plant, which is a hybrid of the spearmint and watermint plants and is native to Europe and North America. It is one of the most widely used essential oils, due to the potent yet pleasant taste and aroma that it can offer.
It is included in topical ointments such as beard oils, as it can refresh and invigorate the skin, increase blood flow, particularly to the skin and hair follicles, promote hair growth, and prevent hair loss. It is then said to offer a number of additional health benefits for both the mind and body.
Most of these can be achieved either by ingesting it, inhaling it, or rubbing it on your skin. They include treating headaches, muscle soreness, joint pain, itching, coughs, and colds, reducing stress, pain, and inflammation, improving mental functions and insulin sensitivity, and soothing burns (4).
Lavender Oil - Lavender oil is an essential oil that is made from a plant of the same name which is native to Europe and parts of Africa and Asia. It is one of the most widely used essential oils on Earth, as it is linked to more health benefits than any other, due to its potent antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties.
In a topical product like a beard oil, it can soothe the skin, reduce or treat inflammation, prevent damage to the skin, beard hair or follicles, and use its microbial qualities to combat bacteria that could harm the beard, all while making your beard or skin smell extremely fresh and pleasant.
Other known benefits of lavender oil include its ability to treat acne, eczema and dry skin, prevent wrinkles or blotchy skin, aid wound healing, repel insects, reduce stress and anxiety, and boost sleep quality. There are even claims that it can be used to help reverse antibiotic resistance as well (5).
Thyme Oil - Thyme oil is extracted from the herb of the same name that is native to the Mediterranean region of Europe. A common ingredient in traditional medicines for centuries, it is said to help treat upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, parasitic infections, dermatitis, sprains, bruises and more.
When it comes to products like beard oils, thyme oil is primarily included for its antimicrobial properties and the presence of a substance called thymol. These will help it to promote beard and hair growth, reduce hair loss, and keep the beard hair and follicles clean and healthy at all times.
Other benefits linked to either ingesting thyme oil or rubbing it on the skin include a reduction in the symptoms of acne, the ability to reduce the size of tumours, a decrease in the risk of heart disease, and better oral health. It can also effectively be used to preserve foods and supplements as well (6).
