I would suggest a real beard oil. I bought mine from Texas Beard Co. Beard oils consist of Carrier Oils and Essential Oils. the carrier oils are the healthy part. Avocado, Jojoba, Argan, etc. these usually are high in vitamin E. usually a mix of 2 oils. the "essential" oils are what gives it the scent. there are WAY to many to list! just search beard oils and you will get a LOT of hits for places.
a little bit goes a long way. 4-6 drops for shorter beards and work it through and you are good. I use a beard Balm in the morning and oil at night after shower. balm is same concept but more...waxy? it conditions and works for styling and keeping stray hairs a bit under control.
hope this helps. once you try a few oils you can order online or pick up around town the ingredients yourself and make your own!
