You’ve probably read or heard it before: the keyword is moustache wax—also known as beard pomade.
But what exactly is it? And why should every man with a proud beard consider adding it to his grooming kit? Beyond shaping, does it offer other benefits? The short answer: yes. From scent to care, beard wax brings more than just hold.
Let’s explore what moustache wax is, how to use it, and why it’s an essential part of beard care and styling.
What Does Moustache Wax Do?
Moustache wax helps you shape your beard or moustache, whether it’s twisting, smoothing, or holding unruly hairs in place. Application is simple: take a small amount depending on the length of your beard, warm it between your fingers (or briefly with a hairdryer), then massage it evenly into your facial hair. A beard brush makes distribution even smoother.
The Differences Between Types of Wax and Pomade
Bavarian Moustache Wax
This traditional wax is based on beeswax but includes gum arabic, which creates a stronger and faster hold. If you’re bold, extroverted, and enjoy sculpting your beard into striking, extravagant styles, Bavarian moustache wax is your tool of choice.
Hungarian Moustache Wax
Also made with beeswax but blended with Vaseline, this formula softens stubborn, coarse hairs. It offers flexibility instead of stiffness, making it ideal for men who want their beard to stay natural yet controlled, without rigid or extreme shapes.
Beard Pomade
Pomade is softer in texture than wax and serves as an everyday essential for beard care. Similar in consistency to Hungarian wax, beard pomade helps achieve a neat, polished look while maintaining softness. For men aiming for versatile daily styling, pomade is the go-to choice.
Charlemagne offers both options—our Beard Balm acts as a nourishing pomade substitute, while our Moustache Wax delivers reliable hold when you want precision and style.
The Fragrance Factor
Whether you choose wax, balm, or pomade, fragrance matters. You’ll be the first to smell it all day long, but those closest to you will notice too. A refined scent elevates grooming from functional to irresistible. That’s why Charlemagne Beard Balm and Moustache Wax are carefully crafted not only for performance but also with subtle, masculine fragrances that enhance your presence.
