The Story Behind the Beard Butter!
After the huge success of the launch of our Homestead Hands- Face & Body Butter which I created 7 years ago for our family’s daily use, I began to feel the Lord impress on my heart to seek Him to develop a blend of oils especially for men, along with a full men’s face and body care line. God made men in such an incredible way to be strong, lead, stay steady, provide, and operate as priests and spiritual heads of their home and family. Through chemicals, food, modern medicine, our enviroment, and even new sociatal norms, the awesome God given gifts in men have been muted. The Bible instructs us how to be covered with the armour of God, tearing down the kingdom of darkness, expanding the kingdom of God. Leah helped me, through hours of prayer, research and trial to come up with, what we believe to be, a blend that will help to boost the male endocrine system and to try to reset what has been damaged. Amazingly, we found that we love this beard butter too! I have been using it constantly since we created it and I would encourage females to give this blend a try as well! We hope you enjoy this oil as much as we do!
