Beards with a Purpose: How We're Cleaning Oceans This Plastic Free July

When you think of beard care, you might picture natural oils, rugged scents, and silky-smooth results. But at Bearded Coast, it’s about more than just good grooming—it’s about honoring the Earth while caring for your beard. This July, we’re turning that commitment into action.

As proud participants in Plastic Free July, we’ve increased our partnership with 4ocean, an award-winning organization cleaning up plastic waste from oceans and coastlines around the globe. For every order placed this month, we’re removing one pound of plastic from our oceans and shorelines.

Because when your grooming routine respects the planet, it just feels better.

Why Plastic Free July Matters to Us

Plastic Free July isn’t just a social media trend—it’s a global movement that challenges individuals and brands to rethink their relationship with single-use plastics. For us, it's a natural fit. We’ve built Bearded Coast on the backbone of sustainability, community, and craftsmanship, and that includes:

• Eco-conscious packaging (think glass over plastic and recyclable materials)

• Plastic-free shipping materials

• Small-batch, low-waste production

We’ve always believed in doing more with less—and doing it better.

Our Partnership with 4ocean: Every Beard, One Pound Less Plastic

We’ve teamed up with 4ocean, a global ocean cleanup organization that’s pulled over 30 million pounds of plastic from waterways. Their model is simple: fund cleanups directly through product sales and partnerships. And now, that includes us.

So when you pick up a jar of Bearded Coast Beard Butter or a bottle of our Beard Oil, you're not just treating your beard—you’re helping clean up coastlines and support fair-wage cleanup crews in places like Indonesia and Haiti.

Sustainable Grooming Starts Here

Our customers are part of this movement too. Every time you reach for a Bearded Coast product, you’re choosing:

• Beard Wash that’s vegan, pH-balanced, and free from harsh chemicals.

• Beard Conditioner that softens with biotin, murumuru butter, and botanical extracts—never silicone or sulfates.

• Beard Butter that melts into your beard with a rich mix of mango, shea, cocoa, and kokum butters.

And this month, that same choice helps remove one pound of ocean plastic—every single time.
