FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

There's no wrong answer here. If you're picking one product, start with the Defense Moisturizer SPF 30. Sunscreen is the single highest-impact thing you can do for your skin, and this one doubles as a moisturizer, so you're covering two bases with one step.

If you want all three, they work together: Ritual Body Wash in the shower, Core Beard Oil after (if you have a beard), and Defense Moisturizer as the last step before you head out.

The Full Line is all three products for $94. Same products, same sizes. It's the simplest way to get everything in one order.

We formulated specifically for men's skin biology, which tends to be thicker, oilier, and has different hydration needs. That said, the ingredients work on all skin types. If the products appeal to you, they'll work for you.

Yes, completely. No essential oils, no fragrance additives, no masking agents. The body wash has a cedarwood and bergamot scent from natural essential oils, and the beard oil has a cedarwood scent. The moisturizer has nothing.

Absolutely. The oil is really about the skin underneath, not just the hair on top. If you have any facial hair at all, even a few days of growth, the skin there is getting less air and moisture than the rest of your face. A couple of drops will keep it calm and hydrated. Use less than you would with a longer beard. Two to three drops is plenty.

It's sulfate-free and gentle enough that it won't damage your skin the way a typical body wash would, but we designed it for the body. Facial skin is thinner and more sensitive. For your face, a dedicated cleanser is a better call. We're working on one.

Full ingredient lists are available on each product page and on our Ingredients page. We list everything. No proprietary blends, no hidden ingredients.

No. FORGE products are cruelty-free. We don't test on animals and we don't work with suppliers who do.

No sulfates, no parabens, no synthetic dyes, and no phthalates in any of our products. The moisturizer is also completely fragrance-free. When we leave something out, it's because the formula is better without it.

Our formulas don't contain animal-derived ingredients. If you have specific concerns about a particular ingredient, email us at care@forgehim.com and we'll give you the sourcing details.

Our products are formulated without common irritants like sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. The moisturizer is fragrance-free, which makes it the safest bet for reactive skin. The body wash and beard oil contain natural essential oils for scent, which most people tolerate well but can occasionally cause sensitivity. If you're unsure, start with the moisturizer and see how your skin responds.

If you have a diagnosed skin condition, it's worth running any new product by your dermatologist first. We can send them our full ingredient lists if that helps.

In the shower, use Ritual Body Wash on your body. After toweling off, apply Core Beard Oil to your beard and the skin underneath (if applicable). Then apply Defense Moisturizer SPF 30 to your face and neck as the last step before heading out. The moisturizer goes last because SPF needs to be the outermost layer to work properly.

With daily use, you can expect roughly the following:

• Ritual Body Wash (16 oz): about 6 to 8 weeks.
• Core Beard Oil (1 oz): about 8 to 12 weeks, depending on beard length.
• Defense Moisturizer SPF 30 (1.7 oz): about 6 to 8 weeks with daily facial application.

For regular daily activity, one morning application is fine. If you're spending extended time in the sun, reapply every two hours. The SPF is water resistant for 40 minutes, so after a hard workout or swimming, reapply after toweling off.

Yes. If you already have products you like, ours work alongside them. The only thing to keep in mind is that SPF should always be the last step in your routine. Anything applied over it dilutes the sun protection.
