Beard Bastion: Midwinter Cinder Elixir

Scent Profile: Birch Tar • Spruce • Bourbon • Oakmoss

Lore:
At the heart of the longest night, when frost stills the world and silence cloaks the land, only the embers endure. Midwinter Cinder is the fire that refuses to die — the slow-burning glow that holds back the cold and keeps the spirit alive until dawn.

This Elixir embodies the solstice hearth: the crackle of resinous woodsmoke, the whisper of pine boughs, and the deep stillness of winter nights broken only by the warmth of flame. Birch tar anchors the blend with smoky resilience, spruce adds sharp evergreen clarity, and bourbon drifts in like aged fire in a glass, softened by the shadow of oakmoss.

Midwinter Cinder is not just a scent — it is a ward against the dark, a ritual of endurance, and a reminder that even in the coldest season, the ember of strength still glows within.

The Ritual:

• Birch tar — the cornerstone, smoky and steadfast as the hearthfire.
• Spruce — evergreen sharpness, cutting through winter’s silence.
• Bourbon — a warming ember, mellow and spirited.
• Oakmoss — grounding shadow, a whisper of the ancient forest.

Ingredients:
Castor Oil, Sunflower Oil, Jojoba Oil, Argan Oil, Essential Oils and Fragrance Oils of Birch Tar, Spruce, Bourbon, and Oakmoss, Vitamin E.

How to Use:
Warm a few drops between your palms and work through beard from roots to ends. Best applied after cleansing or showering to seal in hydration and carry the ember-scent through the day.

“When the world is frozen, carry the ember. Endure. Illuminate. Prevail.”
