Oars + Alps Clay Hair Pomade for Men — 2 oz, Medium Hold Matte Finish with Biotin & Jojoba

Oars + Alps Clay Hair Pomade is a 2 oz styling clay that delivers medium hold with a natural matte finish while conditioning hair with biotin, kaolin and jojoba oil.

This lightweight, clay-based pomade blends kaolin and bentonite clays to absorb excess oil and control frizz, while biotin (vitamin B7) and panthenol (vitamin B5) support the appearance of stronger, healthier hair. Jojoba and castor seed oils add moisture to prevent breakage and tame flyaways, and a subtle sandalwood-amber scent rounds out the experience. The formula is free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates and gluten, and is vegan and cruelty-free.

How will this pomade affect my daily styling routine?

Apply a small amount to dry or slightly damp hair to build texture and shape without shine. The medium hold gives flexible control that’s easy to restyle during the day, and the matte finish keeps looks natural rather than glossy.

• Use a pea-sized amount for light texture; add more for thicker hair.
• Warm between palms before applying for even distribution.
• Restyle by raking fingers through hair—no heavy residue.

Will this help control oil and frizz without weighing hair down?

Yes — kaolin clay absorbs surface oil while bentonite conditions strands to smooth frizz, delivering a balanced feel instead of a greasy coat. The result is controlled, matte styles that maintain movement and texture without stiffness.

• Kaolin reduces surface shine and oiliness.
• Bentonite adds slip for smoothing and easier application.
• Non-greasy finish suitable for daily use on most hair types.

Are the vitamins and oils in the formula actually beneficial?

Biotin (B7) and panthenol (B5) are included to support the look and resilience of hair by improving texture and helping retain moisture. Jojoba and castor seed oils supply lightweight conditioning to reduce breakage and tame flyaways without creating a heavy, oily feel.

• Biotin promotes the appearance of thicker, stronger hair strands.
• Panthenol helps lock in moisture and smooth the hair surface.
• Jojoba and castor oils help prevent split ends and add manageability.

How does the scent and ingredient safety compare to other styling clays?

The pomade has subtle sandalwood and amber notes—calm and masculine without overpowering colognes or daily fragrances. It avoids parabens, phthalates, sulfates and gluten, and is formulated vegan and cruelty-free for cleaner styling choices.

• Light sandalwood + amber fragrance for everyday wear.
• Free from common irritants like sulfates and parabens.
• Vegan formula and not tested on animals.

Who is this for: This clay pomade suits men looking for a versatile, matte styling product that balances hold with natural texture—ideal for fine to medium hair wanting added body, and for thicker hair needing frizz control without shine. It’s a good pick for those who prefer cleaner formulations and a subtle scent for daily use.
