About Beards Australia

Hi, I’m Denise Langtip, the founder of Beards Australia. This journey started when my husband decided to grow a beard. Like any supportive wife, I headed to the supermarket to find him some beard oil and beard wash. But as I picked up the bottles and started reading the labels, I was shocked.

The ingredients sounded more like a chemistry experiment than something you’d want on your skin. It reminded me of the 1970s—yes, I’ve been around a while—and how many products we once thought were safe were later banned due to links to cancer and other health issues.

So, I did what any curious (and slightly suspicious) person would do: I turned to Google. One ingredient kept popping up—Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and its close cousin Sodium Laureth Sulfate. These harsh chemicals are found not just in shampoo and beard wash, but in everything from toothpaste and makeup remover to laundry detergent and even engine degreaser. Yikes.

Why are they so common? Because they make products foam.

But here’s the problem: SLS can irritate your skin, strip your hair and beard of natural oils, cause frizz and dryness, and even contribute to conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and hair loss. It’s no surprise SLS is banned in the EU, yet it’s still widely used in Australia.

Take a moment – to check the labels in your own bathroom. You might be surprised by what you find.

That’s why I created Beards Australia. Our mission is simple: to offer truly natural grooming products you can trust. Our Beard Wash Shampoo is made from only a few gentle ingredients:

  • Filtered rainwater

  • Potassium soap from coconut, sunflower, and castor oils

  • Retained glycerine

  • A light, fresh fragrance from essential oils

That’s it. No harsh chemicals. No unnecessary additives. Just a clean, natural product that works—safe for your beard, your skin, and your family.

We’re proud to stand behind our formulas. If you’re not satisfied, we offer a money-back guarantee.
