Brothers Artisan Oil is a family-owned natural personal care company founded in 2014 by husband and wife team Owen and Marie Shea, along with Owen's brother Baxter. The company started behind a bar in Massachusetts when Owen, expecting his first child, began growing a beard but couldn't find grooming products with clean ingredients and gentle scents that wouldn't trigger Marie's pregnancy sensitivities. As experienced bartenders with a talent for mixing botanicals, Owen and Baxter created their first beard oil prototype during a slow bar shift and began sharing samples with customers. When people started returning specifically for the oils, the family knew they had something special and officially launched the website the same week their daughter Nova was born. The brand quickly gained recognition, being scouted by Birchbox and earning awards from GQ and Esquire for their beard oil.
While Brothers Artisan Oil originally focused on beard care, the company has evolved into a truly natural apothecary offering handcrafted grooming and personal care products for all genders. Their product line includes beard oils, shave oils, pomades, balms, lotions, clay masks, body washes, room sprays, and their popular magnesium stick deodorant—which took over a year and a half of development to perfect. The brand is committed to using quality, clean ingredients without unnecessary marketing toward specific genders, believing that effective natural care should be accessible to everyone. Brothers Artisan Oil handcrafts all their products in America and maintains a strong commitment to transparency in ingredients and formulations. These products are manufactured by Brothers Artisan Oil and distributed through various retailers, including Lang Wellness.
