What is Blackbeard for Men?
Blackbeard for Men is patented, water-resistant brush-on hair color specially designed for men’s facial hair. It is NOT a dye! It can be used on its own to touch up gray patches in your beard, mustache, sideburns and eyebrows, or even to touch up your roots if you use a dye and don’t want to deal with the enormous hassle of re-applying the dye. Arr!
Is Blackbeard for Men safe to use?
Blackbeard for Men is hypoallergenic and non-toxic when used as directed. It was developed with a leading manufacturer of hair care and cosmetics products. The formulation uses only the finest approved and well-established colorants used safely for decades in other products around the world.
Blackbeard for Men has been independently safety tested by TUV Rheinland Laboratories, who pronounced Blackbeard for Men “safe when used as intended and under circumstances involving reasonable foreseeable misuse according to U.S. Federal Hazardous Substance Act (FHSA) Regulations and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Regulations for Cosmetic Products.” As well, it has been tested and certified 100% mercury-free.
Blackbeard for Men is not a dye, so it is ideal for people who are sensitive to the harsh chemicals in dyes. Most people who are unable to use dyes are able to use Blackbeard for Men.
However, some people do have skin allergies or certain sensitivities. If you experience any discomfort or symptoms such as skin rash, itching or dry skin, discontinue use of Blackbeard for Men immediately and consult a physician.
We recommend all customers do a skin test before using Blackbeard for Men. Put a small dot of product on your arm 24 hours in advance of ap-plying to your face, especially if you have known allergies or skin sensitivities.
Will Blackbeard for Men rub off?
We’ve designed Blackbeard for Men Formula X to be resistant to smudging, so you can wipe your mouth with a napkin while eating and not worry about wiping away all the product. That said, a certain amount of Blackbeard for Men will fade or could wipe off with aggressive rubbing or face-washing.
Blackbeard for Men is not permanent color like dye and does begin to fade after appx. 8 hours wear (or more.) It may be wise to carry a bottle around for touch-ups as needed, just in case. Certain activities produce more wear and tear on the product. For example, surfing – after being out in the sun and salt water for a few hours, your Blackbeard for Men will have faded a bit (but will still look natural.)
Note that Blackbeard for Men may stain some fabrics. Wash with soap and cold water. Wash it off completely in the shower or else some residue may rub off on your towel after a shower. And wash it off before bed if you use light-colored sheets.
Will my friends know I'm using Blackbeard for Men?
No. When applied properly,Blackbeard for Men looks absolutely natural. Some friends may not even realize how your appearance has changed. They may stare at you for a while trying to figure out what’s up, but may not even be able to put their finger on the difference!

How long does Blackbeard for Men last when applied?
Blackbeard for Men Formula X has a special long-lasting, water-resistant formula that lasts 8 hours or more with average use. Many of our customers simply put it on in the morning and forget about it. Typically you’ll still have about 50% coverage even the next morning.
While it is durable and water resistant, Blackbeard for Men is not a dye. It does fade over time and with wear and tear, face washing, etc., so consider having some on hand if you’re going to be out of the house for a while. We designed the bottles to be small and have smooth, rounded edges so as to be easily carry-able in a pocket.
How does Blackbeard for Men differ from the leading men’s facial hair color product?
In several key ways:
- Blackbeard for Men is not a dye. It is a patented brush-on topical colorant. As such, it is less likely to cause an adverse reaction than some dyes, which often use harsh chemicals.
- Blackbeard for Men goes on instantly. Unlike the leading men’s facial hair color product, Blackbeard for Men brushes on in seconds and you’re ready to go. Dries quickly, too! Using the leading men’s facial hair color product is a time-consuming, annoying process.
- Blackbeard for Men has no harsh chemical odor. The leading men’s facial hair color product has a bleach component which smells awful, and worse, you must tolerate it for several minutes. With that product you are in fact dyeing your facial hair. Blackbeard for Men is not a dye, but rather, it is a topical colorant.
- Blackbeard for Men fills gaps. It doesn’t just color the existing hair – it can color skin, too. This can be very helpful for those of us whose facial growth is a bit more spotty. Finally you can have that full beard or mustache look!
- Blackbeard for Men is more economical. The leading men’s facial hair color product gives you three applications per box. The gray hair never stops growing, which means the gray will be visible again after only a day or two! Within just a few days the colored facial hair will have grown out enough so that you have obvious gray roots. Blah! You would have to buy a ton of the stuff and apply it every other day. That would cost you a fortune and take a ridiculous amount of time. With average use, each bottle of Blackbeard for Men lasts about a month.
- You don’t have to lose ALL the gray! Unlike the leading men’s facial hair color product, Blackbeard for Men is not a dye or bleach and isn’t “all or nothing.” You apply it to where YOU want to apply it. If you want to leave a little bit of gray for a more natural look, go for it! See our TIPS page for helpful hints on how to do this.

What are the benefits of using Blackbeard for Men
- Look younger instantly! Users of Blackbeard for Men report chopping a decade or more off their appearance in seconds. Check out our before and after pix and see for yourself!
- Self-confidence. Proceed boldly, knowing that the world perceives you as younger and more dynamic. You only live once. Make the most of it! With Blackbeard for Men, you’ll know that the world perceives you differently – better, stronger, faster.
- Be more attractive. Why does having a thicker, fuller grayless beard make you more attractive? Because we perceive “greybeards” as old, and old equals tired and simply less desirable than new. Maybe it’s a psychological trick, but Blackbeard for Men users do consistently report being perceived as “more attractive.”
- More opportunities for employment/advancement. Unfortunately, ageism is very real. In many fields, youth is valued while age and experience are treated with derision. If you’re looking for a job and you have a gray mustache or beard, unless you’re at the executive level, the deck is heavily stacked against you. Blackbeard for Men helps you even up the odds.

It is also resistant, but not impervious, to rub-off. In other words, if you blow your nose with a tissue or wipe your face with a napkin, it should hold pretty well. But if you wipe hard, it will come off.

Is Blackbeard for Men good for stubble beards?
Aye! Recommend wiping off most of the product on the lip of the bottle and then apply using the side of the brush, very lightly. Then use a tissue or beard brush to tamp the color down and blend as necessary to create an overall stubble look that also fills gaps.

Seaspray FAQ
What is Seaspray?
Seaspray is a proprietary caffeinated hair/scalp tonic formula created by Blackbeard for Men for daily use, meant to help promote blood flow to the scalp and to fight DHT, one of the causes of male pattern baldness and alopecia.
Will Seaspray regrow hair?
Seaspray by itself may or may not help to regrow hair directly, but its formulation has been shown to fight DHT, a known factor in hair loss. The other key ingredients in the Seaspray each have a role in fighting key factors related to hair loss, alopecia, and male pattern baldness. Depending on the individual and how far their hair loss has progressed, Seaspray may help hair follicles that are being choked off to thrive again. Seaspray is, in particular, a valuable tool to help keep the hair you have left and prevent further hair loss.
What are the ingredients?
Water, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Biotin, Calcium Pantothenate, Panthenol, Arginine, Lactic Acid, Wheat Amino Acids, Soy Amino Acids, Arginine HCI, Caffeine, Serine, Threonine, Ubiquinone, Squalane, Tocopheryl Acetate, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Tripeptide-10 Citrulline, Tripeptide-1, Lecithin, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Polysorbate 80, Tetrasodium EDTA, Polygonum Multiflorum Root Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Germ Extract, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract, Curcuma Longa (turmeric) Root Oil, Panax Ginseng Root Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance, CI 19140
Does Seaspray have Minoxidil?
No. Seaspray is designed to work in tandem with your minoxidil spray or by itself, but the product does not contain minoxidil (better known under the brand name "Rogaine.")
Research has shown that Seaspray's formula is as effective as minoxidil on its own.* Or used with your minoxidil spray as a 1-2 punch, Seaspray + minoxidil is shown to be more effective than minoxidil by itself. That is because there is a synergistic effect between the caffeine formulation and the action of the minoxidil.
*Please click here to view the research.
Do I need to rub Seaspray in?
No, but it may help its effectiveness to do so. We recommend gently massaging the Seaspray into your scalp for 20-30 seconds, concentrating on the vertex (the rear/top area where bald spots form) and the hairline.
Minoxidil only works on the vertex, they say, what about Seaspray?
Seaspray's hair energizer formula works on the entire scalp.
Is Seaspray sticky like regular hair spray? Can i use it to style my hair?
Seaspray is not a styling spray, it is a scalp/hair recharger spray. So it doesn't have the aggressive "hold" of traditional hair sprays, because that's not what it is designed for. However, Seaspray does have a very subtle "hold" effect meant to help increase hair volume and texture. With many men, Seaspray may be all the product they need. Others may wish to continue to use their favorite gel or product. Once Seaspray dries, comb/brush it through and your hair should have more shape, hold, and volume than without using Seaspray.
Is Seapsray gentle enough to use every day?
Seaspray's formulation is gentle and made from natural ingredients. That said, individuals with known skin sensitivities, allergies or concerns should consult their doctor before using Seaspray. Always do a skin test before using any product that goes onto the skin. As well, athletes should be aware that the caffeine content in Seaspray could potentially show up in a blood screening.
Is Seaspray scented?
Seaspray has a very subtle, masculine scent. We designed it to be pleasant but not overpowering, and not to conflict with any other scents you may use such as cologne or aftershave.
Do i use Seaspray everyday?
Seaspray is a daily-use product. 5-7 spritzes a day when you comb your hair should do the trick. If you really want to load up, you can indeed do twice a day. We don't have research showing if using Seaspray twice a day is any more effective than once a day however.
Seasoap FAQ
What is Seasoap?
Seasoap is a proprietary bar soap formulation created by Blackbeard for Men. It has been designed to help create an awesome shower/bathing experience, to help moisturize the skin, as well as to be a good value.
Seasoap is made with a unique formulation of moisturizers and anti-aging ingredients designed to work in concert to help give your skin a chance to fight back against the ravages of time and environment. We recommend using Seasoap every day as part of your healthy skin care routine.
What are the anti-aging effects of Seasoap?
A unique combination of moisturizers and vitamins give Seasoap its special properties to firm and strengthen your skin. Seasoap's key ingredients include:
- Collagen - helps restore skin hydration, firmness and elasticity
- Vitamin E - key antioxidant that protects the skin and restores resilience
- Sea Kelp - helps to soothe rough and fragile skin
- Jojoba Oil - anti-inflammatory moisturizer and skin barrier
- Hemp Seed Oil - loaded with unsaturated fatty acids, eliminates dryness and may reduce the visible effects of aging
- Cucumber Extract - soothing antioxidant which moisturizes and nourishes the skin and may reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles
*Please click here for more info and research on these ingredients and their properties in Seasoap.
Is Seasoap gentle enough to use every day?
Absolutely! In fact, We recommend leaving the Seasoap lather on your face and body for 30-60 seconds (or more) before rinsing to maximize its effects.
That said, everyone is different, and individuals with known skin sensitivities, allergies or concerns should consult their doctor before using Seasoap or any product that touches the skin. Always do a skin test before using any product that goes onto the skin.
How does Seasoap compare to other premium men's soaps?
First let's talk size. Most soap you buy at the store will be 3-4 ounces. The leading premium men's soap (you know, the guys advertising all over YouTube) clock in at 5 ounces. Seasoap is a mighty, long-lasting 6.17-ounce bar.
Secondly, no other men's soap that we are aware of has similar moisturing/antiaging properties that Seasoap has. So while of course there are some great men's bar soap products out there, none of them have the same skin benefits and properties as Seasoap.
Thirdly, we wanted the Seasoap experience to be almost a mini-vacation. The soap itself both looks like the sea - with it's unique blue and white swirls (no two bars are the same!) but the design of the bar itself with the wave imprint, combined with its refreshing, fresh ocean breeze scent, act in concert to transport you to a lovely sea cove for a few minutes of serenity.
Finally, many specialty/luxury men's soaps we have tried stink. Literally. In other words, they have a STRONG smell. Some manufacturers think that men want to gag on their overpowering "masculine" fragrance. Seasoap however has a subtle yet bracing fragrance evocative of the sea itself. It is not overpowering and should not clash with any other cologne or aftershave you may use. We worked very hard to get the scent right, and we know you will love it.
