Oars + Alps Clay Hair Pomade — 2 oz Matte Finish, Medium Hold, Biotin & Kaolin for Texture

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

This clay pomade blends mineral clays and targeted vitamins to style without shine, tame frizz, and help hair look stronger and more resilient. Lightweight oils and vitamin B-complex ingredients hydrate and coat the hair shaft to improve manageability, while kaolin and bentonite clays absorb excess oil for a natural, textured finish. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free and free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates and gluten, with a subtle sandalwood and amber scent for a refined, everyday aroma.

How will this clay pomade change my daily styling routine?

Use it to create textured, flexible styles that last through the day without stiffness or shine. It works well on short to medium lengths, allowing reworkability and light restyling without reapplying product. The matte effect makes hair appear thicker and less oily.

• Medium, reworkable hold for textured looks
• Matte finish avoids greasy or glossy appearance
• Absorbs oil to extend time between washes

What ingredients help hair health and what do they do?

The formula pairs vitamins B7 (biotin) and B5 (panthenol) with botanical oils and clays to support stronger-looking strands and improved texture. Biotin supports keratin-related structure, panthenol retains moisture and smooths the hair cuticle, and jojoba and castor oils reduce breakage and tame flyaways. Kaolin and bentonite clays condition and remove excess sebum for a balanced scalp feel.

• Biotin (B7): supports keratin-related strength and appearance
• Panthenol (B5): locks in moisture and improves texture
• Jojoba & castor oils: moisturize and prevent breakage
• Kaolin & bentonite: absorb oil and condition strands

How do I apply the pomade for best results?

Work a small amount between dry or slightly damp palms until evenly warmed, then distribute through hair starting at the roots for separation or at the ends for texture. Build product gradually—start light and add more only where needed to avoid heaviness. Finish by tousling with fingers or using a comb for more defined shapes.

• Start with a pea-sized amount; increase for thicker hair
• Warm in hands first to soften texture
• Apply from roots for lift or ends for piecey texture
• Rework during the day—product stays pliable

Will this suit sensitive scalps or colored hair?

The formulation omits parabens, phthalates, sulfates and gluten, and uses lightweight oils and mineral clays that are generally gentle on hair. Because reactions vary, test a small skin area first if you have a known sensitivity. For color-treated hair, rinse thoroughly during washing to avoid potential buildup over time.

• Free from common harsh additives
• Mineral clays help avoid heavy product residue
• Patch-test recommended for sensitive skin

Who is this for? Oars + Alps Clay Hair Pomade is designed for men seeking a natural-looking, matte textured style with medium hold—ideal for short to medium hair lengths, those who want to reduce shine and oiliness, and anyone looking to add volume and definition while using ingredients that target hair strength and moisture retention.
