The Organic Base

Here is my review. Short, simple, and honest. I was using JFM for roughly 5-6 years and began experiencing exactly what has probably brought you here to this product, ie, facial rash and irritation. A nurse friend of mine warned me of recent cancer warnings linked to JFM. So, onward and forward...I have used Grizzly Dye three times to date. My first time was this base followed by the black dye. I have a black beard that is pretty damn grey as I have just turned 40. I first washed my face with natural face wash. Applied the base for roughly 25 minutes then washed off with the same natural face wash. I then applied the dye for about the same amount of time as the base. Washed off with same natural face wash. Now, here is the thing to remember. Don't judge this product after that last wash off. This stuff is true to its instructions. It really does "set" overnight. Your beard may be slightly off colored as it states...but look in the mirror every hour or so and watch it change!! This completely covers up my greys!! A great, all natural tool for my anti-aging toolbox!! Try this and I promise you will never look back!!

Gotta follow the instructions to the t and then some like leave it on longer till it’s completely dryI made a mistake and made it too watery and didn’t leave it on that long and still got pretty decent results

We found this product to be a great alternative to just for men. It did not blister my husband’s face and provided a good color and made is beard softIt does come with some cons though. My husband had to color his beard every 4 days, it completely lost its luster and the beard oils seemed to rid his beard of color. If he did not color as often the dark part of his beard turned magenta and gray had hints of green so it was kinda looking a little like Christmas.Unfortunately he had to stop using it. We did find that Just For Men creates a beard shampoo that does a great job (for now) coupled with using Clairol natural with no ammonia once a month does the trick.

Works as is. 30 minutes and done. Best color the next day. Ok the first day but slightly darker the next day. Was going to use brown over the top of this, but liked this color as is. Had terrible reactions to other dyes. This one just works and is gentle on the skin!

To get the best results, you’ll need to use the product a few times. For the best results, apply it once and then reapply a few days later. I have a black thick beard.

This product dose not color it stains the hair and skin GREEN!!!The product was to stain the hair dark brown.

Honestly, it didn't work all that well for me. On one hand I didn't have the permanent green beard experience that others had with this product (and yeah, it does turn your beard green for a bit, but it does oxidize and eventually fade out), but on the other it didn't work all that well for me. Full disclosure: I've got mild alopecia and when my facial hair comes back it comes back white. This product did not do a very good job of dying my beard AND it didn't last as long as others have said. But everyone's unique, so you can't just take what someone says and truth for everyone's experience. But this is mine, it didn't work well — it worked a tiny bit, but not enough to make any sort of real difference.

The organic base is part of a kit sold by the manufacturer. A while back I was a user of a standard beard dye on the market, you know, exclusively for males. After using the commercial product for years, I began to develop horrible allergic reactions ( weeping sores) and had to discontinue.Enter Grizzly, I have been a happy user for two years now and very satisfied. Initially, I had to "break-in" my beard to the product using the organic base- although each person is different-not everyone needs it ( The manufacturer instructions ask to try without it and use if you need assistance for "breaking in" your tough beard). The organic base helps provide a specific tone range and probably helps the absorbency of the beard and a small amount is given with the standard kit. Recently I found myself using the organic base consistently so I ordered a package of it separately. Give these folks a try. Your beard will look natural and you won't get "burned" by harsh chemicals. Comes in powdered form appears to be all natural vegetable and mineral pigment dyes. Instructions are clear and you can contact them for additional support ( I don't usually - still its nice to know the option is there)
