Homemade beard oil?

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting in this particular forum so hello all :)

My husband has been growing a beard and would like some 'beard oil' for Christmas.
I was thinking of trying to make him some as this would be much more personal. I have no idea where to start though! Thinking some nice essential oils with a carrier etc to make it lovely and natural and also delicious smelling!

I've never done any aromatherapy stuff so have no idea on proportions, blends, where to get the empty bottles and so-on so any pointers would be much appreciated.

My husband has skin the has a tendency to dryness and sometimes sensitive too. He likes quite 'woody' fragrances (not flowery or fruity).

Thanks all :)
Claira
