About Scotch Porter

Scotch Porter¹ is a US-based personal care brand dedicated to providing men with effective, safe and affordable products to enhance their manscaping experience. Scotch Porter was founded by a former barber and offers products for beard, hair and skin.

In this Scotch Porter review, we’ll look at all three product lines, their prices and customer opinions to help you decide if Scotch Porter is a good buy for you.

Overview of Scotch Porter

Scotch Porter was founded in 2015 under the management of Calvin Quallis. Previously, Quallis had left a corporate job to open a barbershop, following in his mother’s footsteps. Naturally, Quallis heard a lot from his customers about their problems with their hair, beards and the infamous razor burn.

To alleviate these problems, Quallis began experimenting with homemade solutions in his kitchen. He was careful to use only safe, non-toxic ingredients, and from these experiments, Scotch Porter was born. As far as the origin story goes, it’s as wholesome as it gets.

The Scotch Porter personal care collection has evolved to include hair, beard and skin care product lines that are distributed worldwide. Scotch Porter grooming products can be found in leading department stores such as Target and Walmart. Scotch Porter has not strayed far from its origins and continues to manufacture its products in the United States.

Scotch Porter is proud of its 100% black workforce and its leadership team, 45% of whom are women. We give the brand major points for being progressive, promoting Black representation in the workforce and standing up against sexism. Black Lives Matter and feminism are STRONG.

Scotch Porter has expanded its range of grooming products to include men’s health. In their blog (or journal, as they call it) and on Instagram, they encourage men to look after their mental health as well as their physical appearance. Scotch Porter has also supported the #DaretoCare campaign, which addresses the issues of toxic masculinity. Hats off to Scotch Porter for being progressive once again.

• Superior Hair Collection: $60, savings of $19
• Face Care Collection: $29, savings of $6

Scotch Porter Beard Review

Each of Scotch Porter’s collections has its own unique fragrance profile that is difficult to describe in Scotch Porter words. The Beard Collection has a masculine yet floral blend of clove, with subtle notes of sandalwood, powdery musk and spicy undertones.

In this Scotch Porter review, we imagine a garden in front of a chalet somewhere in Europe, in a valley between two mountains, or at least large hills. But we are ready to hear other interpretations.

The aim of the Beard Collection is to moisturize and soften the beard while promoting healthy hair and thicker growth. To achieve this, it relies on key ingredients: biotin liposomes, burdock root, white willow bark and nettle leaf.

If you’re wondering what all these ingredients do, don’t worry, you’ll find it in this Scotch Porter review: In a nutshell, biotin strengthens hair, burdock strengthens roots and soothes itchiness, white willow reduces dandruff and dry skin, while nettle leaves are full of vitamins that make hair shinier and healthier.

The Beard Collection contains four products:

• Beard Wash: individually $19 for 8 oz.
• Beard Conditioner: $19 for 7.1 oz.
• Beard Balm: $15
• Beard Serum: $20

First comes the wash, then the conditioner. If you’re wondering, how often should I use Scotch Porter Beard Conditioner? It is recommended to use the conditioner up to three times a week. The balm and serum are a little less rigid, more as needed, but Scotch Porter recommends using them after shampooing and conditioner.

Each product in the Scotch Porter beard care kit, with the exception of the serum, contains at least one of the four key ingredients we’ve already looked at, plus others such as shea butter and aloe vera. The beard serum relies on avocado seed oil and jojoba seed oil to deliver moisture and nutrients.

The brand has a consistent look for its products, and this Scotch Porter review would like to say that it is calm, simple, yet stylish with its navy blue bottles, white caps, and labels that are a consistent color with each set. The gold lettering adds an elegant touch. Complicated and stylish. It works.

Scotch Porter Hair Review

Scotch Porter’s Hair Collection has a fragrance profile with the cooling sophistication of natural herbal notes such as lavender and bergamot, paired with cardamom and soft amber woods. It sounds like one of those fantasy forests from animated films where everything glistens in the sunlight. Perhaps Scotch Porter has found it in real life.

The hair collection is advertised as suitable for all hair types to keep scalp and hair healthy, moisturized and non-greasy. Scotch Porter draws on white willow bark to reduce dandruff and protect hair overall. In addition, kale protein is often used to moisturize hair and keep it looking healthy.

Scotch Porter’s hair collection includes five products:

• Hydrating Hair Wash: $12
• Nourish & Repair Conditioner: $12
• Moisturizing Leave-In Conditioner: $12
• Smoothing Hair Balm: $15
• Smoothing & Shining Hair Serum: $20

Scotch Porter Skin Care Review

The Scotch Porter’s Face Care Collection fragrance is described as natural West Coast citrus notes infused into a sultry spice fusion of Vetiver (Bourbon) on a rich blend of exotic wood resins such as Palo Santo Wood and Alaskan Cedar. An upscale weekend in a country house? This Scotch Porter review thinks so.

Scotch Porter promotes the facial care collection as a comprehensive line that leaves skin smoother and clearer. White willow bark confirms its status as a jack-of-all-trades with another appearance among the key ingredients in the facial care collection. Together with pomegranate enzymes and turmeric root, it exfoliates and protects against skin impurities.

The Scotch Porter face care collection consists of three products:

• Restoring Face Wash: $11
• Exfoliating Face Scrub: $12
• Moisture Defend Face Lotion: $12

Scotch Porter Reviews: What Do Customers Think?

Reviews on the Scotch Porter website and at Target and Walmart are generally quite positive. Customers find that Scotch Porter’s beard, hair and skin products boost confidence and provide aesthetically pleasing results. They do what they are advertised to do.

If you’re asking yourself the big question: Will Scotch Porter make your beard grow? Some reviewers have reported that they have experienced significantly fuller beard growth when using Scotch Porter beard care products. Scotch Porter fragrances are also generally praised.

Reviews suggesting ineffectiveness are rare, but when they do appear, they are usually from people with dry hair. There are still many who say that Scotch Porter has helped with dry hair, but perhaps a word of caution is in order, especially as the brand is priced slightly above average in the grooming market.

This Scotch Porter review gives a word of warning for Amazon deliveries. Scotch Porter does not advertise that they sell through Amazon, but there are some products available there. These have proportionately more negative reviews than elsewhere (although they are still positive overall), and the negative reviews tend to be recent. It has been questioned whether or not the Amazon products are actually Scotch Porter products.

Some reviewers who have previously used Scotch Porter say that the products they are receiving from Amazon are not comparable to those they have previously used, and it appears that the seal has been broken. If this scares you, you’re not alone! This Scotch Porter review recommends buying only from the brand or from verified sellers.

Is Scotch Porter Worth It?

All in all, Scotch Porter seems like a good investment if you want a little more from your beard, hair or skin care. It’s a little more expensive than other grooming products, but it’s cheaper than the high-end options and seems to have a high-quality effect.

Scotch Porter has a 60-day return policy, so it’s a relatively low-risk purchase. We’ll cover this in the FAQ section of the Scotch Porter review.
