SUBMITTED Men can appreciate simple, natural grooming products, too.
But Homegrown Arkansas is all about Arkansas and this product evolved from an Arkansas couple.
Jason Sumner and Jacob Gould own and design T-shirts for Homegrown Arkansas, a small batch clothing and apparel company that produces shirts that represent Arkansas culture.
Two years ago Jessica Sumner, Jason’s wife, started making beard oil for her husband with natural ingredients.
“Men with big beards, sometimes you get dry skin under them in the winter time," said Jason. "I myself
sport a big beard and I needed something to keep it moist and tame. She uses an organic almond oil as the base and then vitamin E oil. People started asking me about it and we thought maybe people would buy it,” Jason said.
So they started packaging the oil and added it to their product line. Jessica changes the scents with the seasons and makes them out of their house.
While it’s a tiny part of the product line, it’s been a nice addition, he said.
