Handcrafted from the Heart: The Story Behind Topher’s

It All Started With a Beard.

🔹 From Personal Need to Premium Beard Care

I’ve always had facial hair—from scruff and goatees to soul patches and the Zappa. But in 2014, my wife Tania convinced me to grow a full beard. I loved the look but wasn’t a fan of the itchy skin and flakes beneath.

After trying store-bought beard oils, I knew there had to be a better solution—something less greasy, more effective, and better scented. With inspiration from our daughter-in-law’s homemade toiletries, I began experimenting, researching oils and blends, until I perfected my first formula. My beard was finally soft, healthy, and comfortable. Friends tried it, loved it, and spread the word. Just like that, Topher’s Beard Company was born.


🔹 Growth & Grooming Innovation

As my beard grew longer, so did our product line. Beard balm came next for better control and shaping, followed soon by handcrafted soaps and beard wash & conditioners. By 2015, what began as a side hobby quickly became our passion and purpose.

We ventured into retail, partnering with barbershops, salons, and boutiques across North America. Demand surged, prompting Tania and me to dedicate ourselves full-time to creating exceptional self-care products.


🔹 Expanding Beyond Beard Care

Our customers inspired us to expand further. Bath bombs, bubble bars, Dead Sea bath salts, shower steamers, body butters, and sugar scrubs became customer favorites. We also introduced wet shaving gear and shaving pucks, catering to men without beards.

In 2017, we launched Beaver Butter, a soothing aftershave cream for women. It quickly rose to the top of Amazon's best sellers for women's shaving products. Shortly after, our Manscape Butter was introduced, offering men their own specialized aftercare.


🔹 Commitment to Quality & Sustainability

We remain committed to small-batch craftsmanship, sustainable ingredients, and eco-friendly packaging. Our line continues to grow, including new products like pomades, magnesium sprays, lotions, and sea salt sprays.

Today, Topher’s Beard & Soap Co. is proudly Canadian, passionately handcrafted, and still dedicated to creating premium, effective self-care products loved worldwide.
