Inspiration

Sterling is our homage to the rich and complex fragrance that is Tobacco, and we spent more than a year getting the formulas just right. The aromatic blend opens with warm and sweet Tobacco, which gives way to smooth Leather and is completed with notes of dark Amber and Vanilla. The resulting fragrance is assertive but not aggressive.

Sterling was named for Mount Sterling in the Western Mountains of North Carolina. While not easily accessible, the hike to the top of the abandoned fire tower on the mountain's peak is worth the effort. We think that like the climb, your experience with Sterling will be well worth the wait.

Five great uses

Hair Oil

Looking for healthy, moisturized hair with a deep natural shine? A few drops of Formula 5 spread evenly through towel-dry hair will knock down flyaways. The combination of oils and extracts will smooth each hair from the follicle to the tip, providing healthy moisture and nutrients.

Scalp moisturizer

As a culture, we often tend to clean ourselves more than is good for us. The result is often (among other things) a dry, itchy scalp resulting from removing too much of the natural oil from the surface of your skin. Our Formula 5 Oil helps replenish your healthy oils and protect against cold and dry weather that can also lead to scalp irritation. Because of its unique formula, it nourishes and soothes your scalp without leaving you with a greasy look.

Dry skin treatment

When your skin is seriously dry, put down the lotion, which is formulated for keeping healthy skin moisturized, and reach for something stronger. Formula 5 penetrates deep into the layers of the skin, helping to lock in moisture and keep other not-so-good elements out, such as dirt and pollution. Remember, just a little bit goes a long way, so start with a pea-sized amount of oil to help soothe and restore any problem dry spots.

shave oil

If you have sensitive skin, a good oil can make shaving all the easier by softening both your skin and your scruff. Additionally, the oil provides even more lubrication for your razor than using shave cream alone. The result is a smoother shave with less irritation. Formula 5 spreads on evenly, smells great and leaves your face feeling healthy and hydrated post-shave.

beard oil

One of the great paradoxes of men’s grooming lies in taking care of your beard. If you do a great job grooming it, no one will notice your work. That’s why we created Formula 5 Oil to make all of your beard grooming efforts look, well…effortless.

For us, that meant creating a beard oil that somehow wasn’t “oily.” Our blend of natural plant extracts and high-performance ingredients moisturizes and smooths each hair down to the follicle while helping to soothe your face underneath without feeling greasy or heavy.

A SUMMARY OF OUR INGREDIENTS

We know ingredient lists can be intimidating so we summarized ours for you.

Fine Fragrance

 It's what makes Fulton & Roark stand apart from the rest. Formulated with the highest quality combination of natural and fragrance ingredients, all of which conform to the highest quality standards of the fragrance industry (IFRA).

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant properties which helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. It also helps protect the hair by creating  a protective layer that protects it from breakage and loss of moisture.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Derived from coconut oil and glycerin, this helps give Formula 5 its luxurious texture, but it is mainly used to maintain the moisture of the skin and hair.

Murumuru Seed Butter

Extracted from the seeds of a Brazilian Palm, Murumuru Butter works as an emollient, helping lock in moisture in the skin.

Shea Butter

It has anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce scalp irritation. It is also packed with Vitamin A, E, and fatty acids. Fatty acids help increase shine and reduce frizz.

Lychee Fruit Extract

Rich in antioxidants, lychees also contain small amounts of copper, which recent studies have found that stimulate the growth of dermal papilla cells. Dermal papilla cells aid the development of hair follicles.

Cyclohexasiloxane

This silicone improves the texture of our formula and helps the ingredients be evenly distributed. It also acts as a protective barrier for the skin, keeping in moisture, and keeping out dirt and pollution.

Cyclopentasiloxane

Also known as D5, this non-greasy, odorless silicone is used for its lubricating properties. It gives your hair and skin a silky feeling, but it quickly evaporates and therefore is not absorbed by the skin.

olive oil

SUNFLOWER SEED OIL

An oil obtained from pressed sunflower seeds, it is rich in Vitamin E and linoleic acid. Linoleic acid helps your skin retain moisture, keeping it hydrated for a longer period of time. Sunflower oil also has anti-inflammatory properties when used topically.

Apricot KERnel oil

Apricot kernel contains linoleic and oleic acids which help to lock in moisture and absorb small amounts of moisture from the air’s humidity. It is great for overall scalp health because it is rich in Vitamin E, Vitamin A and Omega 3. Vitamin E and Omega 3 provide a protective barrier for the skin. Vitamin A promotes cell rejuvenation and the production of collagen.

Safflower Seed Oil

Macadamia oil

It penetrates the hair more efficiently than other oils while also preventing build up. Macadamia oil infuses the hair with loads of fatty acids, which moisturize the hair and give it a deep shiny appearance.

The Collection

Hear from our customers

I went from never wearing or using any type of cologne, beard oil, special soap, or anything like that. After getting a sampler and discovering the scent I'm hooked on the whole Sterling line!!! The formula 5 oil is another great addition to the line, I use it in my hair and it leaves a light hold that smells awesome!!

William H. verified buyer

I have been using the standard Formula 5 Sandalwood scent, and have tried others. They are all amazing; But this Sterling is next level. If you love the Sterling solid cologne, then this oil is a must, even if you don't have a beard—it's good for hair too!

Brent M. verified buyer

I used this oil on my bald scalp which gets dry and flaky in the Wisconsin winter and love it. Sterling is my favorite F&R scent and it really comes through in this product.

Bernard B. verified buyer

I have tried many oils for my beard over the years. Some smell ok but feel really heavy. Sterling is my scent man!! And I thought well its going to smell great, but will be heavy like the other oils. But no baby. This oil is light. Goes on light and smooth. Can’t say enough about it. Tops the Jack Black brand I was using. Get some.

Scott S. verified buyer

This is my favorite scent from F&R and the beard oil is just other worldly… I have tried the tobacco vanilla scent from Tom Ford, 18.21, Detroit Grooming, and others , and they are all excellent, but this is next level.
