ATLANTA - s4story -- Maestro Beard Care, a new entrant in the men's grooming space, has announced the launch of its first-ever crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, set to go live on February 1, 2026. The month-long campaign will support the formulation, testing, and initial production of Maestro's debut line of all-natural beard care products, designed specifically for men with textured and coarse beard hair.

Founded to address a long-overlooked gap in the grooming industry, Maestro Beard Care is among the first brands to focus intentionally on beard textures—including curly, kinky, and coarse beards—rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. The brand's initial collection will include six core products: a beard wash, conditioning crème, beard oil, beard balm, styling custard, and beard mask.

"Maestro was created from personal experience," said Eric Pollard, creator of Maestro Beard Care and founder of Phenyx Brands. "Throughout my beard journey, I struggled to find products that truly worked without causing dryness, irritation, or buildup. This brand is about creating solutions that respect beard texture, support skin health, and actually perform the way men need them to."

The Kickstarter campaign (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/phenyxbrands/maestro-beard-care) will fund professional formulation with experienced cosmetic chemists, stability testing, packaging development, and a first small-batch production run. By crowdfunding the initial collection, Maestro aims to bring its products to market with transparency while inviting early supporters to play a direct role in the brand's creation.

"Launching this campaign isn't just about funding products—it's about building something alongside the community it's meant to serve," added Pollard. "Kickstarter allows us to validate demand, refine our formulations, and deliver a collection that truly reflects the needs of men with textured beards."

Maestro plans to complete formulation and testing following a successful campaign, with the goal of launching its first full collection by Fall 2026, positioning the brand for availability during the holiday season.
