About Us

The Semper Fi Beard brand was born from one Marine's mission to grow more than just a beard-it was about building a lifestyle.

Founded by Derek Heeter, a proud United States Marine Corps Veteran based in Somerset, Indiana, the journey started when he left the Marine Corps in 2014. Like many Veterans, Derek let his freedom flag fly in the form of a glorious beard. But growing it was just the beginning. He began crafting his own beard oil blends to tame the beast and keep it looking sharp.

What started as a personal passion quickly evolved into something more: a way to connect with fellow beardsmen, share tips and stories, and above all, support one another in their growth on the outside and the inside.

And that's how The Semper Fi Beard came to life.

At The Semper Fi Beard, we help beardsmen look sharp, feel confident, and show up like the badasses they were born to be.

Because here’s the truth—when you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you’re unstoppable.

Yeah, we make killer grooming products. But we’re also here to build something bigger: a brotherhood. A place where every beard—short, long, red, gray, curly, patchy, or majestic—is celebrated.

Through our handcrafted oils and the motivating content we share, our mission is simple: help every beardsman grow with purpose and thrive with pride.

We get it—there are a ton of beard products out there. So why roll with us?

Here’s what sets The Semper Fi Beard apart:

• No fluff. No filler. No compromises.
  
• Every product is made in-house, by hand, with precision and care.
  
• Fueled by discipline, powered by passion—support a small business with big mission energy.
  

At the end of the day, we’re not just in the beard care business—we’re in the self-care, brotherhood, and confidence business.
