Fake beard
From Lostpedia
{{{Caption}}}
Tom, one of the Others, used a fake beard as well as some ragged clothes as a disguise during his encounters with the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. Along with Tom, all of the Others that encountered the castaways wore the ragged clothes, in order to create the impression that they are uncivilized and undeveloped, and to hide the fact that they live in houses and are more advanced than they look.
In one of Claire's flashes from the time she was held captive by the Others, Tom approached Ethan in the Staff, visible to Claire's field of vision. He was not wearing his clothes or his beard, but looked cleaned and shaved.
About a month after these events, Claire, along with Kate and Danielle Rousseau discovered the station, and found a locker room where the beard, theatrical glue and some ragged clothes were contained. ("Maternity Leave")
The glue had the same style of label as the Vials. It also had RX-1 GND written on it, suggesting that the disguises are part of the DHARMA Initiative experiments.
During the prisoners exchange at the Pala Ferry dock, Kate revealed to Tom that they know his beard is fake. Tom then removed his fake beard, commenting that it itches. When Ben arrived to the dock with the Others' boat, he asked Tom where his beard is. Tom said that the survivors know it is fake.
