Reason: Soul patch grows in the area just below the lower lip and above the chin. Therefore, it's facial hair.

shouldn't it imply beard?

You could have just the soul patch and no beard. Here's one.

I guess I meant, isn't a soul patch considered a type of beard?
I suppose it might not be though lol. TIL

I wouldn’t call that a beard any more than I’d call a mustache a beard, personally.

+1 for facial_hair, it can be part of a beard, but a moustache can be part of a "full beard" but nobody would regard it as a beard alone.

The majority of dictionary definitions I randomly picked from the Internet only refer to it as "hair" or "facial hair" with Merriam-Webster (of course) being the only exception that actually uses the word beard in its definition.

Cambridge:

a small area of hair on a man's face just below his mouth

Collins:

a small patch of facial hair below the centre of the lower lip and above the chin

Dictionary.com:

A soul patch is small, carefully shaped bit of facial hair just below the lip, usually with the rest of the chin or face shaven.

Merriam-Webster:

a small growth of beard under a man's lower lip

Oxford:

A small (cultivated) tuft of facial hair directly below the lower lip, worn alone or in addition to a moustache or beard.

Wikipedia:

A soul patch, also known as a mouche, is a single small patch of facial hair just below the lower lip and above the chin.
