Multitasking Moisture
Yup, just balm. Just one balm for anything and everything, because that's how I roll. (Or, rub?)
This is your lip balm, lotion stick, cuticle cream, and skin-softening miracle salve for anywhere you need relief from dry, itchy, or chapped skin. You can even use it as a hair pomade, clear mascara, or brow tamer. (Yes, I'm serious!)
Balm has a rich, soothing texture that's non-pore clogging and soaks in quickly to leave your skin feeling cushiony-soft and protected, never greasy or oily.
The scent is a subtle and sweet blend of lavender and chamomile that won't overpower your natural perfume. It's available in a small .2 oz (5g/ml) or great big 1 oz (30g/ml) biodegradable tube for healing moisture on the go. I suggest getting one of each, because once you try it, you'll never want to be without it!
Note: The small tube may look tiny but it actually holds a bit more product than a standard, plastic lip balm tube!
Ingredients
shea butter, candelilla wax, organic sunflower oil, mango seed butter, wildcrafted jojoba oil, organic evening primrose oil, virgin red raspberry seed oil, organic avocado oil, tocopherol oil (vitamin e,) essential oils of lavender, chamomile, carrot seed, roasted coffee bean
Shelf life: 1 year
natural butters and wax: form a protective barrier layer to lock in moisture without clogging pores. (Pictured on product cover photo: shea nuts.)
plant oils: full of skin-repairing, anti-inflammatory fatty acids and antioxidant vitamins to replenish moisture and strengthen the skin barrier
essential oils: soothe and repair skin while providing a subtle, fresh scent
Instructions
Carefully push up the bottom of the tube to reveal the balm. Apply to lips, face, hands, body, or anywhere you need intensively healing moisture. Apply the balm directly on the skin or rub some between your hands and apply with your fingers.
Keep in mind: A little goes a long way. All-over balm will soak in to leave you feeling soft, not greasy, but I recommend starting small and adding more as needed.
Try it on: hands, callouses, cuticles, lips, elbows, knees, feet, chapped winter skin, after grooming, as a bikini balm or hair pomade. It also makes a perfect clear mascara and brow tamer.
As a hair pomade: rub a small amount of balm in your hands and smooth over hair to tame frizz and add shape and moisturizing texture. Can also be used as a beard pomade.
As a mascara or brow tamer: gently rub a spoolie brush over your balm and apply a small amount to your lashes and brows as you would mascara or another brow product.
Product FAQs
Is this pore clogging?
This balm should not clog your pores, but it's a very rich moisturizer that's best used sparingly on the face to spot treat any super dry & chapped areas.
I'm sensitive to caffeine, can I use this?
Yes, it should be fine. There is a very tiny amount of roasted coffee bean oil in this product. Coffee bean oil is a deeply penetrating moisturizer, but in this application, it mostly just serves to soften and add depth to the scent profile.

About Twinkle Apothecary
Lo-Fi Beauty for Modern Humans
Lo-fi (fidelity) is a production quality in which elements usually regarded as imperfections are present, sometimes as a deliberate choice.
Welcome,
To my world of plant-based, slow beauty. Twinkle Apothecary is a one-person, artisan craft business, founded in 2015, and owned and operated by me, Stefanie.
I create 100% botanical-based fragrances for all genders, with minimal, low-waste, vegan skincare and makeup to minimize your routine.
These are old-school, stripped down, pared-back products, that are as close to nature as it gets. Made by hand with no fillers, no preservatives, and nothing cutting edge.
I don’t believe in miracle products. I do believe that sticking to a consistent routine which nourishes and supports your skin’s natural ability to balance and heal itself can produce results that feel like a miracle in a world that’s constantly trying to convince you to buy the next new thing.
My goal is to make personal care simple, sustainable, and joyful, so that you can live your life free from the labor of trying to achieve unattainable beauty standards.
Twinkle Apothecary is a minimalist brand. I'm always looking for the simplest way to do things, not only in my formulations, but also in my business operations and my approach to packaging and design. To me, it's what's inside the bottles that really counts - that's why each product has a simple label with a QR code, which you can scan to see the full product details and instructions. I offer just a handful of skincare products, which can be customized to meet your specific needs. I truly believe that less is more.
And if you'd like to take a break from beauty routines to explore your connection to the beauty of the earth through natural fragrances, you're in the right place. (Perfumery is my passion!)
I hope you enjoy your time exploring my handmade creations. Thanks for stopping by!

Balm is absolutely a daily essential for me. I've been an absolute champion of body butter for years, and recently ordered balm just to give it a try and now I'm obsessed with both. I mainly use balm on my lips and cuticles, and nothing has ever worked better. My cuticles were so torn and aggravated, and after just two days of applying balm, they look and feel so good. It's not at all oily or greasy, it just rubs in smoothly and moisturizes without transferring off.
That's awesome to hear, I'm so glad it's working for you!
I got a little sample size of this for my sister in law and I hope she likes it! I have a feeling she will :)!
Awesome! What a great gift - thanks for leaving a review!
Works well!
I'm so glad to hear it! Thanks for the review!
I’m picky about balms. Most are too glossy/oily that they just sit on the skin/lips leaving them still feeling dry/tight underneath. This balm is one of the few that I would repurchase. I’m glad that it doesn’t contain coconut oil because to me that's more of a dry oil that doesn’t moisturize much lol. I love this balm’s texture— it’s thick, soothes, softens, and leaves a protective layer that lasts✨
This is such wonderful feedback and a great way to describe the effectiveness of All Over Balm. Thank you for the amazing review!
It’s not the lavender latte which was my favorite. But I can use all over balm on my lips and rough spots on my hands and even face to guard from the cold. Will definitely purchase again!
I'm so glad you love it enough to repurchase it! Thank you for taking a chance on my new formulation!

Let customers speak for us
from 1329 reviewsI added the ruby shimmer to my collection, and it is a gorgeous, buildable berry. It's very moisturizing for a tinted lip balm, but still works beautifully as a cheek color. The tubes look small at first, but the size is deceiving - my tube of mother of pearl has lasted for months and there is still plenty left. Can't go wrong with these little cuties.
A rich, lovely smell and texture that soaks right into my skin. I use on my hands, arms, and legs after my evening shower.
It's hard to decide on a scent on the body butter, but right now rose is hard to beat.
This earthy, floral scent is perfect for when you want to feel beautiful and strong, as if blooming from the dirt and becoming one with the flowers.
This stuff smells amazing and absorbs quickly. I use it daily. If I’m feeling extra luxurious, I’ll put this on and top it with the balm. 🩷
Fresh jasminy flower scent that is bit green and not oversweet though it is sweet. A fave.
I'm in love with this balm. It has a nice flowery scent that is not overpowering, it glides on like butter, and it gives the skin a beautiful glowy appearance with a subtle shimmer. I don't wear makeup anymore, but this hybrid balm makes me feel more put together and confident that my skin is getting the nourishment it needs while also looking incredible!
I've used only this deodorant for many years now, jumping around different scents back in the day, and now the current scent and formula is my favorite! It works so well, one tube lasts me a decent amount of time and the scent is just so fresh and lovely. During the boiling summer months, I will use the body powder after deodorant to help boost the deodorant's power because, well, Oklahoma summers.
I’ve been meaning to write this review for a long time. After being at home during Covid wearing no makeup for months, my skin had cleared up and felt so fresh and light. I hated the idea of wearing makeup again. I think I ordered this product for the first time in the early summer of 2020 and have never looked back. It is so light and my face feels so natural. Now that it’s no longer tinted, I add the tiniest bit of Twinkle’s bronze shimmer powder which is great because I can adjust it to the exact color I want. I love that I feel like I’m not wearing any makeup but have a nice glow from the balm and bronzer. My skin has been clear ever since I started using this product. I’m 47 and know this balm has been amazing for keeping my skin looking and feeling fresh. I never wear any other kind of foundation anymore and no longer have breakouts. I highly recommend this product
I’d been eyeing this lip stain for years now but kept putting off buying it because I didn’t really need another lip color right now. Then I received it as a free sample and was sold. I love everything about this. The color is gorgeous and buildable. The texture feels amazing on my lips and keeps them hydrated even in winter
I ordered sorbet, amber spice, and basic. She was kind enough to include an extra sample of cream for free and I’m so happy she did because i love it. Cream literally smells like a glazed donut but more grown up to me and it’s great. Basic smells like a creamsicle in the best way possible because it’s not artificial or cloying and I’m obsessed. I preferred Basic and Cream over Sorbet and Amber Spice because I prefer sweeter, more gourmand scents and I found Sorbet and Amber Spice to be a little too spicy for my liking. If you do like spicier/fall scents then I would definitely recommend those two. Shipping was also super fast and packaged nicely. If anyone is thinking of trying natural perfumes I highly recommend these samples. They’re so cheap and there are so many to chose from. Plus it’s hard to tell if you’ll love a scent until you try it out on your own skin. I’m so happy I tried this shop and found some natural scents that I love because I have been looking for so long! Thank you!
Loved the scents i chose. Mild but also classic. Each had a distinct fragrance but never overpowering; gentle enough to put on neck or wrists to provide an aura of pleasantness. My favorite was rose cream but all were great.
I have struggled with acne for years, and have used so many drying acne treatments that just end up making my pimples worse, and prolonging the healing cycle. This acne treatment prevents and gets rid of my pimples overnight, I wake up and can visibly see that my pimples are less inflamed and red. I have noticed such a huge difference in my skin, and this is truly the only product I will ever use again to continue treating my pimples and preventing my acne. It is so refreshing to find something that actually works after so many years of trying different products. I would highly recommend!!
I love this stuff so much I kind of want to buy more just because, but it lasts forever. I tend to get underground pimples appearing on my chin just before my cycle starts and I wasn’t sure it would work on them, but IT WORKS!!! I find that most acne spot treatments just dry the crap out of my skin and then my skin starts peeling which is more noticeable than the pimple would have been on its own. I have also used those little spot patches but they literally do nothing. This acne spot treatment works preventatively and doesn’t dry my skin and has a lovely little scent to boot!
Decadently spicy without being overwhelming! 10/10 my new favorite cold weather signature scent.
I had been considering the Filter Balm for a while. I have a problem (ha!) and I purchase too many skin care products, so I kept putting it off. This winter has been rough on my skin, so I tried the small jar. I really like it.
I'm in my late 50s, and my makeup and skincare needs are different than they used to be. Filter Balm is a good choice for me. I use it in the morning. It starts very rich, but it soaks in beautifully. I had no dry flakes, which had been a problem for me in this bitter cold stretch. I applied a small amount of my normal mineral powder makeup on top of it and it just all felt and looked good.
Highly recommended for mature skin. I plan on re-purchasing!
