About Twinkle Apothecary

Gentle, Everyday Protection 

Summer is the best, but itchy bites are the worst - thankfully you’ve discovered this all-natural solution for everyday mosquito protection that works while making your skin and nose happy too! 

The only question is which scent to get - version 1.0 is the original Twinkle Apothecary blend of lavender, lemon, lemongrass, and cedar, and version 2.0 is a new, more complex scent profile, with essential oils of lemon eucalyptus, basil, geranium, patchouli, clove, clary sage, lavender, cinnamon, and tagetes. 

Both are great, but version 1.0 may be best for kids and sensitive skin, while version 2.0 is more “heavy duty.” Knowing that essential oil based repellents work by confusing the mosquitoes’ scent receptors, you may want to try both to see which you prefer while keeping them guessing!

Please note that while these work quite well for everyday protection, I cannot guarantee that they will work for everyone in all locations. If you are concerned about mosquito-borne illnesses or need more guaranteed protection, I suggest following the CDC guidelines to prevent mosquito bites. 

How you use it 

Shake the bottle well to disperse the essential oils and spray liberally to your skin and clothing. For best results, reapply often.

You can mist some on your face, but be sure to avoid your eyes and mouth.

Get the 8 oz bottle with a screw-on cap to use for refills so your family can have a safe and sustainable summer!

Ingredients 

Version 1.0: distilled water, organic witch hazel distillate 86%, organic fractionated coconut oil, essential oils of lavender, lemon, lemongrass, and cedarwood 

Version 2.0: distilled water, organic witch hazel distillate 86%, organic fractionated coconut oil, essential oils of lemon eucalyptus, basil, geranium, patchouli, clove, clary sage, lavender, cinnamon, and tagetes

It works!

Bug Away spray is fantastic! I live in Minnesota where the mosquitoes are horrendous, but I hate using traditional bug sprays. Bug Away works and smells really lovely!

YAY, I'm so happy that it works for you! Thanks so much for sharing this!

The best bug spray

I'm so happy to see bug spray back in the store full-time! I used to purchase it from the brick-and-mortar, and it's my favorite go to. It works great for me, and my favorite part is not feeling like I need to take a shower like I do with Off brand bug spray which definitely leaves a clammy residue and chemical stench. This bug spray smells lovely, doesn't leave any clammy residue and keeps bugs away. I use it mainly in the morning before I head out into the garden, and for walks around the neighborhood in the morning or evening. It keeps bugs away and let's me enjoy time outside without dousing myself in smelly chemicals first.

I'm so glad I brought this one back too, and, I'm so glad to know that it works for you! I kind of just think of it as my 'summer perfume' because it's such a daily necessity for me. Thank you for sharing this!

Subscriptions

Boxes: The Surprise Scent Monthly and Off the Menu subscriptions work the same way. To sign up, place your order by the 14th of each month by 12 pm US central time. The boxes (or envelopes) will ship on the 15th, or next business day if the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday.

Ordering after the 14th at noon puts you on the list for the next month's box.

Example: To sign up for a January Subscription box, you can order anytime between December 14th at 12:00 pm - January 14th at 11:59 am.

Ordering on January 14th at 12:00 pm or after will sign you up for the February box.

What's in the next box: The next month's Off the Menu item and a hint for the upcoming Surprise Scent will be revealed on the respective product pages after the 14th at noon each month. Be sure to check the product pages on the afternoon of the 14th to see what's in the next month's box, especially if you are not subscribed to my email list or push notifications!

You will always be charged for the next month's box each month on the same day (and exact time) that you placed your original order. If you would like to cancel or skip a month, you'll need to do so before your charge date. If you are not able to cancel before you're charged, simply email me to be refunded any time before I make the products on the afternoon of the 14th.

If you sign up for multiple subscription boxes (fun!) I will ship them all together to you on the 15th and refund any excess shipping fees.

For regular subscribe-and-save recurring product orders: your item will ship within 1-5 business days from the time you place your order.

Split-shipment policy: If you are ordering other, non-subscription items at the same time as your subscription box (Off the Menu, Surprise Scent, Collect Them All Club,) and you would like to receive your non-subscription items before the 15th, please place a separate order. I can only double-ship your order if the other items in your order qualify for free shipping on their own. If you've ordered enough to qualify for free shipping but want me to hold the other items to ship at the same time as your subscription products, great! Feel free to leave a note with your order and let me know!

All subscriptions are self-service.

How to cancel: You may cancel your order any time before your next charge date by logging into your account and clicking on the "My Subscriptions" button. If you are unable to cancel before you're charged, please email me to be refunded ASAP, before I make and ship your product. I cannot refund products that have already been made and/or shipped.

How to edit: To cancel, pause, switch items, add additional products, notes, or coupons to your subscription orders and to edit your subscription shipping address, simply log into your account and click on the "My Subscriptions" button. The process for editing your recurring order in the portal is so easy! If you are unable to access your account for any reason, please email me and I'm happy to help.

If you move: you are responsible for updating your shipping address before your next charge date. Orders shipped to the wrong address will not be refunded or replaced. I am happy to help you update your address, but you will need to email me before your order ships!

PLEASE NOTE: Updating your subscription order address is a SEPARATE ACTION from updating the default address on your Twinkle customer account. Update both to make sure you get your order. The subscription order address can be edited in the subscription portal (accessed by clicking on the "my subscriptions" button.)
