This decadently soft moisturizer is whipped up with tapioca flour and my subtly-shimmery highlight shimmer powder blend to give your face a flawless photo-filter finish. (Perhaps it should actually be called no-filter balm? Oh well, you get what I mean, right?!)

 

It makes a great day cream and primer - you can wear it under your makeup, or go without and glow, naturally. 

 

Filter Balm has a rich texture, but it does not clog pores, and is balancing for all skin types. Don't be shy. Try a sample and start loving your selfies!

shea butter, mango butter, tapioca starch, organic sunflower oil, organic evening primrose oil, red raspberry seed oil, candelilla wax, non-gmo tocopherol oil (vitamin e), mica*, ylang ylang essential oil, geranium essential oil 

shea + mango butter + wax: form a protective barrier layer to lock in moisture and shield your skin from the elements (mango pictured on the product cover photo)
plant oils: full of anti-inflammatory vitamins and skin repairing fatty acids to condition and repair skin 
tapioca: leaves your skin with a powdery, soft, subtly matte finish 
mica: reflects light to give your skin a natural looking glow 
essential oils: balance oil production and promote radiance 


*mica contains: Mica (CI 77019), titanium dioxide (CI 77891), iron oxide (CI 77491)

The basics: Massage a dime sized amount onto clean skin. Suggested: layer over your oil. 

 

If you need a more targeted approach: Dot very small amounts across forehead, nose, cheekbones, chin, jawline, and neck, and gently massage upwardly into skin. You can spot-apply Filter Balm wherever you want a subtle dewy highlight. 

 

The magic moment: Filter Balm goes on thick and may feel a bit oily at first, but give it about 1-2 minutes to soak into your skin - you'll be left with a subtly-matte glowy finish. 

 

Start small: If it feels oily on your skin and doesn't seem to soak in, you might have used a little too much. Don't worry - just follow with setting powder to balance things out! 

 

Then what: Follow with your favorite makeup or wear it alone. Suggested: apply setting powder over your filter balm for an even more flawless finish.

Does this deposit any color onto my skin? 

 

No. This is a translucent moisturizer. It leaves you with a subtle light-reflecting glow, but it isn't a makeup/foundation product. It's more like a skincare/makeup hybrid. 

 

Can I wear this as a night cream? 

 

Of course. There's no reason why you can't wear Filter Balm to bed at night. It's full of non-pore clogging ingredients that will heal and repair your skin while you sleep.  

 

Why did you discontinue the barely bronze shade, that was my favorite?! 

 

Making cuts isn't fun, but it is necessary to keep things simple (and more cost effective!) as a one person brand. There isn't that much of a difference between translucent and barely bronze. If you prefer the barely bronze shade, you can mix a tiny amount of bronze shimmer powder into your balm. Just dip a finger in the powder and mix it up in your hand.

The original miracle balm

The filter balm is one of my favorite products from Twinkle Apothecary. I use it every day. Goes on soft and silky and can be used in so many ways- keeps my eyebrows in place, adds highlighting shimmer, add your blush or bronzer to it and use it anywhere you need a bit of moisturizing color.
I recently saw a big name beauty brand come out with a similar product and I giggled to myself thinking...Twinkle Apothecary has been making this for years!

Well this review makes me giggle... with delight! I'm so glad that you're still enjoying it after all this time. Thank you for supporting independent brands (and getting the good stuff first!) ;)

Melts on the skin

This is extremely moisturizing, melts right into the skin. Also it smells amazing.

What a lovely way to describe the texture, thank you!

Perfect skin protection against the Oklahoma wind!

I love using Facewhip in the winter - it’s the only product I’ve found which actually protects my skin from the wind! Also, it totally healed my seborrheic dermatitis! I used to have breakouts of the dermatitis on my face and using Facewhip and all of Twinkle’s skincare products have healed the breakouts and caused the dermatitis to completely go away!

Wow, that's wonderful! I'm thrilled to know that the products I make have helped your skin heal. Thank you so much for sharing!

Healthy Skin

I really like Facewhip. The scent is just wonderful. It is an enjoyable part of my morning. It is a great moisturizer and just adds a touch of glow. It is perfect for me because it is the only “foundation” that doesn’t cause breakouts for me. The first time I tried it, I didn’t quite like it because I had never used a balm for makeup before. When I tried it again, I was more patient and just let it soak in. After a couple of days I was in love. My skin now looks amazing and I get compliments on that all the time. Very nice product.

Facewhip is kind of an unusual texture, isn't it?! I'm so glad you gave it another chance and are loving how it works for your skin - thank you for the amazing review!
