One is all you need
Just one mega-moisturizer for everyone, meant to apply everywhere - face, body, hands, feet, elbows - anywhere you need protective, effective, skin-softening moisture.
The texture is silky and rich, but not greasy. Butter deeply penetrates and soaks in without clogging pores to repair and strengthen the skin barrier.
Just like my oil, I designed butter to work for every skin type. Your skin needs this antioxidant-rich moisturizer, whether it's dry, acne-prone, oily, or anything in-between. It's essential oil free, which makes it perfect for sensitive skin too!
Use it at the end of your skincare routine to lock in moisture, morning and night.

Try it in the Starter Skincare Set ($55)
(P.S. If you're looking for my scented body butter, that's here!)
Ingredients
shea butter, virgin blueberry seed oil, organic sunflower oil, virgin kalahari melon seed oil, wildcrafted rosehip seed oil, organic evening primrose oil, avocado oil, wildcrafted grapeseed oil, organic hemp seed oil, virgin red raspberry seed oil, organic argan oil, wildcrafted jojoba oil, non-gmo tocopherol oil (vitamin E)
Shelf life: 1 year
shea butter: forms a rich, but non-pore clogging protective barrier layer to lock in the moisturizing oils
plant oils: full of skin-repairing, anti-inflammatory fatty acids and antioxidant vitamins to strengthen the skin barrier and even out skin-tone.
The scent
Butter has a naturally subtle, fresh, fruity fragrance, thanks to antioxidant-packed virgin blueberry seed oil. (Pictured on product cover photo.)
Instructions
Face: apply a dime sized amount to clean skin. Can be used morning or night. Apply over your oil and under your filter balm. You can also mix butter with your oil for a one-step moisture delivery system!
How to do skincare: cleanser -> toner -> oil -> butter.
Body: apply anywhere as needed. Try it on feet, elbows, knees, hands, or anywhere to keep itchy, dry skin at bay.
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!

I just got a sample of the butter, but I'll be buying a full sized jar soon! I love the subtle scent it has, and the moisturizing power is incredible. Just a small amount goes a long way!
That's so great to hear! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I've been using butter for years for moisturizing, and it's always luxurious and perfect for my skin. This original scent is refreshing and subtle, and glides on so smoothly. I typically use it daily as an all-over moisturizer after showers, and my skin will still feel incredibly moisturized 12 hours later - it's like magic.
Ooh, magic! I love hearing that! So glad you're enjoying it, thank you for sharing a review!
Butter feels like the most luxurious moisturizer my face has ever had the pleasure of meeting. It’s a thicker moisturizer and I apply at night before bed. I tend to have oily/ acne prone skin but Butter does not clog my pores and my skin drinks it in. It’s the best!
Oh, that's so great to hear! Thank you for the review!
I love the Butter for face and body -- it's an excellent gentle, fragrance-free multi-tasker that I use from head to toe. It's vegan, cruelty-free, low-waste, and it WORKS. What more could I want?
What more could you want, indeed?! Haha! Thanks so much for sharing your review!
Moisturizing but not heavy or greasy. I have sensitive but also dry skin and was using CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream throughout the day which really wasn't as moisturizing as I wanted in addition to it being greasy AND burning my skin if it was really inflamed. I tried this butter and it is perfect for my sensitive skin, doesn't burn EVER, isn't greasy and is a great moisturizer. I use it several times throughout the day for the dry spots on my face. Love it!
OMG! No one should ever have to put up with skincare that stings! I'm so glad to know that Butter works better for you. Thank you for the review!

Let customers speak for us
from 1340 reviewsThis facial cleanser is the best face wash I’ve ever used. I have sensitive, dry skin. I use my Twinkle Apothecary cleanser, toner, and oil every day and my skin has never been so soft and nourished. I have been using these products for months now and my skin doesn’t feel dry anymore. I love that I can buy the big bag to refill bottles and have them anywhere I might need it.
I love this balm. Have been purchasing for over a year now. The tube last me 6+ months. It’s really great during the summer months to put on bug bites. Relieves the itch and soothes the skin.
I 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!
