Midohana Motto Matcha 24/7 balm is a homemade balm for anything. You can use it on your lips, cuticles, dry knees or elbows and even smooth out dry hair ends.
This balm is made from matcha green tea butter. Apparently this match green tea is the Cadillac of Japanese green teas.
I chose passionfruit rose, which smells like Tokyo Rose tea. Super yummy and soothing. There are other scents available.

To begin with, the smell of this balm is divine. I primarily have been using it as a lip balm and as a balm for my elbows. It's very calming. It also works great on dry skin. I've seen a major improvement on my elbows. This balm even stops the itching of dry skin. I use it every night before I go to bed and during the day on my lips.
To apply you need to use your fingers and I recommend you swirl them around a few times because it needs to be warmed up so you can put it on. It has a nice silky texture when you put it on. When you use it on your lips, if you use it liberally, it gives you a nice gloss look.
It lasts a while. I would say it lasts longer on my elbows than it does on my lips, but I'm not eating through or licking my elbows. Also this balm goes a long way. I've had it for about two weeks and it looks like I haven't even touched it. So you get a great value!
I can't really find any negatives about this 24/7 everywhere balm. I haven't tried the dried ends claim yet, but I'd believe it.
Plus this Etsy seller makes sushi soap. If you haven't seen this stuff...check it out. Which is the best gift EVER for a sushi lover who loves organic and natural bath & body products!
Overall, this is a rad multipurpose balm. It is a bit pricey but I did some research. Matcha is not cheap. Therefore, I say that the money spent on this product is worth it. Totally.
