It is a skin protection ointment based on vitamins A and D, in a base of white petrolatum with lanolin, in a 120 ml container from Dynarex. It is mainly used as aftercare for fresh tattoos, but also for protecting minor cuts, scrapes, and mild skin irritations. In a studio setting, it can also be used as a piercing needle lubricant. The 120 ml format is designed for studio use, from which portions are dispensed for multiple clients.
How long and how often should I apply the cream on a new tattoo?▾
Generally, apply a thin layer 2-3 times a day on washed and dried skin for the entire superficial healing period (about two weeks). The golden rule is 'less is more' — a thick layer does more harm than good. Always follow your artist's instructions, as each tattoo and skin type behaves differently.
Does it contain lanolin? What if I have sensitive skin?▾
Yes, the formula has a base of white petrolatum with lanolin. Lanolin deeply moisturizes, but some people are allergic to it. If you know you react to wool/lanolin or have very sensitive skin, test on a small area first or choose a lanolin-free aftercare option.
Can I also use this ointment for piercings?▾
Yes, in addition to tattoo aftercare, the product is used in studios as a piercing needle lubricant and for protecting scrapes and minor skin irritations. In all cases, it remains for external use only.
Is it suitable for the face, PMU, or microblading?▾
Being an occlusive petrolatum-based ointment, many artists prefer lighter products for the face area, as a thick layer can clog pores. If you use it on the face, apply a very thin layer and follow the PMU/microblading artist's recommendations exactly.
How do I keep the 120 ml container hygienic in the studio?▾
Do not touch the product directly with your fingers. Portion for each client using a disposable spatula or clean glove, keep the lid closed between uses, and store at room temperature. This avoids cross-contamination and keeps the ointment clean throughout its use.
How long does a 120 ml container last?▾
It greatly depends on the size of the tattoos and how many clients you serve, but because it is applied in very thin layers, a 120 ml container is a 'studio' format that lasts a long time. The actual consumption per tattoo is small, so do not waste it with thick layers.
