Complete guide: Cremuta Tattoo Process Butter 100ml
Cremuta Tattoo Process Butter is a 100% natural working butter, used as an alternative to classic petroleum jelly during tattoo sessions. It contains no lanolin or petroleum jelly, but a base of vegetable butters and oils — shea, cocoa, coconut, rice, sesame, aloe — plus beeswax, bisabolol, and vitamin E. It is applied to the skin during work to help the needle glide more easily and to keep the skin soft and hydrated. The 100ml format suits individual artists or small studios working regular sessions.
How to use
- At the start of the session, use a sterile spatula (not your fingers) to take the required amount and transfer it to a palette or disposable surface.
- Never reintroduce the already used spatula or tool back into the main container to avoid contaminating the remaining product.
- Apply a thin layer to the area to be tattooed, with gentle dabbing motions, not rubbing.
- Let the butter melt naturally upon contact with the warmth of the skin — a thin film is enough for glide, no thick layer is needed.
- Replenish the work area after each wipe with a paper towel, dabbing gently again.
- At the end, clean the skin and work area; the product wipes off cleanly, without residue.
- Close the container lid tightly after each use to keep the remaining product clean for the next session.
Tips from us
- Always use a sterile spatula or disposable wooden stick to take the product — never your fingers directly into the container.
- Transfer the estimated amount for the entire session onto a separate palette at once, so you don't open the main container multiple times during work.
- Apply in a thin layer; excess product does not help glide and increases the risk of needing more aggressive wiping, which can affect the stencil.
- Dose according to session duration — for a few hours of work, much less product is needed than for a long session.
- Keep the container closed between uses, away from direct heat, to maintain its texture.
Warning: Although it contains natural ingredients, it includes beeswax and vegetable butters/oils that may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals — if a client has a history of allergies, a sensitivity test is recommended beforehand. Use exclusively sterile disposable tools for extraction and never recontaminate the main container with anything that has already touched the skin — this is a basic hygiene rule in the tattooing process. Use it in combination with standard studio hygiene practices (gloves, protective barriers, disinfected surfaces).
Frequently asked questions
What is Process Butter and how is it different from classic petroleum jelly used in tattooing?▾
Process Butter is a working product based on vegetable butters and oils (shea, cocoa, coconut, etc.), specially designed for the tattoo session, unlike petroleum jelly, which is a petroleum derivative. Cremuta Tattoo Process Butter contains no lanolin or petroleum jelly — it melts upon contact with warm skin and provides glide for the needle while keeping the skin hydrated.
How long does a 100ml jar last?▾
According to the manufacturer, a 100ml container covers approximately 10-15 full sessions, depending on the size of the tattoo and the duration of work. For a standard 3-4 hour session, the estimated consumption is about 5-8ml, and for long sessions of 6-8 hours, it can reach 10-12ml.
Does it affect the stencil applied to the skin?▾
It shouldn't, if applied correctly — with dabbing motions, not rubbing, and in a thin layer. If the stencil fades during work, the cause is usually aggressive wiping with a paper towel, not the product itself.
How is it applied and stored under hygienic conditions?▾
Take the required amount with a sterile spatula or disposable wooden stick, never with your fingers, and transfer it to a separate palette at the start of the session. Never reintroduce into the container an instrument that has already touched the client's skin — this avoids contaminating the product left for future sessions. Keep the lid closed between uses.
Can it be used with any type of ink?▾
Yes — being a neutral product, based on vegetable butters and oils, it does not chemically interfere with pigments and can be used regardless of the type of ink chosen for the session.
Who is this product suitable for — only experienced artists or also beginners?▾
It suits any artist who works with the standard technique of applying a glide product during tattooing, regardless of experience. For someone just starting out, the main thing to remember is dosage — a thin layer, applied by dabbing, is sufficient; there is no need for large amounts.

The process butter creates an optimal glide surface on the skin, allowing needles to slide smoothly without dragging or irritating the epidermis while maintaining stencil visibility throughout the session.

The texture melts easily on contact with warm skin, distributing evenly without forming clumps or uncovered areas. It does not clog tubes or cartridges and wipes clean with paper towel without leaving residue that would interfere with work visibility.

Practical container with a lid allowing easy access with a sterile spatula. Tested and appreciated by professional artists across Romania and Europe.
