Cremuta Tattoo Process Butter 500ml is a 100% natural work butter, designed as an alternative to the petroleum jelly traditionally used during the tattooing process. The formula, based on vegetable butters and oils, helps the needle glide more easily on the skin and keeps the skin soft and hydrated throughout the session. Being the largest format in the Cremuta range (alongside the 100ml and 300ml variants), the 500ml container is mainly intended for high-volume studios and teams of multiple artists sharing the same stock.
How do I correctly transfer the product from the 500ml container to avoid contamination?▾
Use a sterile spatula to take the required amount and place it on an individual disposable palette, then immediately close the main container. Never insert hands, gloves already worn during the session, or other contaminated tools directly into the jar. Each artist should work exclusively from their own palette, even if the large container is shared in the studio.
Is the 500ml format for me if I work alone, or only for studios?▾
The 500ml format is primarily designed for high-volume studios or teams of multiple artists sharing a common stock — it offers the best price per milliliter in the Cremuta range. If you work alone or have a low volume of sessions, the smaller formats in the same range (100ml, 300ml, with identical formula) may be easier to manage and keep clean.
Can it also be used after the session, as tattoo aftercare?▾
It can be applied immediately after completing the tattoo, as initial protection before bandaging — many artists do this with a thin layer. However, it does not replace a dedicated aftercare product for the healing period of several weeks; for that stage, the Cremuta range has a separate aftercare product, with a lighter formula specifically designed for healing.
Does it need special storage conditions?▾
No, the conditions are standard: room temperature, dry place, away from direct sunlight, with the lid tightly closed between uses. It does not require refrigeration. It is useful to note the opening date on the container to keep track of the recommended usage period.
How does it differ from the classic petroleum jelly used in tattooing?▾
It is a 100% natural formula, free of petroleum jelly (petrolatum) and lanolin, based on vegetable butters and oils (shea, cocoa, coconut, rice, sesame, aloe) plus bisabolol and vitamin E. Its role is similar to that of petroleum jelly — to provide needle glide and keep the skin hydrated during the session — but without the petroleum-based composition.
How long does a 500ml container last in practice?▾
It depends on the number of artists and the workload in the studio. As a rough reference, the manufacturer estimates coverage for approximately 50-75 complete sessions, which generally means a few weeks up to 2-3 months of constant use for an active studio. It is useful to have a spare container on hand if activity is sustained.
