Cremuta Tattoo Process Butter 500ml

Complete guide: Cremuta Tattoo Process Butter 500ml

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 to use

1. Before starting the session, use a sterile spatula to transfer the required amount from the 500ml container onto an individual, disposable palette — never insert fingers or a glove already worn directly into the jar.
2. Immediately close the main container lid after each transfer, so the remaining product is protected for future sessions.
3. Apply a thin layer to the work area at the start of tattooing, for better needle glide on the skin.
4. Reapply from the individual palette whenever the skin becomes dry or needs cleaning between passes.
5. Gently wipe off excess product and ink, without rubbing the skin vigorously.
6. If working in a studio with multiple artists, each person uses exclusively their own palette — the main container remains shared, but never used directly on the skin.
7. At the end of the session, a thin layer can be applied as initial protection before bandaging, but this product does not replace a dedicated aftercare for the healing period.
8. Between uses, store the main container tightly closed, at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Tips from us

• Note the opening date on the container — the manufacturer recommends using the product within 12-18 months of opening.
• Organize transfers onto individual palettes before each work day, especially if multiple artists use the same 500ml container — this avoids repeated openings and contamination.
• The 500ml format offers the best price per milliliter in the range, but it makes sense especially for studios with constant activity; for a single artist with low volume, the 100ml or 300ml formats may be more practical.
• At tattoo conventions, where multiple artists work simultaneously over several days, transfer smaller portions daily into a secondary container and keep the large jar in the storage area.
• For actual healing, after the tattoo is completed, use a dedicated aftercare product — Process Butter is designed for the working stage, not for the two to three weeks of subsequent care.
