# What Is the Best Tattoo Aftercare Ointment?
Choosing the right aftercare ointment is crucial for optimal healing and pigment retention in semi-permanent makeup. Below, we break down key considerations and top recommendations for professionals.
Key Qualities of an Effective Aftercare Ointment
- Non-Comedogenic: Prevents clogged pores, reducing infection risks.
- Antibacterial Properties: Helps protect against microbial contamination (e.g., bacitracin or panthenol).
- Hypoallergenic: Minimizes irritation for sensitive skin.
- Moisturizing Yet Light: Avoids heavy formulas that suffocate healing skin (e.g., water-based gels).
Top Recommended Ointments
1. Aquaphor Healing Ointment
- Contains panthenol and glycerin for deep hydration.
- Trusted by dermatologists for post-procedure care.
2. Hustle Butter Deluxe
- Vegan, fragrance-free, and packed with natural butters (shea, mango).
- Promotes faster healing and reduces scabbing.
3. Bepanthen Tattoo Aftercare Cream
- Specifically formulated for tattoos and PMU.
- Includes provitamin B5 to support skin regeneration.
What to Avoid
- Petroleum-Based Products (e.g., Vaseline): Can trap bacteria and delay healing.
- Heavy Fragrances or Alcohol: May cause irritation or dryness.
Expert Aftercare Tips
- Apply a thin layer 2–3 times daily for 5–7 days.
- Avoid sun exposure and swimming during initial healing.
- Follow your artist’s aftercare protocol for best results.
For long-term pigment vibrancy, recommend clients use SPF post-healing.

Products

Lash lift kit
Does the neutralizer contain the ingredient “Sodium Bromate” ?
Yes. The active ingredient of the neutralizer is an oxidant agent, which reconnects the disulfide bonds in the eyelashes that were broken by the perming lotion. Commonly used oxidants are sodium bromate and hydrogen peroxide. Sodium bromate works best at a neutral pH value, and can achieve a firm, elastic styling effect.
Glue
How do I choose the right lifting glue for eyelashes?
The choice of glue for eyelash lifting depends on several factors, including skin type, application habits and personal skills. Here are some tips for you:
Skin type: For sensitive skin, we recommend choosing strong sticky glue.
Habits: If you don't want the glue to leave a waxy residue when applied, we recommend choosing strong sticky glue; if you need a very sticky glue and don't mind a slightly elastic status quo during application, we recommend choosing super sticky glue.
Personal skills: If you are a professional, we recommend using liquid lifting glue, strong sticky glue and super sticky glue are ideal for you. If you are a beginner, we recommend lifting glue balm, non-flowing glue allows you to better control the amount of glue and adjust the lashes, you can click to see the lifting glue balm page for more details.
Pigment Ink
How long does the ink typically last in the skin ?
On average, our pigments last about 1-5 years without fading, depending on the clients individual differences and the depth of the tattoo operation.
