Learn which tattoo aftercare ointments are ideal for semi-permanent makeup healing, backed by expert insights and industry best practices.

# 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.

FAQ

Powder Pigment

What is the color retention rate and color retention time of the pigment?

QM pigments have a higher retention rate than most other tattoo ink brands on the market. With nearly 20 years of microblading pigment permanent makeup formulation experience, the color retention rate of the pigment can be as high as 99%, and the color retention time is generally 3-5 years.

Eyelash Perming Glue Balm

Easy to do by myself?

Yes, you could use by yourself DIY at home.

Glue

With this very sticky glue, will the lashes fall off when I use the perm lotion?

Our glue is very sticky and after drying it holds the lashes very firmly to the lash silicone perm rod. Although our glue is water-soluble and can be easily cleaned with water, since there is not much water in the perm lotion, there is not enough water in it to dissolve the glue, so there is no chance that the lashes will not stick to the silicone perm rod and fall off after using the perm lotion. The same goes for Neutralizers too.

Customized service

What if I can't reach the custom minimum order quantity?

We have a minimum order quantity requirement for customized products, which depends on the printing or process or raw material production. The minimum order quantity is calculated separately for each design style. If your order quantity is less than the minimum order quantity, we suggest that you can first order the outer packaging or raw materials according to the minimum order quantity, and then order the finished products in batches, so that your packaging or raw materials can be used in multiple orders.

After sales support

What should I do if I am not satisfied with the product results?

If you are not satisfied with the product or its results, please contact our customer service team immediately and provide relevant evidence. We will handle the issue as soon as possible and provide you with a solution.
