# 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
Super Essence
Which is better, numbing cream or numbing essence?

In terms of penetration speed, numbing essence penetrates the skin faster than numbing cream and takes effect faster, but it has higher requirements for the operator and needs to avoid the numbing liquid from flowing into the eyes. For new beginners and eyeliner tattoo treatment, we recommend using numbing cream.

Nano cream
Do your tattoo numb products turn brown? How should they be stored?

Because the tattoo numb product is formulated with a lidocaine and procaine base, it must be stored in a cool, light-proof place. Excessive room temperature, exposure to sunlight, or failure to seal the cap after opening may result in discoloration and deterioration of the product, which may result in loss of the numbing effect.

Here are some instruction for you:

1. Keep tattoo numb numbing cream in cool place and avoid sunlight.

2. After open, please close the lid as soon as possible, make sure that you have already close it tightly.

3. For a better effect to prevent the open cream / essence get touch with the air, you can cover with a plastic film on the tube port, then close with lid.

4. Numb nuts cream for tattoo can also be stored in the crisper section of the refrigerator if you are experiencing hot weather.
