# 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.

How to choose pigment for microblading?
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.
Secondary Numbing
How should I choose a numbing product? Order of use and recommendations?
Generally speaking, we recommend choosing numbing products based on your operating experience, usage habits, treatment stage, treatment area, and applicable population. Here are some tips for choosing numbing products.
1. Treatment stage: Before treatment: tattoo numb cream/tattoo numb essence; During treatment: secondary tattoo numb essence
2. Treatment area: Eyebrows: tattoo numb cream/tattoo numb essence/eyebrow patch; Eyeliner: numbing cream; Lips: tattoo numb cream/numbing essence/lip patch; Body: tattoo numb cream.
3. Operating experience: Beginner: tattoo numb cream; Professional: all are okay
4. Applicable skin: Normal skin: all are okay; Sensitive skin: nano numb cream
Pigment Ink
How long does the ink typically last in the skin ?
