Is Hybrid Pigment Ink Suitable for All Skin Types?
Professionals in the semi permanent makeup field often ask: is hybrid pigment ink suitable for all skin types? Understanding pigment compatibility is crucial to achieving safe, consistent, and long-lasting results for every client. This article provides essential insights for artists seeking reliable guidance.
What Is Hybrid Pigment Ink?
- Definition: Hybrid pigment inks blend organic and inorganic pigment bases.
- Purpose: Created to offer a wider color range, improved stability, and versatility for semi permanent makeup procedures.
- Benefits: Generally fade evenly, with high color retention and minimal color shift over time (International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020).
Suitability for Different Skin Types
Normal and Combination Skin
- Performance: Hybrid inks show excellent retention and minimal migration on normal and combination skin types.
- Color Choice Flexibility: Wide spectrum allows artists to match undertones accurately.
- Healing: Typically rapid, with predictable fading.
Oily Skin
- Challenges: Clients with oily skin may experience faster pigment fading or pigment “spreading” due to higher sebum production (PMU Journal, 2022).
- Benefits of Hybrid Inks: Offer improved color hold over fully organic inks, but may still require more frequent touch-ups.
- Recommendation: Select hybrid inks formulated for oily skin or add extra passes to ensure saturation.
Dry and Sensitive Skin
- Reaction: Generally well-tolerated, as modern hybrid inks are hypoallergenic and have lower heavy metal content (FDA Cosmetic Pigment Review, 2021).
- Aftercare: Hydration is key; clients heal swiftly with proper post-procedure protocols.
Mature and Aged Skin
- Application: Hybrid pigments settle smoothly in delicate, thinner skin typical in mature clients.
- Longevity: Provides an even fade-out, minimizing patchiness.
Other Considerations
- Allergy Risk: While rare, patch testing is recommended—especially for clients with sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
- Regulatory Standards: Choose pigments that meet EU REACH 2023 and FDA cosmetic pigment safety standards (source: European Chemicals Agency, FDA.gov).
- Technique & Skill: The expertise of the practitioner plays a significant role in pigment retention and final results.
Key Takeaways
- Hybrid pigment ink is versatile and suitable for the majority of skin types.
- Certain skin conditions (e.g., excessively oily skin) may require modified techniques or touch-up schedules.
- Always prioritize patch testing, high-quality pigment selection, and adherence to safety standards.

How to choose pigment for microblading?
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.
Will the pigments turn red, orange, blue, or purple when deposited into the skin ?
They won't. Because we use high-quality ingredients and focus on color balance, lightfastness, and pigment concentration, our shades only lighten slightly as they heal. They will never change color.

Handmade pen
What is the lifespan of a disposable microblading pen?
A best disposable microblading pen is a one-time use tool that should be used immediately after opening and discarded after use. It cannot be recycled.
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.
