Understanding Pigment Safety for Sensitive and Oily Skin
- Why Safety Matters
- Sensitive and oily skin types react differently to pigments.
- Potential risks: allergic reactions, premature pigment fading, irritation (PMU Journal, 2022).
- Key Factors in Pigment Safety
- Hypoallergenic formulas reduce irritation risk.
- Non-comedogenic ingredients prevent pore clogging, crucial for oily skin (FDA, 2023).
Formulation and Ingredient Standards
- Safe Pigment Characteristics
- Sterile, high-purity ingredients minimize infection and allergy risk.
- Free from heavy metals, parabens, and fragrances—common irritants (European Society of Cosmetic Chemists).
- Patch Testing Protocols
- Essential for sensitive skin clients, even with “safe” pigments.
- Perform 48 hours prior to procedure; monitor for erythema, swelling, or pruritus (Dermatology Times, 2021).
Considerations for Oily Skin
- Pigment Retention Challenges
- Oil production can dilute pigment and accelerate fading.
- Opt for concentrated, iron oxide-based pigments for better longevity (SMT Journal).
- Aftercare Adjustments
- Recommend oil-control post-care products.
- Advise against heavy creams in treated areas.
Considerations for Sensitive Skin
- Minimizing Reactions
- Use pigments with natural, plant-derived colorants where possible.
- Avoid pigments containing nickel or chromium; common sensitizers (National Eczema Association).
- Technique Modifications
- Lighter hand and shallower implantation depth can reduce trauma.
Regulatory and Industry Standards
- Reputable Brands and Certifications
- Always verify pigment compliance with EU/US cosmetic safety standards.
- Look for documentation: MSDS, Product Safety Data Sheets, batch traceability (EMA, FDA Guidelines).
Professional Tips for Practitioners
- Educate clients: disclose pigment composition and safety data.

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.
Micro Blade
How to use microblading needle? Is finest blade the best needles for microblading?
Choosing the thickness of a microblade depends largely on several factors, including the type of eyebrow tattoo, the level of detail required and the individual's tattooing skills. Here are some basic guidelines:
Type of eyebrow tattoo: Detail and line tattoos: finer lines and details can often be achieved with finer needles (e.g. 0.16mm or 0.18mm).
Filling and shading: slightly thicker needles (e.g. 0.20mm or 0.25mm) may be required for better color coverage and shading effects on the skin.
Individual tattooing techniques: Novice tattoo artists may tend to use thicker needles to minimize manipulation time on the skin, while experienced tattoo artists have the flexibility to choose needles of different thicknesses to achieve more varied results.
Skin type: The texture and thickness of different skins can also affect needle selection. Thicker skin may require a slightly thicker needle to ensure that the color and lines penetrate effectively.
Hair condition: The thickness of the client's native hair is also an important factor in choosing the thickness of the needles. Thicker hairs will require slightly thicker needles to ensure that the lines are consistent with the native hairs.
Do I need to use more than one blade during the procedure?
Our blades are made of 304 stainless steel, sharp and tough, usually one blade can support the completion of the entire microblading process. However, due to the different conditions of the customer's eyebrows, the operator may choose different sizes of blades for treatment accordingly, at this time, it may be necessary to use more than one blade in the microblading professional eyebrow microblading process.
