This ointment provides effective tattoo care & protection, and contains Dexpanthenol to aid skin recovery. The formula creates a waterproof and breathable protective layer that provides the moisture level needed to help the skin regenerate from within and to stabilise the natural skin barrier function. This product works by forming a water resistant (water-in-oil) protective layer. This breathable barrier helps treat the tattooed skin by protecting it from external irritants. This product has been dermatologically tested.
