How It Works
01
Apply
Apply a thin layer to your fresh tattoo 2–3 times daily. A little goes a long way — no need to over-apply.
02
Absorb
16+ active ingredients absorb deep into the dermis. Manuka honey creates a protective barrier while beeswax locks in moisture.
03
Heal
Your tattoo heals faster, stays vibrant longer, and peels less. Repeat through all 4 healing phases for best results.
