Bepanthen Tattoo Intense Care Ointment, Formulated with Provitamin B5, 50g

Product Information

Aids natural skin regeneration. Try looking for a product that contains specific ingredients such as provitamin B5 that aids natural skin recovery, and does not contain ingredients that can cause irritation, such as perfumes and fragrances, dyes or alcohol.

In that case, it’s best to use an alternative aftercare product to Bepanthen Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil Pastor-Nieto, MA., Gatica-Ortega, ME.

Is suitable for tattooed skin. Try to find a cream that has been dermatologically tested for tattooed or sensitive skin. The main difference and advantage is that the Tattoo Care version has been dermatologically tested on tattoos which can put your mind to rest if you are worried.This means they have done a clinical study on its use with tattoos. However, if you are allergic to wool, lanolin, or nuts you should probably use another product to avoid an adverse reaction. Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).

But the Tattoo version tends to be more expensive so you can save money by just using the original tried and tested Nappy Rash Version. Mr Bees Manuka Tattoo Aftercare Cream is very effective and even better it is completely natural, and a cream you are able to continue with after your tattoo has healed.

However, on further investigation, it turns out she had been using large amounts of the cream for much longer than the three days I recommended. There are plenty of alternatives to Bepanthen. I now mostly use Saniderm Tatoo bandagesfor most of my clients. Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment can also be used in the tattoo process The “Bepanthen has changed ingredients” rumor Any licensed and reputable tattoo artist will tell you exactly how you should look after a new tattoo on the day, but in case you were too nervous/excited/worried to pay full attention, we explain how to get the best from your new tattoo. Bepanthen is great if you have dry skin over your tattoo when it’s fully healed. Use a very thin layerto soothe and moisturize the skin to have a vibrant tattoo.

How long after a tattoo can I shower normally?

As mentioned above, the cream contains Lanolin which comes from sheep, meaning that Bepanthen is not suitable for vegans. We will discuss some Vegan alternatives later. In the past, tattoos were often simply smeared with petroleum jelly to keep the wound nice and smooth. Many tattoo artists advise against this today because petroleum jelly is greasy and doesn’t support healing; classic healing ointments or special creams for tattoos are better. Once the scabs begin to flake off, resist the urge to scrub at them and let the skin flakes come off gently in the shower. Sudacrem should never be used to heal tattoos.It doesn’t allow the skin to breathe and may cause infection due to moisture being trapped under the ointment layer.

Bepanthen ® Tattoo Ointment has been dermatologically tested on tattooed skin in a clinical study. The clinical study investigated the efficacy and cosmetic performance of Bepanthen ® Tattoo Ointment on the healing of freshly tattooed skin when applied 4-8 times daily over 14 days. All participants showed an uncomplicated healing process of the skin and there were no reported adverse events considered unrelated to the tattooing process. Tattoo colour fading was not reported as an adverse effect to Bepanthen ® Tattoo Ointment in the clinical study 1. After hearing about the demand for ointments made specifically for tattoo aftercare, Bepanthen developed a line of products called Bepanthen Tattoo. This dermatologically tested ointment is said to heal and protect tattoos, so what makes it different from their standard product? I still recommendit to people who are allergic to dressing films. I also still recommend it to clients to use after they have removed their tattoo bandage if their skin is dry. Nada AA, Arul MR, Ramos DM, et al. Bioactive polymeric formulations for wound healing. Polym Adv Technol. 2018;29(6):1815-1825. doi:10.1002/pat.4288New tattoos are open wounds, and it’s always recommended that you allow your tattoo time to weep before applying any lotions, ointments, or creams. Even after your tattoo has had three to four days to finish weeping, you should be cautious about what you put on your tattoo and there are some ingredients in Bepanthen that raise some concerns. Produced from oils high in oleic acid, this sought-after substance is most often derived from sources like olive oil, peanut oil, teaseed oil, and pecan oil. I have recommended Bepanthento my clients as an aftercare product for many years, before switching to using Saniderm more recently. With so many tattoo aftercare products on the market, choose one that suits your skin and feels best to you. Everyone’s skin is different, so what works for one person, won’t work for another. Here are a few things to consider before buying: Don’t submerge in water: You can get your tattoo wet with short showers, but it shouldn't be submerged or soaked in the bath or swimming for at least two-to-three weeks (or longer) until healed.
