  Tattoo Aftercare ingredient help

  Posted by Rrivet on August 6, 2018 at 8:19 pm

  I have a tattoo healing product that has the following ingredients:
  1. Petroleum Jelly

  2. Lanolin

  3. Vitamin E Oil 

  4. Mineral Oil

  5. Lavender Essential Oil

  I was wondering if the Petroleum jelly could be substituted for any of these ingredients:

  Olive Oil

  Beeswax

  Cocoa Butter

  Wheat Germ Oil

  Tocopheryl Acetate 

  Lavender Oil

  Sunflower Oil

  Rosemary Extract

  D&C Green 6

  Any thought or ideas are appreciated.

  You could make the simplest formula and remove everything but the vitamin e oil!  I have always used straight vit e on mine and they heal perfectly! Or use the one you already have made.

  If you are not sure if you can replace petroleum jelly with rosemary extract or D&C Green 6, then perhaps you should study more about your ingredients first and not experiment with a complicated formula(especially  on a fresh tattoo to see if it works! ) I’m not an expert by any means. Just suggesting that if you did a little research on your own first, you would probably get more meaningful input from some of the talented chemists here!
