Ingredients
So, what are the all natural ingredients?
Why did we decide to use all-natural products in our sticks?
Because there are natural healing properties in nature.
-
Coconut Oil: This AMAZING oil possesses antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-bacterial properties. It is an antioxidant (which protects cells in your body from free radical damage).
-
Beeswax: When we apply this to the skin, it forms a protective barrier that holds in moisture and reduces dryness. It allows the skin to breathe and won't clog pores. It has vitamin A in it which helps rejuvenate your skin.
-
Shea Butter: The best moisturizing, regenerating, and protecting natural product in the world! It protects your skin from UV sunlight! It provides moisture, vitamins, nutrients and protection to your skin while it heals. It deeply soothes the skin and calms irritation and inflammation.
-
Jojoba Oil: Soap strip the skin of sebum which is what your sebaceous glands in the skin produces to lubricate and protect your skin. Dehydrated skin is vulnerable to germs that are looking for entry points in your skin (this is what causes infections). This oil is structurally the closest oil to that of which our own bodies make. It relieves inflammation and has vitamin E and B-Complex vitamins which help the skin regenerate and normalize.
-
Vitamin E Complex: Our E complex has d-Alpha Tocopherol, d-Beta, d-Gamma & d-Delta Tocoperols in a safflower oil, not soy which many believe helps the body heal. Vitamin E has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Three essential oils used have properties that help a wound heal. They have anti-fungal, antibacterial, astringent, and anti-inflammatory properties. The current research shows they fight MRSA and Staph infections which is imperative for tattoo healing.

Lavender Essential Oil: Powerful antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, a natural painkiller and reduces inflammation. This essential oil promotes wound healing, especially in the early phases by accelerating the formation of granulation tissue and promoting collagen synthesis, therefore locking in the ink color deep in the skin.
