Why did your artist hand you a solid bar?
Your artist gave you a Banger Bar because they don't want you washing their hard work with a $3 drugstore pump soap packed with harsh chemical antibacterial agents.
Most liquid soaps use synthetic detergents that strip the skin's natural microbiome—the exact bacteria your body needs to naturally recover. Worse, they leave a thin chemical film behind.
We engineered the Day 1 Bar as a dense, cold-process solid. This allows us to use raw, active ingredients without the water weight, synthetic thickeners, or chemical preservatives required to make a soap pumpable. It cleanses deeply, rinses perfectly clean, and protects the barrier.
Zero chemicals. Just raw cleansing power.
When you are dealing with freshly tattooed skin, ingredients matter. The Day 1 Bar uses a massive 42% Olive Oil base to cleanse without stripping.
42% Olive Oil Base
Unlike harsh detergents, olive oil mimics your skin's natural sebum. It effectively lifts plasma and excess ink while deeply hydrating the fresh tattoo.
Raw Shea Butter
Packed with natural vitamins and fatty acids. It provides a breathable layer of moisture that prevents the skin from feeling tight or cracking during the peeling phase.
Zero Antibacterial Agents
We completely stripped out synthetic antibacterial chemicals like Triclosan. It protects your skin’s natural microbiome, letting your body dictate the recovery timeline.
How to execute perfect aftercare.
-
1
Prime the lather. Run the Day 1 Bar under luke warm water and lather it in your hands for 10-15 seconds first. This activates the natural glycerin, ensuring the cold-process soap glides smoothly without snagging the skin.
-
2
Wash and rinse. Apply the lather with clean hands, or glide the primed bar directly over the fresh tattoo. Never use washcloths or loofahs. Wash away weeping plasma, rinse gently, and pat dry with a clean paper towel.

3
Transition at Day 50. After 45-60 days, when the skin is completely settled, switch to your free Day 50+ Exfoliating Bar. It buffs away the dead "frosted" skin to keep the healed ink looking sharp forever.
