Your First Defense for a Calm Start
Your new tattoo is a masterpiece. The aftercare journey should be just as carefully considered. Generic soaps are too harsh for freshly tattooed skin, often causing dryness, irritation, and stress that can affect the final look of your art.
The Day 1 Bar is different. It's the specialist. We created a precise, nutrient-rich recipe designed to work with your skin during its most sensitive stage. It gently cleanses what needs to be cleansed and calms what needs to be calmed, ensuring your masterpiece gets the best start possible.
The Sea Buckthorn Difference: Nature’s Calming Agent
The hero of our Day 1 formula is Sea Buckthorn Oil, a powerful natural antioxidant known for its incredible skin-soothing properties. This "superfruit" oil helps:
-
Soothe Discomfort: Provides an immediate calming sensation to stressed, tender skin.
-
Support the Skin Barrier: Defends against dryness and promotes a supple, resilient appearance.
-
Nourish and Protect: Feeds your skin the nutrients it needs to look its best, ensuring your colors stay bold and your lines stay crisp from the very beginning.
The Day 1 Bar Vibe
-
Best If: Your tattoo is fresh (days 1-14) or feels irritated.
-
What It Does: Gently cleanses away plasma and residue while delivering a powerful calming boost.
-
The Feel: Soft, soothing, and incredibly reassuring for new ink.
Your Day 1 Ritual
-
Lather Up: Wet your hands and work the bar into a rich, gentle lather.
-
Apply Gently: Using only your fingertips, lightly apply the lather over your new tattoo.
-
Rinse Clean: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until all soap is gone.
-
Pat Dry: Carefully pat the area dry with a clean paper towel or let it air dry.
-
Follow Up: Continue with your preferred tattoo balm or moisturizer. Use for the first 1-2 weeks or until the tattoo is fully peeled.
What's Next?
Once your tattoo has passed its initial peeling phase, we recommend switching to our Any Day Bar – Balance + Restore to maintain your ink's hydration and vibrancy for life.
