The Bepanthol Tattoo Gentle Wash is a gentle body cleanser in a 200ml package, especially for tattooed skin. Its formula has a pH of 5.5, which is skin-friendly, and combines argan oil (Argania spinosa), provitamin B5 (panthenol) and vitamin B3 (niacinamide). According to the manufacturer, the ingredients of natural origin reach at least 90% and the product is hypoallergenic, i.e. it has high skin tolerance that minimizes the possibility of allergic reactions.
It is sought by those looking for cleanser for tattoos or how to wash fresh tattoo and find that the foam on the shelf dries out and smells strongly. It is also an option for foam for sensitive skin in people with many tattoos, who want a cleanser for the whole body.
The fresh tattoo is an extensive surface with micro-injuries. The epidermal barrier, the layer of cells and lipids that keeps water in and irritants out, has temporarily been disrupted. At the same time, the area must be cleaned, because germs, ink residues and sweat create crusts.
The problem is what is used. Classic soaps have an alkaline pH, around 9 to 10, while the surface of the skin is acidic, around 5. Many cleansers also contain strong anionic surfactants, fragrance and alcohol. On intact skin this usually goes unnoticed. On skin that has been pierced thousands of times, the same mixture removes lipids, changes the pH, dries out and leaves the area to pull. A pulling skin flakes out more intensely and causes more itching.
The logic of a tattoo cleanser is the opposite. Mild surfactants of the glucoside and amino acid derivative type clean without stripping, the pH 5.5 respects the natural acidic mantle, argan oil leaves lipids on the surface so that the skin does not remain dry after washing, panthenol supports the natural rebuilding process and niacinamide soothes the feeling of itching. The absence of fragrance, dyes and soap reduces unnecessary irritants in an already tested area.

Wash your hands first. Use only your fingers, never a sponge, towel or fibers, because they retain microbes and rub the area. Prefer lukewarm water and a short shower instead of a bath in the tub. Rinse off very well and dry by patting, with a clean towel or single-use paper. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and rinse with plenty of water if it happens. Stop using if irritation occurs.
They are two different steps. Gentle Tattoo Wash cleans and rinses. Tattoo Balm is a balm with 5% panthenol that stays on the skin and moisturizes it. One does not replace the other.
First the washing and then the moisturizing. Gently clean the area, rinse thoroughly, pat dry and then apply a thin layer of balm to dry skin.
The manufacturer recommends 2 to 4 times a day for at least 14 days. Follow the artist's instructions who did the tattoo at the same time.
Most cleansers and soaps have a higher pH, fragrance and stronger surfactants. On the irritated skin of a new tattoo this usually causes pulling and a feeling of dryness.
Yes, the manufacturer explicitly states use at the tattoo site or even on the whole body. Many use it as a daily cleanser when they have sensitive skin.
No. The manufacturer's statement says no added alcohol, preservatives, dyes, fragrance and soap.
No. It is a cosmetic cleanser, not an antifungal or antibacterial drug. For such conditions, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
Short lukewarm shower yes. Prolonged immersion in bathtub, sea, pool or hot tub no, until the area has healed.
If you see pus, bad odor, increasing swelling, heat, red lines around the tattoo or if you have a fever. These are possible signs of infection and need medical evaluation.
It depends on the surface you clean and the frequency. With targeted use on one tattoo, the 200ml bottle comfortably covers the first few weeks.
