The Bepanthol Tattoo Sunscreen with SPF 50+ is a 50ml body sunscreen designed for tattooed skin. It offers protection against UVA and UVB radiation, has an antioxidant formula, and is extra waterproof. It contains panthenol, a provitamin B5, which hydrates and supports the natural regeneration of the skin, and according to the manufacturer, it is quickly absorbed without leaving residues.
It is sought by those who want sunscreen for tattoos or ask does the sun fade tattoo ink. It is aimed at healed tattoos, people who spend hours at the beach, mountain, sea or outdoor work and want protection of tattoo colors in the long term.
The tattoo ink is located in the dermis, at a depth where some of the UV radiation reaches. The particles of the pigment are not chemically eternal. The energy of UV radiation gradually breaks down the pigment molecules, a process known as photodegradation, and the fragments are removed by the immune cells. The result is not seen in one day, it is seen over years: blurring outlines, blacks turning grayish, intense colors losing saturation. Reds, yellows, and oranges are usually the most vulnerable.
At the same time, the indirect mechanism also acts. Repeated exposure causes photoaging of the skin covering the design: thickening of the keratin layer, uneven pigmentation, collagen damage. Even if the ink remained untouched, the design would look dull because the layer above it is no longer clear. A sunburn on a tattoo accelerates both, because it causes inflammation, peeling, and dehydration. High-index protection and daily hydration are, in practice, the two things that keep an old tattoo legible.

Two points to note. First, the sunscreen is not applied to unhealed tattoos. While the area is open, irritated, or peeling, the goal is to keep it covered with clothing and away from the sun, not to be anointed with sunscreen. Start using it only after the skin has fully healed, and if in doubt, ask your tattoo artist or pharmacist. Second, protection does not last all day with one application. Reapply every 2 hours while exposed to the sun, as well as immediately after swimming, heavy sweating, or wiping with a towel.
Excessive sun exposure is a serious health risk. Avoid peak hours, also use clothing, hat, and shade, and do not expose infants and young children to the sun. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes.
No. It is not applied to unhealed tattoos. During healing, the tattoo is protected from the sun with clothing and shade. Start using it only after the skin has fully healed, and if in doubt, ask your tattoo artist or pharmacist.
Every 2 hours while exposed to the sun, and additionally after swimming, heavy sweating, or wiping with a towel. One application in the morning is not enough.
Yes. The indication extra waterproof means that the protection resists better to water, not that it remains unchanged. After swimming and wiping, the application is repeated.
UV radiation gradually breaks down the pigment particles and at the same time damages the skin covering the design. The result appears over years, as blurring outlines, graying blacks, losing saturation of intense colors. Reds, yellows, and oranges are usually the most vulnerable.
The protection index works the same way. The difference is in the formula: without fragrance, pigments, parabens, and alcohol, with panthenol for hydration, and dermatologically tested on tattooed skin.
They are two different stages. The Tattoo Balm is for the first days after tattooing and for hydration. The sunscreen is for long-term color protection of already healed tattoos.
It is a body sunscreen. For tattoos on the face or very close to the eyes, consult your pharmacist for an appropriate facial sunscreen.
